Word For The Day, Thursday, December 15, 2011 - mundify
dictionaries ad nauseam | 15 December 2011 | Thursday's sub

Posted on 12/15/2011 4:42:31 AM PST by secret garden


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".

mundify \MUHN-duh-fahy\, verb
To purge or purify.

Example sentences:
The cleric, fatigued and mumpish, scolded her, saying that a woman of her burdensome years should return home and mundify her morphewed sins.
-- Edward Dahlberg, The Olive of Minerva: Or, The Comedy of a Cuckold

Vigorous efforts to mundify old nasty habits should find priority as a substruction on which the edifice of the efforts of humanising the police should be built.
-- Praveen Kumar, Indian Police

Etymology:
Mundify is built from two Latin roots, mundi-, "to clean," and ficare, "to do."

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....

I predict that the economy will start to sail along as soon as it’s obvious that theO is going down. Too bad your rain wasn’t spread out over the entire year. We have had rain as well, it’s like a misty rain every dang day. A few hours of sunshine here and there. DH says the cold winds are blowing in. Up to 35mph, so the inflatables are all done....the entire menagerie of them.

I think we will get going again as soon as we have a regime change-just like we did when Reagan was elected-times were still tough, but people started to get back to work really fast, the atmosphere was hopeful and so business started picking up.

I don’t put up lights on the house-I learned better the first Christmas we lived here and the squirrels hopped from the trees overhanging the garage roof and gleefully tore the light strings asunder within a few days. Like any redneck woman however, I do keep one string of lights on the side deck all year long-hell yeah!...

I will have to venture out this year and snap some pics of the menagerie and post them. My DH goes all out. It’s the talk of the neighborhood and folks from all over town come by and know who we are. LOL I gave up trying to rein him in years ago. Right in front of the house is a 12 ft. fire truck with Santa in it.
