Word For The Day, Tuesday, March 27, 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".
wen [wen]
-n
1. Pathology a benign encysted tumor of the skin, especially on the scalp, containing sebaceous matter; a sebaceous cyst.
2. British a large overcrowded city (esp London in the phrase "the great wen" )
[Old English wenn; related to Danish dialect van, væne, Dutch wenn ]
We need to wean you from that stuff. I know you love the bubbles but it kills healthy tissue.
Do I dare hope? Early tweets seem to imply that Obamacare is in huge trouble.
Zimmerman a democrat......LMAO.
i talk about it way more than i actually use it, can’t remember when i last had it out.
saw them and yes its a good sign.
When might we expect a verdict? Do they normally announce by end of term in June or so?
My Sig will arrive in a few weeks.
Just seeing the tweet from Katrina vdh is enough to make me smile, tectonically! ROR!
Ooooh. What caliber?
i think that a decision is expected by end of june at the latest.
ROR is right! that was DELICIOUS!
The American left is a Pustulating wen on the backside of an otherwise Wonderful Nation.
Mittens goes all Corleone on Obamacare
“If I’m the godfather of this thing, then it gives me the right to kill it. And if I’m the president, I will get rid of Obamacare. I will stop it in its tracks on Day One, and get it repealed. “

i am OOOOOOOH so ready to moveon.org with the damn election. Pick someone and let’s GOOOOOOOOO. enough of this d!cking around, already.
it’s close to over.
Misty and 68 out-beautiful in the woods, where I just came from. So easy to sneak up close on and watch wildlife in the poor visibility-I took my field glasses so I could watch the birds.
Obama let another open mic
Out his agenda and wishes-
Once he is out, will he find
A job even doing dishes?
Or is he like so many now-
Snobs with advanced degrees
Who don’t have the common sense
To get hired to just plant trees
Promising away this country
Isn’t even a well-informed whim-
At any rate, there is no country
World wide that belongs to him...
“Wen” didn’t work there, except as a pun, so-
When November comes, most of us will
Celebrate a real commander in chief
While in the liberal wens, the moochers
Will tearing their hair in grief
They’ll have to go to work again-
Get paid by the hour or by the day
No special treatment for ethnicity-
That is the real American way...
At the risk of being pedantic-I’m RMFE till they are about to fall out every time someone on TV or a thread says something like Zimmerman is hispanic-not white. I wish people would not confuse race and ethnicity-they are two totally different things-there are only three races known on earth-Negroid, Mongoloid and Caucasoid-AKA black, asian/oriental and white. The left loves to call every ethnic group a “race”, which is incorrect.
There are as many ethnic groups as there are places for them to be from. Hispanics ARE “white” for the most part, but they can also be black (Carribean, parts of S America, etc) or Asian (Phillipines), or a combination of all three races. We also know now that the three races are not pure, and probably haven’t been for 10’s of thousands of years, anyway.
I remember awhile back, well informed newsreaders used to say things like ethnic Serbians, “ethnic Tibetans”, ethnic Nigerians, ethnic Basques etc. correctly identifying people in ethnic groups. What ever happened to that?
And if one is properly PC-Zimmerman is an ethnic Hispanic or Latino-or a Hispanic Caucasian...
