Word For The Day, Tuesday, May 1, 2012
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".
ullage [uhl-ij]
-n
1. the amount by which the contents fall short of filling a container, as a cask or bottle.
2. the quantity of wine, liquor, or the like, remaining in a container that has lost part of its contents by evaporation, leakage, or use.
3. Rocketry the volume of a loaded tank of liquid propellant in excess of the volume of the propellant; the space provided for thermal expansion of the propellant and the accumulation of gases evolved from it.
[1400–50; late Middle English < Anglo-French ulliage; Old French ouillage, ( h ) eullage wine needed to fill a cask, equivalent to ( a ) ouill ( er ) to fill (a cask) (derivative of ouil eye, hole < Latin oculus ) + -age -age ]
Hilarious - and I agree, Sean Connery is the real James Bond! By the way, the guy who said that plays the director in the new tv show “Smash”
Agreed.
hilarious!
funniest thing since “Newt Judges You”
That is absolutely hilarious-I sent the link to my cub-she thinks Paul Ryan is hot, especially his eyes...
I totally agree-Sean Connery is James Bond I fondly watched in the movies-the others sort of pale beside him.
NTBCW the ululage associated with certain groups who celebrate when evil things happen to America & Israel.
I was just talking to the guy I work for about a bid and he said let’s have a really good laugh at a horndog we both know and I said sure. He showed me a place where lounge lizards congregate along with skank females, and I saw some of the most outrageous and unprintable back-and-forth ever, and it was funny. All either of us could think of was:
“You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you...”
Some people have no shame...
And the writer of “Coupling,” Steven Moffat wrote or executive produced many of the new Doctor Who’s.
“help me. I’m broke upon my insides.
help me. I ain’t got no soul to sell.”
“Help me the only thing that works for me,
help me get away from myself”-and the chorus is mostly unprintable...
I like NIN though-the song seemed so appropriate for the angst-y self centered stuff we saw going on there...
Not me, but I do follow him on Twitter.
By the by, we had a marathon session of Downton Abbey season 2 today since it was due at the library and it was fantastic! Lots of twists and turns, great dialogue and acting, you’re sure to love it.
I wouldn’t call them ullage. These people are the dregs:
