Word For The Day, Monday, 11/24/14
;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".
propinquity; noun
1. nearness in place; proximity. 2. nearness of relation; kinship. 3. affinity of nature; similarity.4. nearness in time
Etymology: 1350-1400; Middle English propinquite < Latin propinquitās nearness, equivalent to propinqu (us) near ( prop (e) near (see pro-1) + -inquus adj. suffix) + -itās -ity
Examples from the web for pro-pin-qui-ty: Residents tolerate--even welcome--human propinquity. We have no idea what makes them friends other than their social propinquity. Their propinquity is a corroborating point, as is the quotation from the trial transcript.
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....
What do you expect to get out of this class, since you’ve done it before?
If you get the urge to push, blow into your cheek. (Oops! Wrong class!)
a structured setting to work with him. we are not disciplined about doing it at home, so it is a way to make sure we work on training him. plus he will get socialization with other puppies in the class. we have done it with each dog. I just talked to the vet bc I think he’s still got the worm issue going on. he’s biting at his behind. and she wants me to collect a urine specimen on him as well since he is peeing in the house like every 15 min. she wants to rule out bladder infection. he is doing ok as far as pooping outside but the peeing is just insane. I have tried every suggestion I have seen.
I swear I do not recall taking a Lamaze class, maybe I did before the first? but she was C section, and I had epidurals with the other two.
A+++ glad you had a nice birthday gift for each other! who is Sara?
Sara Watkins, vocalist, violinist, and ukelele player extraordinaire. She was in Nickel Creek. The show will be played on NPR and I highly recommend it to everyone.
BTW, Hagel must have parked in Valjar’s spot.
If you sense some propinquity between Saul Alinsky and Barack Obama, it is not imagined.
And, if you were joining the Mile high Club in that small airplane with your investment lawyer, you’d be propinequity.
no that is pretty blatant! A+++
why is she reaming him in some way? I have been out of the news loop for a few days. She is a [n][unelected] force to be reckoned with.
The haters will never believe this.
Actually I thought that was a pretty funny comment....
I agree what is the point. $$?
it’s just the way this woman does the class, I was told by the vet. The previous trainer, who I had for the others prior to Jules, died of breast cancer, unforch. So this is the way this woman runs it, I guess.
So is your area going to be warming up this week as well? I saw a headline(haven’t read it yet) about evacuations in Buffalo due to possible flooding?
Obama's propinquity to this group & those similar stems from the fact that they're essentially RED ...
lovelies, ain’t they? A+++
I was out this morning in short sleeves. It is beautiful an sunny here, a bit of a breeze.
