Word For The Day, September 18, 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".
orectic [aw-rek-tik, oh-rek-]
-adj
Philosophy of or pertaining to desire; appetitive.
[1665–75; < Greek orektikós appetitive, equivalent to orekt(ós) stretched out, longed for (derivative of orégein to grasp for, desire) + -ikos -ic]
Just listened to a long iterview that Beck did with Rick Perry and I wondered “where was THIS guy during the primaries”....
Sunny and 70 here, with only the mid 80’s predicted-maybe fall comes early this year...
For much better economic news
Many of us are just orectic-
But Obama’s cavalier attitude
Is turning us apoplectic
He chews up a logical statement
As though he can’t begin it
Until he’s asked his minions
Just how they want to spin it
The Middle East is burning now
And gas prices are climbing
Way to go there, Carter wannabe-
What an excellent sense of timing...
Even if I could afford one, I’m convinced anything that expensive is bound to be overrated...
Today’s a good day to build an ark. We’re expecting 1-2 inches of rain. High of 67.
Orectic
You say this means, Philosophy of or pertaining to desire; appetitive.?
I guess it could but let’s break this orectic down a two barrel carb.
Perry T. was orectic (O-wreck-tic!) with three of his Daddy’s cars but I can’t say the old man was appetitive for Perry to be driving anymore.
Course now, being fair to Perry, as a nine year old his legs just weren’t long enough to reach the foot pedals.
Wow! There were almost 5 inches in my rain gauge after the cool front came through over the weekend.
Romney is channeling Reagan and Obama is channeling Carter.....I am expecting a perfect storm on Nov 6th.
Chocolate birthday cake with vanilla ice cream....is pretty dang erotic, er orectic ...whatever. I love that combination, which is why we quit having birthday cakes around here. (sigh)
Rasmussen has colorado R@ 47% O@45% with LV
RCP Florida R@ 48% O@ 47% with LV
Rasmussen national poll has Romney up by 2 % with LV
Gallup has R@ 46% O@ 47% with Registered voters
i just saw those and it made me soooooo happy. it’s so hard hearing MSM stuff that is so drastically at odds with what we know to be true. They are sealing Romney’s coffin over the 47% BS and these polls keep rolling in.
After the poll went up at Drudge, he put a side note headline by the numbers.... basically stating that Gallup confirms Romney's 47% ......BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
He was ticking us off with his views on illegal aliens.
You’re so immature. That is one of our favorite punch lines in this house - Rectum? Dang near killed him!
Oh yes.
Those were the days.
The 47%BS resonates with Rep and Indies........yep, a perfect storm is brewing.
The polls will be for Romney soon, as they don’t want to be exposed as fake on election day.
I agree...in about two to three weeks most likely.
That’s called Multidirectional Narrow Beam Focus Optional Gravity. And when the revolution comes, You Will Like It!
LOL! High praise!
We were laughing our heads off reading your post. Some jokes are just timeless. Like the guy who wore a tux to his vasectomy.
