Word For The Day, Tuesday May 31, 2016
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".
fard [fahrd]
-n
1. facial cosmetics.
-vt
2. to apply cosmetics to (the face).
[1400-50; late Middle English < Middle French, Old French: noun derivative of farder to apply makeup, probably < Old Low Franconian *farwiđon to dye, color (compare Old High German farwjan, German färben)]
Legend has it that Rush Limbaugh once did an entire segment with outraged callers because he was talking about how in traffic you can always see women “farding” in their cars.
As in, who farded?
Good game last night.
Hillary’s countenance is hard
Despite applications of fard
Applied with a trowel
She should throw in the towel
And accept she’s a barrel of lard
It wasn’t a “legend”. I heard it when it happened, and he has repeated the riff in a couple of shorter segments. He starts it with a comment about how women drivers are a danger to traffic because they fard in their cars while driving to work in the mornings. When asked how he knows that they are farding, he says you can see them wrinkle their noses, shift in their seats, and take their eyes off the road. It’s quite hilarious.
I remember that segment. LOL
They made it close, but the ending was nice. The Pens haven’t done so hot in Game Ones so it’s nice to see.
But its fard to stop a train.
(It’s fard to stop a strain ?)

Hillary likes to fard
And play her woman card
It’s a bit cheesy
but quite easy
to put lipstick on a tub of lard.
Sorry, Truthie....I sort of stole your concept.
Truth
Isn’t that how Trump would sound if he tried to affect a Suthrin accent, a’la Hillary?
Hillary is farding this by dressing it up as “progressive.” (My reply to that post.)

Hillary tries to look unconcerned
That Bernie is pressing her hard-
So she creates her mask-like face
With a putty knife and some fard
The result looks like papermache
Expressionless-and what is more-
Like a cosmetic counter blew up
In her face at a department store
This isn’t just lipstick on a pig-
It’s mascara, blush and worse-
Don’t you wonder if Hillary has
A bottle of solvent in her purse?
I’m all for that-and let each state do their own thing their own way-see who gets along with whom, and rethink the future of the present relationship...
It is like waterworld here-I met one of the guys at the jobsite, tied down the tarps on everything-it only took 45 minutes, but it was raining when we left, and both bridges I have to cross to get home the short way were flooded already-I had to backtrack and get home from the opposite end of the road-3 miles longer-but the roads in the neighborhood 4 miles northwest of here are so flooded that people are having to drive 12-15 miles further to get in and out the longer way. The river is almost at flood level and I can hear the noise of the rapids rushing the minute I step outside-the river is 100’s of feet away, but I still don’t like this...
Good luck. I hate floods....my house floated away in one. I live on top of a hill now.
