Word For The Day, Monday, 5/15/17
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".
caterwaul; verb/caterwauling;noun
verb (used without object)
1.
to utter long wailing cries, as cats in rutting time.
2.
to utter a similar sound; howl or screech.
3.
to quarrel like cats.
noun, Also, caterwauling
4.
the cry of a cat in rutting time.
5.
any similar sound.
Etymology: late 14c., caterwrawen, perhaps from Low German katerwaulen "cry like a cat," or formed in English from cater, from Middle Dutch cater "tomcat" + Middle English waul "to yowl," apparently from Old English *wrag, *wrah "angry," of uncertain origin but all somehow imitative. Related: Caterwauled ; caterwauling.
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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
the caterwauling of the Left has reached fever pitch. that Louise Mensch character, I am not even sure what she is/does etc, is convinced there has been a sealed indictment issued against Trump and that there is so much corruption at the top that after the dust clears ORRIN FRICKING HATCH will be president. There is no end to the crazy out there on the LEft.
No pushing at the door please!
morning.
I’ve used this word to describe how some “performers” hose-up our National Anthem.
yes you do see a fair amount of that! A+
The caterwauling on election night by the Democrats was the sweetest music I have heard in years..........................
I’m so sick of the caterwauling of leftists who refuse to accept our President, yet want thousand of dangerous muslims to enter our country!!!!

Somehow they think it’s effective.
They think it will change my mind.
They are following someone’s directive.
Yet somehow, they think I am blind.
They think it will cause deep reflection,
They think it will leave me bereft,
They think I will change my direction,
And veer from the Right to the Left.
The safe space, the free speech suppression,
The violence, over-the-top,
Will one day expose their “possession”,
And the caterwauling will stop.
A+++ I agree, but you know despite the win, and despite the repub control of all the branches we are STILL in a situation where conservatives cannot speak on college campuses, Bill Oreilly is left without a forum [yes he was not my fave, and undoubtedly a sexual harasser, but he was a powerful and loud voice against the left in many many instances, and they are the ones that pushed him out].
Pres Trump simply has to BREAK the MSM, just crush it. that’s the only hope.
A+++ there is insanity rampant in this country.
that was truly fantastic, thank you! A+++++
Why Thank you! Thanks for doing the WFTD. :-)
The caterwauling over James Comey and Trump’s subsequent “warning” about taped conversations leaves me disgusted with the phoney left. There is nothing more to be said about Comey — both sides want him gone for good reason. Regarding Oval Office “taping”, isn’t that to be expected? There has been a recording device in the Oval Office since at least Kennedy. Everybody knows that and should expect that when talking to the President and probably many other leaders, as well.
A byte late ... The continuous feminist screeching and yelling from the pussy-hat dwelling crowd was music to his years .... Yes, their caterwailing despair was pleasant to hear.
Mensch is a mental patient
