Merriam-Webster | 11/14/2006 | Slip 18

Tuesday November 14, 2006, SLOW-FOOTED

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....


Subbie Slip has her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs today. Tomorrow I’m bringing in chains, so beware.

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.

SLOW-FOOTED

Function: adjective
Pronuciation: Sloe/’foot/ed
Etymology: None

1: moving at a very slow pace : PLODDING - slow-foot·ed·ness noun

This is me this morning. Try and take it easy, or I’ll beat you!

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School! Yes, we’re all here. No lumpen today.

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.

Subbie’s going back to sleep for at least an hour, but wanted all of you to get a head start. Be good. Principal Robinson is walking around this morning.

Good morning, Class. Be very nice to the subbie today or you'll be in the basement with the NEW janitor.

One of my best online friends will be slow-footed for a while as she recovers from surgery. Get well soon!

Morning!

The slow-footed UN idiots
Prove to us once again
What a feckless bunch they are
With yet another plan

To bring everyone together
To embrace the muslim slime
And by trying to make Israel
Accept them one more time

I think it will be Israel
Who has the eventual solution-
Of shutting down the jihad wackos
With a draconian revolution

I'm here in class and making out invoices at the same time so I can take off early and go by the commissary since I'm working near the AFB today...

Maybe I'm being a little slow-footed today, but I thought the WFTD was to be "jagoff", in honor of those who remember obscure words previously defined...?

Hey, have you seen me on the jogging trail or is it just a coincidence that our WFTD is slow-footed today? ;)

each sub is in charge of their respective WFTD, slippy was AWOL yesterday and didn't follow our conversation with respect to the word JAGOFF. and in typical jagoff fashion, you are attempting to control the curriculum which is not within your purview. : )

Thank heaven out here the voters got tired of the RINOs-in the primaries, our ineffectual incumbent republican county commissioner got trounced by his more conservative (and more vocal) challenger. Then that challenger ran on what amounts to a ticket of property tax revolution against the democrat candidate. The 'rat candidate was really a RINO who knew he could not win the primary, and so ran unchallenged as a 'rat-and got kicked to to the curb by the republican. The RINO/'rat ran on a promise to ask for grants to install sewage and water systems out here in the middle of nowhere where everyone already has a septic system and water well or lives in a subdivision that provides water and sewage systems-he made it sound like this was some f'ing third world colonia instead of an established commuter community...

First? Top Ten?

Some times, the slow-footed have been sloe-ginned first.

A sloe or blackthorn

FWIW - Sloe gin is an infusion and not a distillation process. The slight almond-like flavor of the berries is extracted by soaking them in gin mixed with a little sugar.

The chef is here. Good eats for everyone.

With apologies to the Pointer Sisters:


As the midnight moon, was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes, lookin' into mine
Seeing what you wanted to see
Darlin' don't say a word, cause I already heard
What your body's sayin' to mine
I'm tired of fast moves
I've got a slow groove...
On my mind

I want a man with a slow foot
I want a lover with an easy touch
I want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I want somebody who will understand
When it comes to love, I want a slow foot

On shadowed ground, with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
We are drifting free, like two lost leaves
On the crazy wind of the night
Darlin', don't say a word, 'cause I already heard
What your body's sayin' to mine

If I want it all night
You say it's alright
We got the time

'Cause I got a man with a slow foot
I got a lover with an easy touch
I found somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I found somebody who will understand
When it comes to love, I want a slow foot

If I want it all night
Please say it's alright
It's not a fast move
But a slow groove
On my mind

'Cause I got a man with a slow foot
I got a lover with an easy touch
I found somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
I found somebody who will understand
When it comes to love, I want a slow foot

Oh, our incumbent repub sheriff won over a write-in repub and a RINO who also ran as a 'rat because he knew he'd get trashed in the primaries by any other repubs. I just hope the incumbent sheriff keeps more careful track of what his troops are doing so there are no more orgies on his watch...
