Word For The Day, Monday, 8/31/15
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".
soporific; adj.
1.Causing sleep; tending to cause sleep. 2.Of, relating to, or characterized by sleepiness or lethargy. 3.A medicine, drug, plant, or other agent that has the quality of inducing sleep
Etymology: "tending to produce sleep," 1680s, from French soporifique (17c.), formed in French from Latin sopor (genitive soporis) "deep sleep" (see sopor ). As a noun from 1722. Earlier as an adjective was soporiferous (1580s as "characterized by excessive sleep," c.1600 as "soporific").
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.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Jeb isn’t going to get the nomination - he’s too far down. But again, I would vote for him over a dem or over sitting out. Even a barely there republican is better than an all in liberal.
And if we could get someone to explain to the libs that adding all the illegals to the handout lines would CUT their benefits, perhaps some of them would suddenly realize we have to stop the illegal invasion. We are getting hammered down here with our schools being overrun.
Am I missing something here? Hitlery claims she never received any emails marked classified....then says she only had one email account...so did she lie or did she not receive her work emails?
All true.
Too bad the circus clown joined the race and torpedoed our chances of winning in 2016.
She’s lying. What else is new?
I don’t know - I agree he is an embarrassment but he is willing to say things that no one else will say. He isn’t a politician - and we are sick of mamby-pamby politicians.
And her idiot supporters never question anything
Bit earlier down here (NE GA, outside ATL) - St Ronnie started her pre-school setup week of July 27-July 31, then the students began the first Monday in August.
“Labor Day” starting date? Been in class five weeks by then!
saw that and that was funny, that stuff needs to be said and he’s the only one who can say it. A+++
A+++ weirdo ; )
lol.
Which republican had a chance of winning, in your opinion, before Trump came along?
It would have been nice to have found out. I think Walker, Rubio, Bush all had realistic shots. Maybe Carly, too. Or Cruz.
We’ll never know now cause of the circus that came to town.
they are a trip, that’s for sure.
It is what it is. (Thanks to Megyn). I will support Trump if it comes to it. Still dreaming Cruz, though.
I think our schools started last Monday....the traffic is insane at 3:10 in our neighborhood - only one road leads in and out (several streets off that road) but if you are heading north you must (somehow) merge with angry moms who have just picked up frustrated children..... it isn’t pretty. As a whole, our neighborhood LOVES summer because we can leave our neighborhood without packing a meal... ;^)
That is funny
Put that Tahoe into 4WD and cut through the back yards!
