It's on. I always try to guess who or how the word will be used, but you always surprise me. Good luck.

Tom Brady and the NE Patriots have had great success with Belichick, but that just makes Roger Goodell more bellicose.

The Donald, campaigning, seems bellicose
He misses having a New York deli close
He craves his pastrami
With Kosher salami
And chopped liver for his daily dose

Bernie Sanders, in front of a mike, looks anything but bellicose.

Growing up, we had a “violence room” in our basement for roughhouse play. It wasn’t a bad idea for us three bellicose young lads.

That was out name, not my parents, in case anyone would call DCF retroactively.

More like Comatose, morose and on a heavy dose.

There is a distinct absence of bellicosity from the Clinton camp since she was forced to turn her server over to the FBI. The question remains: will they actually do something about it?

My company has a repair shop in Tianjin, China, where the explosion was. No one was injured, but they suffered damage to some doors and windows.

They are about 4 miles away from the explosion.

Tioga, I’m surprised at you.
That grading criteria used to be FR’s worst kept secret!

Though Barak H. Obama may boast
The Iran nuclear deal is certainly close
To the biggest mistake
Any president could make
Just listen to the Ayatollah’s words so bellicose.

"Si vis pacem, para bellum"

I am not bellicose, I'm simply getting ready for peace.

Well, yeah, but my point was rather that that was pretty far away to be damaged. Big explosion.
