Word For The Day, Friday, 6/3/05
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".
exigency; n
1. The state or quality of requiring much effort or immediate action. 2. A pressing or urgent situation. See Synonyms at crisis. 3. Urgent requirements; pressing needs. Often used in the plural.
concupiscence; n
A strong desire, especially sexual desire; lust
Entymology:Middle English, from Old French, from Late Latin concupscentia, from Latin concupscns, concupscent- present participle of concupscere inchoative of concupere, to desire strongly : com-, intensive pref.; see com- + cupere, to desire.]
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....
Michael Jackson is going to get off. (Pun intended.)
This annoys me because the next trial I wanted to see was every one of his victims' parents being charged with child endangerment.
I'm having to coach a coworker. Today is his 5th wedding anniv, and he hasn't purchased a gift for his wife yet. They have dinner reservations, but he'd better go shopping today at lunch! By the way, not only is this his 5th, it is their 1st anniv since the birth of their 1st child.
i still believe in corporal punishment, young man.... ; )
yeah, i agree, but they say that child molesters seek out screwed up families for their victims, so as to make them less believable.
he needs something decent for 5 years! xshub is going to hork me off i think. he knows i think 20 is significant, and he is pooh-poohing it, saying 25 is significant, 20 isn't. he also said he has ordered the garden fountain that i had mentioned wanting, as an anniversary gift. i said divorce proceedings will be initiated instantly....
Garden fountain sounds cool, but not as an anniversary gift!
i think he was just yanking my chain with it, i said it was not remotely appropriate for a 20th anniversary. he knows what i want, but it costs a fair amt, so i won't hold him to it. he seems to come through on anniversaries that are NOT as noteworthy, i guess just to be perverse. we are going to do the furniture shortly, so even though that won't be considered annivesary gift (bc that would TOTALLY P me O. don't try to call something we were going to do anyway, a GIFT for God's sake!) it would ameliorate him not going for the big anniverary gift this go-round.
Good morning.
Notice I said "Good morning"? Usually I'm in during the afternoon. But here I am, downing coffee & a muffin. Apparently the exigencies of my job force me to come in early and forgo my usual concupiscent late hours.
I'd be shocked if you didn't....
i barely recognized you at this time of day!!!! A+++ hope those exigencies clear up for you there and allow you to get about your concupiscence.... ; )
Morning!
exigencies being what they are, i feel compelled to give you an A+++ ; )
Excuse my distractedness this am - several different exigencies have cropped up in the Gabz/coolbreeze household this morning. Not the least of which is the leaking roof because of the east wind...........
oh no!
We know exactly what the problem is - but because of the rain the only thing colbreeze could do was anchor down some heavy plastic up there to try and divert the water.......it has helped. The dripping through the kitchen ceiling has stopped - but I am still mopping up water in the family room..it's coming from the base of the wall..........
my sympathies. leaks are no fun.
Thanks. I'm not looking for a pity party - it's just so frustrating.....because the weather last week didn't let him get to that particular section ofo the roof. He's really torqued off about it.
I'm sure your chain is being yanked!
