Posted on 05/08/2003 12:37:25 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....


Do you have a word you'd like to see used? Freepmail me, and if it has not been used in a while, I will add it to our list.

Do you have a birthday coming up? Please FReepmail me with the date and I will make a special birthday thread for you!

Cuchi-Cuchi!

Charo's still active and playing at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas indefinitely. I guess that means until her Cuchi-Cuchi wears out.

How did you beat me to that photo of Charo?

I have another one, though. This is her Spanish persona portraiture.

Xavier Cugat died on October 27, 1990. His biography says nothing about any children.

Everything is Breaking News over there. It's just to get someone angry about "Breaking News."

There are a lot of excellent posters over there, but the ones who hang out at the "Bar" to watch our postings are insufferable gossip-mongers.

Homework:

Each national military academy argues about its traditions, (and each thinks its the toughest to get through their own way), but I believe the facts speaks for themselves: Texas A&M put more officers (and enlisted) in uniform in WWII than the others combined.

And I still think that the and second years at A&M (being a "fish" "p-head" or "frog") is harder than a plebeian at West Point.
