Word For The Day, Monday, 11/7/11
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".
oeuvre; noun
1. a work of art, literature, music, etc 2. the total output of a writer, painter, etc
Etymology: "a work," esp. a work of literature, also "the body of work produced by an artist," 1875, from Fr. oeuvre "work," from L. opera (see opus).
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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
Looks like the entire oeuvre of JoePa at PennState is going to go down in flames over this.

No pushing at the door please!
I guess this party won’t have any hors d’ouvre?
Guten Tag.
Good morning. Please excuse last week’s absences. We had power, but no cable, from which I get the Internet, telephone, and television.
You’re not supposed to set your clock back an hour every night. ;-)
Horse Overies?
dang you were anxious! in before the ping ; )
Well i guess i will call the truant officer off your case then... ; ) Glad to have you back, that had to have been a rough patch!
Based upon my access and review of your oeuvre, we are a year late in this exercise. Your post states ‘word of the day November 7, 2010’.
why, did you do it again last night? i woke up first at 4 am, and then again at 5 am, on a morning when i would have been able to sleep til 6 am since xshub is out of town and i had to take xsjr to school. Guess the internal clock can’t be set back.
It will be difficult for Romney to repudiate his oeuvre in Massachusetts, if he is going to campaign against Obamacare.
dang, i’m living in the past, it’s time to MOVE ON.ORG!
Could someone please change the date to November 11, 2010 on this thread? Otherwise i am going to have pedants up my butt correcting me all dang day : )
Thanks!
Obama’s books, his entire oeuvre
Were praised by the left with a foeuvre
“Dreams of My Father,” “Audacity of Hope”
Ghost written by Ayers, another lib dope
Wants a new term he doesn’t desoeuvre
So they’re calling old Herman a nasty old poeuvre
“Miss, I’d like my eggs oeuvre easy please.”
ok, i am truly brain dead, please change it to November 11, 2011. pretty please?
In Historic terms, Centuries from now, the entire Obama Oeuvre as a President will be described as “The Onset of the World’s Deepest Depression, Financially, Politically, and Personally”.
You want the date changed to 2010?
whoa, you were saving all that up last week, weren’t ya? EXCELENTE! A++++++
And no, I don't mean Sarah Jessica Parker is now available
