Word For The Day, January 29, 2013
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".
couthie [koo-thee]
-adj
agreeable; genial; kindly.
[1715–25; couth2 + -ie, spelling variant of -y1]
It was 1983. Morning in America. Flashdance and the McNugget become things. Michael Jackson debuts the moonwalk. Kiss appears in public sans makeup. And this group of Dutchmen cracks the Top 40 with a tale of lost love.

Unfortunately, the couthie RINO’s in the Congress get routinely hondled by the couthless Left.
that is one HAHT sleeveless leopardprint jumpsuit that the drummer is wearing ; )
Is this too now HAIRBAND NATION?
I would rather be a a bearer of truth,
even if it means I am a bit uncouth.
“truthee is better than couthie”
At least the guitarist is wearing a bow tie.
truthee agrees.
Ha Ha Ha! I should have PINGED you, FRiend! :-)
Representatives of both parties are doing their couthie duty in trying to out-pander each other in the quest for Hispanic votes. Let’s be honest, folks—if there were an old law on the books that said that Hispanics would never be allowed to vote, there would be no pandering. In fact, the borders would have been sealed long ago and strict laws would have been passed (and enforced) to prevent employers from hiring illegals, and the latter would have been rounded up and/or harangued to such an extent that they would have gone home willingly. This whole brouhaha has nothing to do with compassion, and everything to do with votes.
I must have been in a coma in the early 80’s....I don’t remember that band or the song, and now wish I could forget looking at them.
Exactly truthie - as I’ve said many times before, even in my State, which claims to be doing all it can to prevent illegals from being here/staying here - even a government contract does not keep a contractor from having all illegal workforce. We have a major project going on nearby and all I see are small dark men working. Illegals are darker than American hispanics and much smaller - it is easy to spot them.
It did hit #39 on the Billboard charts. I heard it on the radio while I was out Saturday. Awful scrawny looking singer. The guitarist ended up in Whitesnake.
My son would probably know that - and I do know of Whitesnake....Well I was working a lot back then and since I didn’t meet my husband until the end of 83, I guess if I ever did go to a club it was country.
I can’t imagine a “club” playing that type of music.
Who hired Craig Livingstone?
Which type?
Hair band hard rock.
