Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Here is my example with WFTD.

The liberals may feign ennui over the Middle East crisis, but here at home we have an internal debate that won't go away.

I have no idea what happened to the pronunciation guide in the post.
Today's WFTD is pronounced on'-yoo-ee.

My mil's ennui is taking away from my FReeping and keeping up with the MidEast news. ;-)

Had to bury a cat last night. I told the crazy cat lady next door that if her cats came into my yard, this might happen. Dogs will be dogs.

When I use the word ennui in a sentence I usually pronounce it so it sounds like on - wee. (On rhymes with John, wee is pronounced like wee.)

Unaware taxpayers may find the big $15 BILLION hole in the middle of downtown Boston to be pure ennui; Jeff Jacoby at the Boston Globe does not....

I didn't leave a very generous tip for the snooty waiter named Ennui at the french restaurant.

We can all pray for Shrillery to come down with terminal ennui regarding running for The White House . . .

But it would take a 'parting-of-the-Red-Sea-level' miracle.

Perhaps we could pray that her chronic ennui toward heterosexual sex be broadly outted.

Some might consider her attitude toward patriotism regarding The Republic of her birth to be terminal ennui. But that would be a gross distortion. On that score, she has terminal treasonous revulsion.

Actually, another area of Shrillery ennui would be regarding children and the little people. She really can't be bothered unless she can con votes out of lying about such.

The recent news has been so lousy, it makes me wish for the good old days of ennui.

I'm still unable to figure out how to pronounce this masquerade of a word.

I heard on the (radio) news that Colin Powell has emerged from his retirement ennui to condemn Israel for a disproportionate and excessive response to Hezbollah. We are fortunate he has retired.

The response of the Clinton Administration to Islamist terrorism was characterized by ennui, neglect and non-feasance.

It must be the ennui of the modern world that turns the heart of a socialistic shoe salesman towards admiration for the nihilistic cult of the suicide bomber.

Or in otherwords, Spanish PM Zapatero wearing the Pallie scarf in the summer.

ennui That's French!

I've been trying to learn a few handy phrases for my business trip to Quebec next month. Rick Steves has put out an interesting little guide with "help for women" in the back.

I have learned to say, "Drop dead," "go away,"I am married," "I have a contagious illness" and "I am a lesbian."

(Kinda sucks all the fun out of travel, doesn't it.)

A long Word For The Day thread I see,
It must not be filled with ennui,
But reading I'll shirk,
For I had to work,
I'll try to make post 203.
