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".

1. carefully or elegantly done, operated, or designed. 2. well-groomed Also, soi·gnée.
Etymology: 191520; < F, ptp. of soigner to take care of < Gmc (cf. OS sunnea care, concern)
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. ;-)

Years ago, I had a 1987 Ferrari 328 GTS (Spider). It was a fun car, but cops followed me around ;-) I sold it a year later.
Whoa! the cleaning ladies are here and i just heard the main one telling the other about Obama putting into effect a law requiring insurance. she said she can’t afford to buy it!
btw, that conversation took place in Spanish!
Good morning - This thread brings back memories of FR from long ago - senior citizens and fairy tale lives. But back to your posted photos - didn’t we just read the Sarkozy’s were having problems?
Do they know you not only habla but can entiende?
yes, she often asks me for legal advice, so she knows, i expect she may ask me about this before she leaves today.
You may enjoy this photo also ...from the same event. ;)
Here we have President Obama, Michelle Obama, Spanish Prime Minister José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, his wife and their two teenage goth daughters at the world leaders reception in NYC.
This awesome picture of them actually caused some consternation, because Prime Minister Zapatero doesn't allow any of the Spanish papers to run pictures of his daughters. However, once this picture hit the wires it was on the front page of some Spanish papers and in almost everybody's inbox. PM Zapatero probably spazzed out.
But then you wouldn't be able to produce those cute little hatchlings.
i recall that pic of the Span ambass and family. those daughters look like they either A) are dressed for halloween or 2) work at Hot Topic.
shouldn’t the offspring have wings at least??
I hope she doesn’t expect you to chip in for her premiums or cover her SS taxes too.
she has never even asked me for a raise in the 18 years she has worked for me, i have given them on my own of my own volition.
The one on the left has some kind of little nubbins.
