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".

approbation, demotic, sinecure

"approbation" - approval;

"demotic" - popular or common language or people;

"sinecure" - a position of value (especially monetary) with little responsibility.

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.

This should be fun. As promised here are 3 words to be used in a sentence. Here's my effort: Demotic approbation has given Obama a sinecure of extreme privilege. Coffee time.

[Louis Foxwell]

I was electronically incapacitated yesterday. Thanks to tioga for taking over the Friday Word for the Day. To make it up I am offering these 3 words for today, Saturday. Enjoy.

Good to have you back, Lou!

Hillary hoped to win approbation
from the black community by her demotic
chanting of an old spiritual,
in order to secure a sinecure,
but she just sounded TARD.

[Louis Foxwell]

TARD indeed. Amazing how one set of glasses with rosy tinted progressive lenses can see genius while looking through plain window glass one sees only idiocy. Good to be back. Here's your award:

[MeshugeMikey]

Just because the young brother was on approbation there aint no REASON he should be treated as a demotic, i am completly sinecure about this, Much

[afraidfortherepublic]

Obama thinks the White House is his sinecure. Unfortunately, this haughty attitude receives unwavering approbation from a segment of our population whose language and thought processes is often demotic to the rest of us. (ebonics)

[Louis Foxwell]

Your outlandish post is most worthy of the lipstick award. With great approbation you are hereby awarded:

[Louis Foxwell]

Yea, verily. You have nailed it.

[MeshugeMikey]

when words fail...

[Ditter]

I was electronically incapacitated on Wednesday. Do you think there is something going around?

[Louis Foxwell]

Well... Yes... All true. You have captured the soul of the matter.

[MeshugeMikey]

thank you sinecurely!!

[Louis Foxwell]

I am certain something is going around, and around, and around....

[Louis Foxwell]

Oh tosh. Your award is SO earned.

[afraidfortherepublic]

What a pretty medal. I never thought I’d like to be #2, but you’ve hit a home run with my award.

[rarestia]

It is with much approbation that I cede my sinecure to the good people of this thread lest I find myself in violation of the demotic generators thereof.

FYI for my Roman Catholic friends.

[Louis Foxwell]

OH! This thread has a tendency to become obtuse.Thanks for your generous offer, I think. You will, nevertheless, be awarded today's third tier, with much gratitude:

It wasn’t raining this AM, so we managed to catch up on a customer’s little Florida room...

Obama acts as if sinecure
Is what his job is about-
Criticize his work habits
And he responds with a pout

The demotic he appeals to-
Mostly entitled and lazy
That give him approbation
Most of us think are crazy

Only in the political world
Can some dumbass you hired
Steal money from the company
Without promptly being fired...

[Texan5]

Thanks for the article SG-I pray that pope communist-by-proxy is criticized at every wrong turn and shown the door like his predecessors who were too involved in the secular world.
