Word For The Day, 5/8/03
5/8/03

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!

Please excuse me for not addressing the subject of your post RAC, but I trust you celebrated your 25th anniversary appropriately last night, particularly in view of the grueling exam you endured on the same date.

XS has a special fondness for GW, Rumsfeld and IMHO particularly Richard Cheney. She is very possessive, and defensive when Richard's name is mentioned in any manner other than the most respectful or endearing.

I just wanted for forewarn you.

Despite his oppression of freedom loving plebeians in his own country, Fidel Castro still has his loyal cheerleadsers, like Danny Glover.

It's cold outside with no kind of atmosphere
I'm all alone, more or less
I want to fly far away from here
Fun, fun fun in the sun, sun sun

I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose
Drinking fresh Mango juice
Goldfish shoals nipping at my toes
Fun, fun fun in the sun, sun sun
