Word For The Day, Friday, 6/3/05
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".
exigency; n
1. The state or quality of requiring much effort or immediate action. 2. A pressing or urgent situation. See Synonyms at crisis. 3. Urgent requirements; pressing needs. Often used in the plural.
concupiscence; n
A strong desire, especially sexual desire; lust
Entymology:Middle English, from Old French, from Late Latin concupscentia, from Latin concupscns, concupscent- present participle of concupscere inchoative of concupere, to desire strongly : com-, intensive pref.; see com- + cupere, to desire.]
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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
I think the Jackson family would be wise to prepare for major medical exigencies, should the jury find the freak accountable for his pedophiliac concupiscence.

Morning!!!!!!!!!!!
VASOLINE Stone Temple Pilots
One time a thing occured to me What’s real, and what’s for sale?
Blew a kiss and tried to take it home
It isn’t you, isn’t me
Search for things that you can’t see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vaseline
Two times and it has rendered me
Punch drunk and without bail
Think I’d be safer all alone
Flys in the vasoline we are
Sometimes it blows my mind
Keep getting stuck here all the time
You’ll see the look and you’ll see the lies
You’ll eat the lies, and you will.
It isn’t you, isn’t me
Search for things that you can’t see
Going blind, out of reach
Somewhere in the vasoline.
morning. rainy by you?
!
Is it raining out your way, too? I'm here for a couple of minutes while I print a bid-
Fox and Friends were laughing this morning
At screaming Howard's demented rant
The 'rat party hasn't silenced him-
Is it possible that they can't?
Have the exigencies of his ego
Become his only motivation?
Every time he escapes his handlers
He creates a bigger sensation
Is this his own concupiscence-
This need to voice his hate
And show everyone that reality
Has no place in his mental state?
That song is fitting-do you think the pervert is going to do time, or at least be committed to a mental institution for awhile? I'd personally like him have to be registered as a sex offender...
It is sprinkling here, but is is supposed to be sunny later today-I'll believe that when it happens...
Yes it is - has totally ruined all of our plans for the day...........grumble, grumble
It appears that many WFTD students had a late night and are sleeping in...
A+++ let the Deanic roam far and wide on behalf of the Dems....
i didn't follow the case closely, i think it is impossible to tell what will happen. people were wrong about the Peterson case, so who knows. i want him locked up.
Aren't they the lucky ones!!!!!!!!!
Having wacko Jacko locked up would be a lovely thing indeed-I wonder how long he will be among the living if that happens-serial killers and child molesters do not seem to fare well in the prison population...
it could be we are just letting you ladies think you are alone and then allowing nature to take its course
"nature to take its course"
So that means you know that xs is going to mark you down as being tardy for class?
Do I detect a theme in today's words?
Good Morning!
It has stopped sprinkling, but that won't last long-I'm going to use the lull in the rain to drive to my jobsite-back later...
ouch!
