Word For The Day, Tuesday, May 29, 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".

logomachy [loh-gom-uh-kee]

-n

1. a dispute about or concerning words.
2. an argument or debate marked by the reckless or incorrect use of words; meaningless battle of words.
3. a game played with cards, each bearing one letter, with which words are formed..

[1560–70; < Greek logomachía. See logo-, -machy ]

When you’re Clinton or Obama and you run for POTUS there is often blow.

[NeoCaveman]

Are we referring to cocaine or to Monica Lewinsky and Larry Sinclair?

[SoothingDave]

Yes.

[NeoCaveman]

LOL

Good God! I just turned on the TV to get some news, and instead, I heard the dumbass in chief talking, so I turned on classic rock instead-doesn’t he ever shut up?

That word almost sounds like a made-up word for a college fluff course-zero academic substance for an easy grade...

The constant, silly logomachy
Of the ‘rats is beyond tiresome-
If none of them are wordsmiths,
Maybe they should just hire some-

Perhaps one to whom a dictionary
Is not an object of terror
But a useful tool of reference
Designed to prevent obvious error

Then his handlers wouldn’t constantly
Be explaining every ill-thought word
That comes out of Obama’s mouth
As if we don’t know what we heard

[hobbes1]

Well, that and a heavy dose of Voter fraud.

[mikrofon]

With a campaign bogged down in logomachy
"New Voters" will be for Obama key.
So out go the orders:
"Don't shut down those borders-
"Hello amigos... Welcome aqui!"

[NeoCaveman]

Well, that and a heavy dose of Voter fraud.

And the only colleague who stood up for him was Jim Traficant.
