Word For The Day, Day, Date
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".
irascible

i·rasci·bili·ty or i·rasci·ble·ness n. i·rasci·bly adv.
1. Prone to outbursts of temper; easily angered. 2.Characterized by or resulting from anger. 3: quickly aroused to anger; "a hotheaded commander" [syn: choleric, hotheaded, hot-tempered, quick-tempered, short, short-tempered] 4: characterized by anger; "a choleric outburst"; "an irascible response" [syn: choleric]
Etymology: Middle English, from Old French, from Late Latin rscibilis, from Latin rsc, to be angry, from ra, anger. See eis- in Indo-European Roots.]
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. ;-)

The irrascible Mr. Dean
like some hatefilled angry machine,
filled with venom, bile and spleen
danced across our TV screen
to set us straight on what we have seen:
Osama Bin Ladin had no role in 9/11. Amazing!

Hmmmmmmmm.........I better check the forecast - last I checked it wasn't supposed to start raining until tomorrow.
About a month. We talk on the cell phone every day or two, but it's not like being home. We may have a good bite on the house in Georgia, though. On the first showing, the people were there for an hour. They're trying to see if they have enough $$ to expand the master suite a little (that's the only criticism they had of the house, evidently).
Keep your fingers crossde, if you please. :)

The irascible Bonnie & Clyde (Mr. & Mrs. Barrow) were shot to death by police in Louisiana. The killing was promptly followed by the customary crawfish boil and fish fry.

4 pregnancies by the age of 16 and the "mother" (I use the term lightly)is blaming the school..........that is disgusting and while I'm normally not a big proponent of it, I believe she should be stripped of parental rights for all three of her "daughters" and their offspring.
Dear Lord...........
Thank you; I have plenty of slack that needs cutting.
Rose and shone hours ago.

Yep but I feel great. I've lost 10 pounds. My waist went from 35 to 32. I call my program, workacise. It is much more effective than deskercise.
