Word For The Day, Tuesday, January 24, 2012
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".
hypophora
-n
Hypophora, also referred to as anthypophora or antipophora, is a figure of speech in which the speaker poses a question and then answers the question.
I read it, even understand it. I am talking about the church getting it’s Catholics informed and voting accordingly. I know it does not take effect till after the election, but it is coming.
Yes, it is only Cuban Jews who do that dance. They git mo satisfaction doing it in front of their enemies at the prison.
I may need a zoning variance to do that.
LOL!!!
i might know someone.... ; )
I hope that happens. More likely the liberal clerics will be quiet about it long enough to get Obama re-elected.
I was reading those tweets yesterday and thinking he had to be hacked.
the jerk called attention to himself by sponsoring the bills....he only withdrew his support when the sheit hit the fan. boo-hoo.
Isnit likely that the people who are actually in the church tonhear the homilies aren’t already aware of The One’s anti Church positions?
Answering your own question, huh? It is for a fact that this “hypophora” is not found in our Popular Mechanics Collector Set (with rich, leather-like bindings) so it's probly foreign. Any whooo, here we go with an example of same,
Mrs. Oolitic, our local celebrity high school teacher and holder of a three year teaching contract, asked her charges what the difference was betwixt being stumped and being A stump.
Looking out over those slack jawed, empty spare room stares she says none, none atall and a little eye water ran down them powder donut cheeks.
That was early 1987 and her husband, Stoney still thinks she'll come back home and raise loquats.
So we figure there could be more to this hypophora.
Hypobama - The media setup of softball questions & answers to make The One look brilliant and decisive.
More to the point, wasn’t last year’s Stanley Cup like a long time ago? The White House couldn’t have the team around till 6 months or more later?
Excellent
Well to be fair, it’s hard to fit a photo op in between luxurious vacations and 90 rounds of golf.
92, but who’s counting. ;-)
Interesting one-I’ll give it a go-
Will we hear more hypophora
To bore us to tears tonight?
Of course we will, most certainly-
Because Obama thinks his right
Is to bore the entire nation
With all his bolshevik dreams
Does he know how annoyed we are?
I guess not-or so it seems
No matter how many go to sleep
Or turn to NatGeo in disgust
He’s determined to make his “legacy”
Turn into next November’s dust...
It is beginning to rain off and on earlier than predicted-so I lighted a fire in the grill and am smoking a chicken for dinner before it gets too wet to cook outdoors. Later, I’ll cook some precious fresh peas a neighbor brought me from the city and green onions with butter to go with it and hyave an early dinner.
I would have lit a fire, but that’s just me.
