Word For The Day, Monday, 4/30/12
;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".
Bemuse;transitive verb CLICK THE WORD FOR PRONUNCIATION
: to make confused : puzzle, bewilder 2: to occupy the attention of : distract, absorb 3: to cause to have feelings of wry or tolerant amusement — be·mus·ed·ly \-ˈmyü-zəd-lē\ adverb — be·muse·ment \-ˈmyüz-mənt\ noun
Etymology: "to make utterly confused," from be- + muse (cf. amuse), attested from 1735 but probably older, as Pope (1705) punned on it as "devoted utterly to the Muses."
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....
His baseless ad is a stretch and is designed to confuse and bemuse. To argue that someone potentially wouldn’t have the experience to pull the trigger is one thing. To argue that someone wouldn’t have the guts, or the will, to pull the trigger is entirely another thing.
A+++ did you hear that Barry referred to the Falklands/Malvinas as the MALDIVES???? not a peep from the MSM, but honest to God, if Bush had said that it’d be front page news.
I quite Understand!
Like the Russian Folksong says:
“Nichevo, nichevo, nichevo” (Nothing, nothing, nothing...)
What has been conveniently forgotten and/or ignored by the mainstream media is that the pinpointing of bin Laden's location was the direct result of "intensive interrogation," a tactic that Obama, Holder, et al, have vilified. Bragging about killing a terrorist whose whereabouts were revealed by means of a policy Obama claims is not only cruel, but ineffective, smacks of the hypocrisy he has developed into an art form.
A+++ i am sensing that the sauce has been dipped into already this AM... ; ) A+++
A+++ he’s a joke, plain and simple. but is the populace still so bemused by his racial makeup that they will continue to vote for him?
There is always a down the rabbit-hole kind of feeling when talking anything about Obama, bc of that hypocrisy.
B+
; )
Many of us remain bemused by the story that obama and his muslim stepfather Lolo ate dog meat, which is haram for muslims and just plain disgusting for many Christians and Jews.
Meanwhile, Serbs and others eat the classically haram food pork, to fight muslim domination!!!!
The Browns could have used another playmaker, but did land a quality offensive tackle in Cal's Mitchell Schwartz. ... They reached in the fourth round on Cincinnati defensive tackle John Hughes. Grade: C
pork is yum! A+++
A+++ when you talk about the NFLdraft, i hear the adult voices in a charlie brown cartoon special... : )
Watching the NHL playoffs unfold, there seem to be a lot of bemused goaltenders playing… Vezina candidates looking quite ordinary, and others you barely hear of normally stealing the show.
At the squad banquet one of our two Dems was sitting w/me. I did the first Dem, my driver relating how he went crazed and was yelling at a Rep that if we stay away from another McCain he can vote pubbie this time. Did it on the truck room floor and we were hysterical. I related the event and gave him an elephant ball that you blow up and can toss around to work off his frustrations instead of on us. Went over well. Then I had the other Dem...said this one doesn’t much like debating his Obama, so I just gave him the Obama video that has been out, which I found at the DOLLAR store for $1. Woman next to him shouts out that “that’s because they can’t even give them away. no one wants them”....we all cracked up and he attempted to stay good natured. He then exclaimed that the movie had a presidential trading card inside....there was some hoot and hollering about that. Definitely NOT an Obama room.
odd games of late. wonder which team will show up for the Caps tonight. they have a multiple personality disorder. A+++
encouraging news from the front!
I love that bumper sticker - I saw an oldie but goodie yesterday on the back of a small truck: (photo of The One) “Does this ass make my bumper look big?”
