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....

nates \na*tez\, plural noun

1. The buttocks.
2. The two anterior of the four lobes on the dorsal side of the midbrain of most mammals; the anterior optic lobes.
3. The umbones of a bivalve shell.

The democrats will find that their plethora of piffle will come to bite them on the nates. Of course, those blissoming bullies will become anorchus amoebas when they're trumped and tromped in the edifying election.

careful rolling on them steps - it's rather lonely bouncing as you roll down...

[xsmommy]

[camle]

Hi EOD, Bye EOD! Have fun.

[xsmommy]

the weird thing is that this summer has REALLY not been all that hot. this week has to be the worst, but certainly we have had hotter summers that have had much more protracted periods of high energy demand than this one. odd that 3-4 hot and humid days in a row threw such a monkeywrench in.

[Agnes Heep]

Once more, I beseech,
Dear friends to the breech!
The Episcopal Bishop harangued.
For heaven awaits,
Who broaches the nates,
And all Biblical scruples be hanged!

[RikaStrom]

Ok kiddies, stay out of trouble, have fun... I am off to the real world.

[Gabz]

You poor thing.

[xsmommy]

Bravo to Newsmax for taking on hotel chains that do not carry Fox News Channel. all conservatives should vow not to rest their weary nates, anywhere you cannot get FNC.

[xsmommy]

Pentagon charged for boob job. Guess we are lucky she didn't have her nates nipped and tucked as well.

[Slip18]

Good morning, Miss Rika. Nice word. LOL!

My nates were tied in a knot last night with the little storm that blew in. We had seven alerts. The boom-booms drove me and the dogs crazy. The lightning was spectacular!

I'll check, but has the Tiger checked in?

[Gabz]

Very good article indeed, with one exception. They questioned a satelitte provider, but not a cable provider.

For the longest time I could not get FNC in Dover because my cable provider did not carry it.

and I do know that the Sheraton in Dover does get FNC.

[Gabz]

BwaaaaHaaaaaaaaaaHaaaaaaaaa

[camle]

we've had two weeks of nonstop high humidity. even though the temps remained in teh 80's range, it was dern uncomfortable up here. yesterday while hotter by almost 10 degrees, was much more comfy because it was dryer.

[Slip18]

Nice predictions!

[Gabz]

The humidity here is disgusting.

Hubby put up the gun rack this morning and when he went to retrieve the guns from the closet, they were coated with mold.

[camle]

those predictions are very bit as profound as the ones they're now holding up for adulation. maybe someday I'll be held up for adulation and prescience?
