Word For The Day, Monday, 9/17/12
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".
persiflage; noun
. light, bantering talk or writing. 2. a frivolous or flippant style of treating a subject.
Etymology: 1757, from Fr. persiflage, from persifler "to banter," from L. per- "through" + Fr. siffler "to whistle, hiss," from collateral form of L. sibilare "to hiss," possibly of imitative origin.
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....
