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....

  1. Not spoken: indicated tacit approval by smiling and winking.
    1. Implied by or inferred from actions or statements: Management has given its tacit approval to the plan.

  2. Archaic. Not speaking; silent

The storm didn't wake her up - she was in the bathroom and got spooked, so instead of going back to her bed she crawled into ours.
