Word For The Day, Monday 12/29/02 Semester Final
The Verbivores | 12/29/02

Posted on 12/30/2002 12:19:38 AM PST by Bella_Bru

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....


Final Exam

As promised, today we will be having the final exam of the semester. Below I have linked 40 past WFTD’s. The exam is simple. You must use 5 of the words, in however many sentences you like, that somehow relate to the news. The minimum is 5, and for using the minimum, you will get an “average” grade of a C. Use more, your grade goes up. Use less, it goes down. Fail to turn in your exam, and I will submit your name to Principal Rob for a “counseling” session.

Here we go:
1. farrago
2. abditive
3. indolent
4. froward
5. ken
6. risible
7. hariolate
8. anhedonia
9. retronym
10. calumny
11.
prepone
12. pedantic
13. incommode
14. paregmenon
15. operose
16. tergiversate
17. qua
18. bilbulous
19. anhedonia
20. brio
21. peripatetic
22. reboant
23. coquette
24. ukase
25. atrabilious
26. dilettante
27. promulgate
28. desuetude
29. salacious
30. munificent
31. ignominy
32. vituperate
33. cynosure
34. atelier
35. insouciant
36. encomium
37. flaccid
38. sapient
39. footle
40. sedulous

Gentleman, I suggest you two sit on opposite sides of the classroom today. I don't want to see two identical exams turned in.

The peripatetic coquette (who shall remain innominate [Miss Whyisa]) deftly extracted the lothario's risible, abditive farrago.

"Wow, that's quite anhedonia!", she mispronounced. "It's no calumny to say that I sapiently hariolate that with a little froward, operose brio and sedulity you could salaciously incommode my munificent desuetude sufficiently to cure my atrabilious cynosure of its anhedonia!"

Sheesh! I insomniacly left out some. What a putz. Corrected exam paper:

The peripatetic coquette (who shall remain innominate [Miss Whyisa]) deftly extracted the lothario's risible, abditive farrago.

"Wow, that's quite anhedonia!", she reboantly mispronounced.

"It's no calumny to say that I sapiently hariolate that with a little froward, operose brio and sedulity you could salaciously incommode my munificent desuetude sufficiently to cure my atrabilious cynosure of its anhedonia!", she ejaculated, getting "anhedonia" right this time.

Although it is an insouciant take on the plight of Cardinal Law and Trent Lott, Larry Miller is spot on (and hilarious) in his observations. Cardinal Law's tergiversation is beyond question. When the calumny heaped upon him became more incommodious than he could bear, he bowed out. Not out of any sense of honor. Larry Miller rightfully vituperates Cardinal Law for his abditive shenanigans with respect to the abuse.

As to Lott, Miller risibly refers to the Senator as "knucklehead". No one ever accused Trent Lott of being sapient but still, the thought of Lott wearing a sign saying knucklehead elicits much mirth.

This coquette wishes her fellow students a bibulous and salacious New Year and all the footle that that they can handle ; )

Mornin' ma'am. I'm still responding to nasty FReepmail and posts from the "Orlando Bloom isn't gay" crowd.

The indolent farrago in the Middle East has incommoded this operose taxpayer (me) to promulgate a request that the Bush Administration prepone the attack on Iraq.

Ha, six in one sentence, xs. Beat that.

He would have turned into a fairy missile before that.
