Word For The Day, 11/30/02

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”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of 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....

Today is going to a bit different here at WFTD. I call it "the ultimate review". I have linked the WFTD from everyday since September. Students will be required to submit homework that uses a MINIMUM of 3 words from previous WFTD's. The more words you use in your homework, the better your grade. Extra credit will be given to those who submit examples, in the form of links to outside web sites, photos, or other images, along with their homework. Extra credit will also be given to our more poetically inclined students. Hand in your homework in the form of a poem, and your grade will go up.

I will be strict about grading today, so, hand in homework only using the minimum of 3 words, and you will get a minimum effort grade of a C. Failure to turn in homework will result in a meeting with principal JimRob.

Students who have many absences over the past few weeks might want to use this day to improve their overall grades.

You may use any of the forms (noun, adjective, etc.) given that day. I am only listing the first form.

The bibulous dilettante assiduously and ineluctably slid his Brobdingnagian trammel into the lubricious circumambient (formerly moribund and nugatory) cynosure, rendering it more dilatory and coruscating, causing stentorian cries of ebullience and vituperation. She thought atrabiliously, "In this fashion I won't get invidious revanche on this jejune goof by promulgating a new homo sapiens, and it's good this for him I'm too munificent and eleemosynary to call insouciantly the raffish constabulary!"

I'd use more words but my arm hurts. And if I post a link JimRob will a) get sued by a porn thread and b) ban us all for eternity.

You're welcome.

As Rush always says the Left is funny when it is out of power. Surely November 5 is the day they became invidious of us as we enervated those RATS at the polls.

Now they show their ignominousity through name calling, and vulgar slurs regarding the honorable Senator-elect from Minnesota Norm Coleman

Minnesota
Land of ten thousand lakes
Ten thousand taxes
And ten thousand Sore Losermans

But hey atleast we don't have Fritz Mondale to kick around anymore. It was nice to see the old boy come out of retirement for one last whoopin'

[NeoCaveman]

Dang Argh, you might have just killed the curve with that piece of scholarly work.

[Argh]

Thanks, but I don't have enough guts to post appropriate pictures or links, so the curve might not be that far out of whack, if you'll pardon the expression.

Roses are raffish
Violets are ebullient
Sugar is precocious
And lubricious nugatory slue.

Homework:

The bibulous dilettante assiduously and ineluctably slid his Brobdingnagian trammel into the lubricious circumambient (formerly moribund and nugatory) cynosure, rendering it more dilatory and coruscating, causing stentorian cries of ebullience and vituperation. She thought atrabiliously, "In this fashion I won't get invidious revanche on this jejune goof by promulgating a new homo sapiens, and it's good this for him I'm too munificent and eleemosynary to call insouciantly the raffish constabulary!"

(Wonders why Arghie used the same sentence ...)

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]
