Word For The Day, Tuesday, April 14, 2009
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".

-adj
causing annoyance, irritation, or aversion; repellent
[1890–95; < F, fem. of rébarbatif, deriv. of rébarber to be unattractive, equiv. to ré- re- + barbe beard (< L barba) + -atif -ative ]
Easter Tuesday bump
Bill Kristol was making some very rebarbative remarks yesterday about the Obama Administrations unilateral and illegal use of force on the high seas. He was aghast that they hadn’t taken the matter to the UN Security Council, consulted with France and other allies, or appealed to the moderate Pirate community. Hilarious. Word-for-word what the Mainstream Media said about the Bush Admin.
I keep waiting to hear the jokes about the 57 states, but, alas........the media skips the good stuff bams says. LOL
The Yankees’ start is rebarbative
How many runs did Chien-Ming Wang just give
To the Tampa Bay Rays?
It was one of those days
When your Wang is broken, it’s tough to live
Bill Kristol gets on my nerves when he plays conservative lite, but it sounds like he was funny yesterday. I also missed the fainter on Glenn Beck.
The store sales reps found Harry’s razorwire suit quite rebarbative to their brain parasitic existence, so they banned him from their stores.
Me and muh dogs go through about a pound of bacon per week, between breakfast on Saturdays and grilled bacon, banana, peanut butter and jalapeno sammiches. I need to start saving the drippings.
Krauthammer and Kondracke looked like they wanted to smack him and Brett Baier was barely able to keep a straight face.
That was must-see TV! The only Fox show I watch anymore is Cavuto, when I’m here. It irks me that his hown is not rebroadcast at other times. I need to Tivo the big giant head.
That would be his “show” doofus.
Cavuto was at one in the afternoon in San Jose.....I liked getting him earlier.
Missing my WFTD ping, and this low-grade, nagging stress headache is causing me some rebarbative feelings this morning. UNNNGH.
I just saw that thread. I like Megyn. I may have to turn the TV on this morning.
Check out this video or Surround Sound Percussion performing its show "S2" in preparation for WGI National Championship Competition in Dayton Ohio this weekend.
VRWCboy is one of the quad players in the drum line.
I SWEAR this is not a Rickroll!
So much anagram potential, so little time. That four-letter word is calling.
I saw them at Princeton U when I was in HS. Everyone sang along to every song. It was fun.
i love that!!!!
sent that to a buncha my peeps!
some of them were unbelievably clever!
my pups would love them some bacon but i worry that it will give them the trots.
There’s only one way to find out. Do you ever give them table scraps? That’s almost the point of having a dog. ;-)
It’s never done that to mine. Yours are more delicate, I know, but you should try a little. Mine look forward to it.
of course, why else do you think i fear them getting trots?? because i know they get diarrhea fairly easily i am not inclined to load them up with a buncha fatty crap! they tolerate chicken but even leftover hamburger riles up their bowels!
i could give them a speck of it, but i do think it’s fat that gets them going, bc leftover beef is much fattier than any chicken and that tends to do it. loosh loves cucumbers when i am making salad and begs for them, and will eat green beans and most any berry. Chan is not a huge eater and so turns her nose up at anything that isn’t meat or a cheese.
Yeah, I’d avoid the bacon if that’s the case. It’s not even classified as a meat anymore by the gov’t food pyramid.
My dictionary has a pic of Henry Waxman at this entry.
Be thankful it’s not of Michael Moore.
Did Bill also fret that Obama’s response would only create more pirates too?
little girly sissy purebred dogs trot lots more than those big bruisers of yours....and even worse, they puke a lot too..even so my two love bananas and strawberries.
Yes and strengthen their resolve. He went on for about 5 minutes before being interrupted.
I mean, living through it was bad enough
Yes, MM is quite obnoxious, but Nostrilitis is much more dangerous. I guess their insanity levels are about the same. I'll petition the OED to add Moore.
mine usually only puke up grass that they eat. but they get diarrhea if you look at them cross-eyed!
we lost an upholstered recliner due to dog puke....couldn’t get into the chair to clean it, put it out at the curb and some unsuspecting dupe happily took it home.
oh good GRIEF that’s gross!!
I put Teixeira back in my lineup after I saw that score and they said he could start today. Usually the day after the rebarbative Devil Rays pile one on the Yankees, the next day is about getting even.
the family are clean freaks, but the daughter dragged the chair home.....we were ROTFLOAO!!! I still snicker about it years later....it was also my mom’s chair and she was incontinent that last year before she died....that I cleaned out of the chair.
;^)
If they’re like my cats, they eat the grass to facilitate puking.
