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".
ABIOSIS [ab ee OH sis, ay bye-]
noun Abiosis Is the absence of life; the related adjective abiotic describes any state or condition marked by absence of life.
The moon is said to be abiotic.
Abiosis is formed from the Greek prefix a- (the "alpha privative", indicating negation, as in apolitical, asymetrical, asexual) plus bio- (the Greek prefix meaning "life," as in biography, biology -- bios is the Greek word for life) plus -sis (the Greek suffix used to form nouns denoting state or condition, as in paralysis, perstalsis, stasis).
The condition of Pompeii and Herculaneum after the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79 was one of complete destruction of life resulting in abiosis.
The Walking Dead, a condition brought on by the utter failure of Progressive politics has left its followers in a zombie-like state of abiosis.
I know. Sad.
Good point. Even then, I wonder....
Progressives need to figure out that Trump is their buffer. If they manage to remove him they will suffer the fires of hell.
Yep. Thassright!
The abbetoir, PP, is the perfection of evil.
I wonder too, particularly about how long I will remain correct even if I am right.
Democrats seem to be in stasis-
An abiosis of a temporary kind
Either wandering around staring
Or acting just out of their mind
By throwing screaming tantrums
That are just difficult to ignore-
And so out of control you expect
Next they’ll just fall to the floor
Has Hillary stolen their reason
As well as taking every soul-
Punishment because she’s not
The queen and in total control...
You are a highly skilled poet. This is a remarkable piece.
Thank you! The word just reminded me of the liberals’ mindless, hysterical behavior-anything sets them off...
