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 for 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....
". . . from ra, anger. . ."
I thought ra, ra, ra was an invigorating tone, especially if you're winning, i.e., Diamondbacks and Suns. Hehehehehehe!
i love to be cold when i sleep. i like covers! so it is a/c AND the overhead fan. as xshub says, what's with the gale force winds in here....
Same here.......
Same here, except I kick all the covers off at night.
Did someone call for Gail Weathers?
Don't put me on the shelf!
not me,i am snuggled in but GOOD.. ; )
OMG that's my radio station! i totally missed that. i really LIKE elliott! A+++ that is horrible though.
You Da Man!
That's worse than the Sam Adams stunt in NYC..........
What an Adam Henry. I like this much better.

Call me irresponsible - call me unreliable
Throw in undependable too
Do my foolish alibis bore you
Well I'm not too clever - I just adore you
Call me unpredictable - tell me I'm impractical
Rainbows I'm inclined to pursue
Call me irresponsible - yes I'm unreliable
But it's undeniably true - I'm irresponsibly mad for you
i have to tell you though, i didn't hear that segment on the abortion contest, i heard a follow up call later in the week and elliot's reaction to the caller was disgust. i am wondering if the article describing it is a bit overstated, as someone on that thread agreed, who had heard it. i listen to the guy every day on the way in. He has a 14mo old child, his cohost, diane, just gave birth this past February. They were DECENT about Bush this past election season. not left wing at all. They have Shep Smith, rick leventhal, ollie north etc. call in routinely in the AM to discuss issues. This is not a case of Opie and Anthony, or the Greaseman at all. i feel i know this guy a little bit and he is not like that.
It was 111 degrees here yesterday. If I could, I'd take Cyber and me into the refrigerator to sleep. Then we could really cuddle. Standing up might be a problem, though, frozen feetsies are not condusive to -- well, you know.
(btw, Arghh took the ribbing he received in your absence with much good grace - nary a trace of irascibility !)
i think i know what you mean, i didn't wait for the image to load, but i saw the thread. what was it a pic of? A++ by the way.
where and why was arghy being ribbed?
I dunno what the pic was, but doubt it was anything good.
However, w/some simple math based on what NaughtiNurse told me the dimensions of the thing were,
and based on a relatively standard 24 bits/pixel, it woulda been about 3.75 Gb !
