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....

You didn't put up a placard with "BARF ALERT" on it. Oh, man.

[Slip18]

It sure does cover every event. Very thoughtful of someone. LOL!

[TheGrimReaper]

Don't know, but they have certainly broken away from the "mainstream" of planet Earth.

[Slip18]

I lived in L.A. at the time they were breaking away. Everyone knew if you moved to West Hollywood -- well, you know.

[TheGrimReaper]

Nope... plus, I'm sure X42Klintoon will be "on hand" for the event.
That's too low-class, even for me.

Missed a meeting yesterday?

Ooops.

Wasn't as bad as the idiot who ACTUALLY committed that old nightmare of showing up for the final at the wrong room in the wrong building at the wrong time!

He caught hell form the prof, but at least was able to work for a "minimum legal" time. Rest of us who had gotten there on time could work as long we could concentrate. (Me? 4-1/2 hours of writing on that stupid test.....Jean was faster.)

[Robert A Cook PE]

Get rid of that useless couch, rug and table and you'll a NICE dance floor.

[Robert A Cook PE]

[Gabz]

BTW, EOD, seeing as though you are dithing tomorrow, I guess we will have a party for you Monday. BUT, you are going to miss a treat: 2 words, one from Rika, one from...doubled I think...both of which are total Friday words.
