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....
You notice they don’t mention which book is number 1. Our own Mark Levin’s Liberty and Tyranny. I asked my library to get one and they have 2 copies on order.
xshub ordered it from the conservative book club. i look forward to my turn to read it!
if it ain’t the zombies it’s the solar storm.
Liberty #1
Tyranny #2
I bought mine from Barnes & Noble. I’m just starting it now.
I’m sure he prefers we each buy our own copies, but I thought it would get read even more if my library stocked it and it was featured on the new books shelf. I’m looking forward to it. I end up buying books I love one way or another.
Perfect timing! xs and I were just talking veggies and believe it or not, I like broccoli, or I did until I saw that giant head you posted. I only like it raw or steamed, no sauce, just salt. Mushy veggies are disgusting.
HILARIOUS and yes SG and i were just discussing veggies and i’d like to see her take a big bite out of THAT head!!
He was one of the smarter ones of the troupe. I’d like to ask him how that socialized medicine and dentistry worked out. Haven’t muslims taken over London now anyway?
How a Briton can say ANYTHING with the state their country is in is amazing to me.
In 1980 and 82, Cleese and some other British performers appeared in several Benefits called “The Secret Policeman’s Balls.” They were benefits for Amnesty International. I’ve known since then that he was a leftist moonbat. Rowan Atkinson and other Pythoners appear in it too.
i’d rather remain ignorant of the political persuasions of these people. After watching the Tudors last night, i dreamt i was in London at a restaurant, ordering tea!
who will be the one to tell her that NO ONE CARES what she thinks about ANYTHING?
My guess is two years tops before she ends up on a slab. She’s already way down the Dana Plato Road to Ruin™. Unremitting Substance Abuse, Sexual Indiscretion, Nude pictures/films (LiLO’s got a sex tape on line. She...ahem...knows how to please a man). All that’s left is armed robbery and suicide.
I thought a cockalorum was the minimum numbr of men you needed present in order to conduct official business?
