Word For The Day, Monday, 1/28/13



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".

sub rosa; nounc

confidentially; secretly; privately.

Etymology: 1920–25; < Latin sub rosā literally, under the rose, from the ancient use of the rose at meetings as a symbol of the sworn confidence of the participants

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....

We’re going to get whiplash this week. Up to the 60s for a couple days, then back down to a high of 23 on Friday.

Quite a contrast with the 90s which saw song titles like “stink fist” by fuel and “dead and Bloated” by stone temple pilots. I just have to ROR.

Perhaps you just weren't familiar with his ethnic heritage. Soother brought back this song from my childhood.

I baked her cake and wrapped the gifts and just need to know what she wants for dinner. I hope she doesn’t have a lot of homework tonight.
