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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Thank Goodness It's Finally FRIDAY!
Class is now in session. The rules are simple, you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book, and the whip and chair.
There once was a thread about Kobe
That kept making me go, Oh Gee!
It caused potation
My head a' Achin'
So far from there is where I'll be!
If any of you miscreants pull me into a Kobe thread today, it will be quadruple F minuses, and a year's detention for you. And you won't be picked for dodge ball either!!!

"I like mine with lettuce and tomatoes,
Heinz 57 and french-fried
potators,
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer,
Good God almighty! Which way do I steer
For my cheeseburger in Paradise?"

The teach remembers nothing if she is not reminded of it in advance.

You betcha. It was time to change the tag. I love my NBA team but all the talk about basketball players and their problems is making me look forward to football.
