Word For The Day, Monday
5/5/03

Posted on 05/05/2003 12:03:04 AM PDT by Bella_Bru

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....


Ok, it has been brought to my attention that some things were said somewhere else and were attributed to me and my feelings for WFTD. Originally, I was not going to be harsh, in fact I was going to apologize. Upon futher consideration though, I have decided I have nothing to apologize for. Let's take this step by step, shall we?

1. First off, I do not dislike WFTD nor do I dislike any of you. I rather do like you all quite a bit.
2. Second, I think my own thoughts, I have my own feelings. The person who I am with is NOT MY FREAKING SPOKESPERSON. Therefore, DO NOT ASSUME ANYONE ELSE'S WORDS ARE MINE. Believe it or not, even though I am female I do not rely on a male to provide my thoughts and feelings for me. People that do that are weak.
3. If you have any more ASSUMPTIONS or questions, you can FReepmail me, instead of having a FReepmail whisper-a-thon with each other, okie dokie?

Onto our WFTD.

neoterism\Ne*ot"er*ism\, noun:

An innovation or novelty; a neoteric word or phrase.

I'm sick of watching the weather. We just loaded up at the local library and then read to our hearts' content today since they forgot about card games. Whew!

It's not as messy as 52-pickup and kids love it. Each person flips a card and whoever/whomever(Garner, help me out here) sees the jack first and slaps it gets to keep all the cards in that stack. Like war, who/whom/ever has the most cards at the end, wins.
