Word For The Day, Monday, June 6, 2011
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".
refulgent [ri-fuhl-juhnt]
-adj
shining brightly; radiant; gleaming
[1500–10; < Latin refulgent- (stem of refulgēns, present participle of refulgēre to radiate light). See re-, fulgent ]
Here I come to save the day!
thanks. saw Bridesmaids this past weekend. seems like it might be up your alley. unbelievably crude humor, but i LMAO. slapstick and lucille ballish which isn’t my fave but still, i was laughing myself silly on the drive home just thinking about some of it.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Great word! In the spirit of GlocktheVote's sentiment, how about a FR day that is free of the wiener jokes and obama trashing to remember D-Day, June 6 and the "refulgent" men and women of the United States of America Armed Forces?
To all FReepers who have served in the armed forces of America to keep our freedom, THANK YOU AND GODSPEED!
I can’t imagine you going to see something that crude. I hear it levels the gender playing field. Finally women can have something like a Judd Apatow movie.
If only they could freeze dry her.
There’s only one proper response to that!

xsteen and i went. it was unbelievably crude, not my normal cup of tea at all, but i can still crack up thinking about the funny parts.
Watching the refulgent fleet crossing the English Channel on a History Channel memorial of D-Day.

Now, I’m hearing Todd Rundgren.
‘Hello, it’s me I’ve thought about us for a long, long time’
Bump!
comments are hilarious. i was afraid that weinergate was on the ebb, glad to hear it’s REFULGANT!
I am going to visit Normandy at the end of July!!
Yeah, but now I’ve got the Rundgren Ear worm.
Can someone say Huma-liated...oops!
And...I still cannot get over the silence of the Speaker of the House, not over the original incident...but after the Emily Miller sexual harassment Q&A he did in the Capitol.
Kind of confirms everything I’ve thought of Boner.
To the people, Palin is refulgent
Though the Media’s not so indulgent.
Just the sound of her name
Makes them feel much the same
As if they swallowed an emulgent.
