Word For The Day, Monday, 6/11/12
;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".
faineant; adj.Howjoosaythat?
idle; indolent.
Etymology:1610s (n.), from Fr. fainéant (16c.) do-nothing, from fait, third person singular present tense of faire + néant nothing (cf. dolce far niente). As an adj., from 1855.
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....
yeah i did, twitter and Words with Friends were all i had to keep me entertained on the 6 hour drive back from OHIGHA. that is during periods when i had a dog-free lap. jules and chan fought over who could sit in my lap in the front seat. and in HS, xsteen learned a lesson that you have to blend the sunscreen or you will have a spotty burn just by spraying it on.
Soother has pretty much admitted he has no standards when it comes to women OR tv shows... ; )
That’s not the point. I don’t believe you are supposed to spray it directly onto your face.
Unless things have changed, it tells you to spray it on your hands and then apply it to your face.
Not inhaling aerosol fumes and whatever chemicals are in it, or getting it into your eyes is the idea.
Only girls that wont sleep with me can be considered stupid. 
...smartypants....
I have excellent taste in TV and movies. I may watch some junk, but if I’m talking about it it’s because it is good/interesting/unique.
We are back from our visit to Trumbull County, OH. Blessed Sacrament was the happiest of slaps at 9 am Mass. For one thing, the bulletin had contact info in it for anyone wanting to go and protest the EXECUTION of whatever scum bag that OH is going to off in the near future. Secondly, they do NOT KNEEL at all in that place. they took the kneelers out of the front part, and while we had kneelers where we were sitting, NO ONE KNEELED. holy crap, isn’t that one of the outward manifestations that distinguishes us from the Protestants? xsjr said, i don’t care, i’m kneeling, and so she knelt. we had talked about going to whatever the conservative church is in Vienna, instead, but then i said we have no chapel veils with us and both xsjr and i had white jeans and sleeveless tops that we brought to wear to Mass and if it’s anything like St Anthanasius here in McLean, i know that would not be appropriate.
Then we met my bro and family at the Bob Evans for brunch. Xshub leans over to my bro and says “that guy has a TEAMSTERS tshirt on...” and my bro looks at him, like, yeah, so? they are so inured to it being union goon territory that they got a kick out of our wide-eyed staring. the back of the Teamsters shirt said HOFFA HALL on it even. Plethora of American made cars, and many many BARS. that was an account of our field trip to OHIGHA : )
Your family had never seen a union t-shirt before? Really?
Did you buy any fireworks while you were there? Their laws are quite liberal on this subject.
well at least you don’t pretend to have standards in re;women...
you do occasionally get out of the provinces and notice that things are different elsewhere from your provincial shire? well same goes for us. it’s not that we haven’t seen it before, it’s just damn rare. VA is a right to work state, union goonage is not on display.
and i think fireworks are beyond stupid, so no, we did not buy any! plus we have them here in spades for anyone who is interested.
It’s all daydreaming, so I see no need to be too concerned beyond surface features.
my IQ dropped just looking at the little smiley faces in your dang post!
Not everyone in a union is a goon, of course. Especially in closed shop states.
I would have thought you had seen the occasional SEIU or AFSCME people down there.
That’s ok, you’re still at least a 10.
Oh and wait, are you saying I'm feminazi for saying men shouldn't be expected to stay in touch with an old girlfriend's kids???? Isn't that the opposite of feminazi?
So, like Jimmy Carter, you are lusting in your heart?
We had an interesting neighbor when we lived in PA. He was an electrician but conservative and not at all supportive of unions. He lost his job and was out of work for a couple of months and eventually hired but had to join a union. Within months he became the biggest puke liberal - believing George Bush was going to draft his pampered idiot son and screeched at me that his son was not going to fight for GWBush! This from a guy who was a rabid Dallas Cowboy fan in Eagle territory...but since I was from Texas and a conservative, I represented GWB. Did I mention I never liked him, even before he turned into a union thug?
it’s far less noticeable here and it usually just a bumpersticker at best. i guess you just can’t envision the glaring difference bc it’s what you are accustomed to seeing and you don’t venture too far afield other than work trips and the occasional beach trip/7 Springs [which is not really all that different]. Xshub is from New Hartford, NY and he kept commenting on how Warren OH looked exactly like New Hartford in many ways. You see white suburban teenagers manning fastfood drive-thrus, big huge carwashes where you can wash the car yourself etc. Yes, i know, that is de rigueur where you live, it’s not like that in suburban VA.
Someone has flipped Whyisa’s feisty switch to the ON position today! LMAO! you haven’t been fired up in awhile, but you are in fine form this AM! i love it!
We only see white kids working at Chik Fil A - rarely at any other fast food joints.

Haven’t you been wondering to yourself “Can they use the latest TSA body scanning technology to help me find the right pair of pants?”
Yes, they can.
