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....
Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.
CHARNAL Noun
Pronunciation: Charn/el
Etymology: I don’t know. I can’t read the danged thing.
1) (obs) Cemetary
(2) (a)“Charnal House” A building, chamber or other area in which bodies and bones are deposited. (b) A mortuary chapel.
Vastie, this word was in the new Frankenstein book by Koontz. I had never heard it before. I think it describes where the dems are now since President Bush did his recess appointment!

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
RULES: You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.
If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.

Who's co?
Steroids (prednizone, cortizone) are good when you need them to heal, not when you need them to bulk up.

Told you it was garish.
Kind of describes how I would feel if I were a liberal, though. I had it written down from reading it last night, so it was quick. Didn't have to peruse the dictionary.

There are so many players missing or on the disabled list this year, I wonder if Conseco (the hated one) told the truth.
D-Backs are tied for first place in the National League West. Yippieeeeee!
