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”.

Obloquy

Noun, pl. obloquies

    1. Abusively detractive language or utterance; calumny: "I have had enough obloquy for one lifetime" (Anthony Eden).
    2. The condition of disgrace suffered as a result of abuse or vilification; ill repute.


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....

%%
Come here sister ... Mama’s in the swing
She ain’t all hip ... about that new breed babe
She ain’t in drag-
Mama’s gotta brand new bangs
%%

Obama attends church services and is tweeting about himself? (shaking head in disbelief) Glad my TV has been OFF all day.

Everyone else is there to worship him, but Obama must get pretty bored there.

Yes, I did see it. Come back again some time in the fall. I went to watch a game once near the SFO airport at a Steeler bar.

65 and sunny today-

I’m guessing it is likely best
To ignore the further obloquy,
And the howling worshippers
Of all things labeled “free”

As blasphemous buyers of posters
Depicting Obama as a saviour
Drink his koolaid by the quart
To fuel their outrageous behavior

And if these verses seem to paint
A vision in shades of Winter gray
It is because many have little hope
And Spring seems forever far away

Sorry about that-I suppose should have stayed in the woods for the rest of the day...

It’s just another dreary, snowy day up here in the anti-gun frozen tundra of NY lib land. Your pome fits the weather and the day. A+++

Thank you-it fits my mood. I was rude to a porker at the general store who had an Obama sticker on her SUV. She used a lonestar card to get frozen pizzas, sugary cereal, ice cream and other nutritionally challenged food, then while the clerk gave her a venomous stare, she waddled out the door and dropped a bunch of crap while opening her vehicle hatch.

I sashayed past, smirked and made loud piggy noises, which I’m very good at. I know, I’m horrid and uncharitable...

That’s like food stamps, right? You are making me laugh, but, yes, it’s uncharitable...but I needed a laugh today.

I am still laughing. I must be uncharitable, too.

I’ve been doing that ever since I saw one of those welfare sows buying big, fresh shrimp with food stamps when I was young, broke and squeezing pennies to feed my husband and kid in the early Carter years-been doing it every time I see an Orca with a lonestar card since then......

"pie hole"

"Stuffing her pie whole" works also. We get the picture.

“I don’t know about the pie. It tastes kinda metallic.”

“Try taking it out of the pie pan next time.”
