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. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Haven’t checked my mood ring yet. Y’all behave yourselves, ya hear? Principal JimRob is still out of town. I expect the utmost respect on this thread today. The Mods have been overworked lately.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer.
Folderol, also Folderal noun:
Pronunciation: Pronounced about three different ways. Take your pick.
Etymology: Probably fr. Latin
1) Impractical, unnecessary or excessive trimming of finery or effects: pretty, but flimsy or useless ornament : something that is unnecessary: trifle, gewgaw
2) A nonessential talk or action: piffle, nonsense
RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.
If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.
Miss Slippy is still sleepy.
So start class without me.
Hi
I'll be in when my eyes open.
Present. I was engaging in folforal in yesterday's thread.
Found out from Cyber why I was posting to the wrong area. Sheesh.
Morning!
wheleopw
Make that folderol. Isn't that something I can add to laundry so it will fold itself?
Looks as if we're going to have a regular sandwich day today.
i like PIFFLE even better than folderol.
So it's Conspiracy Guy, Secret Garden and Gabz for win, place and show. Congrats!
while it seems I've used the word nearly all my life........for the life of me I never knew how to spell it.
learn something new every day!
Morning, xs!
The G's are wide awake today! Woo-hoo!
I wish. Wouldn't it be nice?
I din't get as much sleep as I wanted.....but did my mommy duty and got up this morning, wrapped the teachers' presents and delivered them along with the munchkin to school.....on time!!!!
i felt moved to type that....
i slept better so i am in a better mood today.
