Word for the Day, Wednesday, June 3, 2015 - Jejune
FRee Dictionary ^ | Wednesday | tioga

Posted on 06/03/2015 6:01:18 AM PDT by tioga


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”.

Jejune

Adjective

    1. Not interesting; dull: "and there pour forth jejune words and useless empty phrases" (Anthony Trollope).
    2. Lacking maturity; childish: surprised by their jejune responses to our problems.
    3. Lacking in nutrition: a jejune diet.


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....

Josh Earnest sings the White House tune
While reporters try to decipher his runes
La la la
bla bla bla
He hides the lies in fancy speech that’s jejune
