Word For The Day, Monday, 5/1/17



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".

ruction; noun

1.

an uproar; noisy or quarrelsome disturbance

2.

(pl) a violent and unpleasant row; trouble: there'll be ructions when she finds out

Etymology: n.

"disturbance," 1825, dialectal or colloquial, of unknown origin. Perhaps from eruption or an altered shortening of insurrection.

Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for 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....

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

well it's May Day, so of course all lefties, commies, and assorted misfits intend to cause ructions.

No pushing at the door please!

The democrats suffered great ruction
The economy’s underproduction
During Barry’s eight years
From left-wing engineers
Led to their election destruction

Generally speaking, young people are more prone to raise a ruction than elderly people (although there are exceptions).

It’s a ruction over the death of a bunny
United killed it, and it’s not really funny
Cremated it too
No autopsy for you
No explanation how it died or hush money.

United blew it again. They just keep digging.

The eastern World,
It is Explodin’
And North Korea
Is Implodin’
The left is mad
“cuz of the votin’
And exposing their lies
Is “Verboten”
As they mope in the basements
And receive their parents’ dotin’
Now the White House finally has a real president again
And the only thing the left can do is cause a RUCTION!
