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. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
vainglorious; adjective:
vaingloriously; adverb
1. adj. Characterized by or exhibiting excessive vanity; boastful. Proceeding from vainglory.
Today's word is offered up in (dis)honor of last night's Academy Awards....
Etymology: I have no idea.
Good Morning Students. Welcome to class!
Class is now in session. The rules are simple; you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the [substitute] teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book; the whip and chair - although only temporarily.
Happy MONDAY!
TOPICS: Word For The Day
KEYWORDS: academyawards; buffoons; hollyweird; lefties; nitwits; oscars; pompous; selfabsorbed

OK, have at it. No whining. The complaint department is closed. Substitute teachers are NOT required to put up with that crapola.

Good Morning!
Did anyone else see this? Setting Straight Kerry’s War Record . It seems Senator Kerry served in Viet Nam. Did you know that?
His vaingorious efforts appear to have served him well, so far. I only hope he gets what he really deserves.

I don't wish to seem too vainglorious
But my sex-life is always uproarious
Though I'm doing my best
All the women protest
'Cause I can't seem to find the clitorious
To: xsmommy

To: TheGrimReaper

"Etymology -- I have no idea."
from Latin vâna gloria, empty pride.
The way we used to think of meaningless "self-esteem."
