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 Students. Welcome to class!
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; the whip and chair.
I don't have a specific example today, so y'all will just have to muddle along.
Tacit agreement
A conservative's downfall
Action is needed!

Nothing tacit in
this article about the bizarre weather conditions, it's just further proof that nobody really knows how to predict the weather.

Morning Miss Rika. Why are people blaming some nameless pranster for being tardy? I got her on time because I slept here.

Camle, you know better than to fall for the "mail just before classroom opening" game.
To: RikaStrom
No Miss Rika, I slept here because I was smoking behind the gym yesterday and didn't see your car. Gonna go smoke now.
