Word For The Day, Monday, 4/20/09
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".
cockalorum; noun
A little man with an unduly high opinion of himself. Boastful talk; braggadocio
Etymology: [Perhaps alteration (influenced by Latin -ōrum, genitive pl. ending) of obsolete Flemish kockeloeren, to crow, of imitative origin.]
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....
Not that i recall, LOL!! but i swear taxchick’s bawdy song was on one!
Obama, that smug cockalorum
Sycophants on the left just adore ‘im
Accomplishments: Zero
But, Barack is their hero
All the patriots sure do abhor ‘im
"clintoon's cockalorum would have been just that if not for the stains on that little blue dress!"
Or...
"The new CIC, cockalorum, seems unable to tell the difference between fiction and fact...and he's making decisions based on the former!"
that would be so great if that guy were holding that sign up in Alexandria, VA, the moron MORAN’s district!
Of course he’s a carpetbagger, and he is blanketing the Hampton Roads airwaves with commercials. I can’t turn on the evening news without seeing at least 2 of them every 1/2 hour.
i got my eye on you...! ; )
A++++ great job~!
A++ and an extra + for always having 2 sets of homework!
It's hard to believe that the poster boy for cockalorumitis, Rod Blagojevich, hasn't yet been mentioned.
i’d welcome the zombies at this point if they promised to take over our gov’t!!
Excellent, I want it on a tea party sign.
haven’t seen a thing here for him, that bumpersticker took me by surprise and i actually had to stop and think wait, that’s terry running for gov in VA. it was not uppermost in my mind at all.
A+++ it’s because there are so many that fit this particular bill!
Kinda like the time my ex-wife’s purse got stolen. I didn’t cancel her credit cards right away cause the thief was spending less than she was.
I haven’t seen any bumper stickers at all. I guess part of his strategy is that there are so many of the Moran supporting defense contractors in Hampton Roads and on the Shore and that’s why so much TV time. Ah, but what do I know :)
well Moran would have defense contractor support up here as well, i would imagine, and he has his dad’s name recognition also.
nyuck, nyuck, nyuck. xshub had an employee steal the credit card of another employee, leave the staff meeting to go and use the card and then come back, and flush the cc down the toilet. talk about your brazen hussy.
I realize all of that, but have to wonder if McAwful is partially writing off NoVA because of the Moran name recognition and trying to get himself more down this way. I don’t know, I just know the ads make my teeth hurt.
Oh, BTW, did you see that Kaine’s Sec of Info Technology (or some such department) has now been tapped by the 0 admin? I wish 0 and Eyebrow would take the whole bunch and head for DC and get out of Richmond now and not wait until January.
Brazen? That’s just downright STUPID....
