Word For The Day, April 30, 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".
stroppy [strop-ee]
-adj
Br. bad-tempered or hostile; quick to take offense.
[1950–55; perhaps (ob)strep(erous) + -y1 , though o is unexplained ]
Dug deep for that one, didn’t ya? Mornin’
Just about every peaceful Islamist becomes a stroppy little cuss if you mention that their prophet Muhammad was a murderous pedophile.
Bright and stroppy morning to ya!
Isn’t a barber’s pole a stroppy thing too?
Yes, I did.
I can only figure that they were hoping for a trade for him to happen during the draft. Either that or they hate him.
And there is a possibility that the Jets are a really stupid organization.
Now you’re going to put the tiger in a stroppy mood.
I’m weaning myself off of narcotics this week, so I’m a little stroppy. I can’t believe the whole month of April is GONE.
Refresh my memory. Isn’t this building where the piece of one of the 911 air planes was found the same one that a court decided was NOT a part of the Trade Center “killing field” and therefore could not be declared off base as a future mosque location? Does this discovery change the argument.
Ever seen “Trainspotting”? I just re-watched it recently.

Relinquishing junk. Stage one, preparation. For this you will need one room which you will not leave. Soothing music. Tomato soup, ten tins of. Mushroom soup, eight tins of, for consumption cold. Ice cream, vanilla, one large tub of. Magnesia, milk of, one bottle. Paracetamol, mouthwash, vitamins. Mineral water, Lucozade, pornography. One mattress. One bucket for urine, one for feces and one for vomitus. One television and one bottle of Valium, which I’ve already procured from my mother, who is, in her own domestic and socially acceptable way also a drug addict. And now I’m ready. All I need is one final hit to soothe the pain while the Valium takes effect.
Well the Jets were up to 6 QB’s.
Starting QB Mark Sanchez had thrown a welcome party for newly drafted QB Gino Smith but it got intercepted and run back for a touchdown.
:^)
To be accurate, the Jets didn't draft Tebow. They acquired him from Denver via a trade.
oh, yeah, right. I am just disgusted with them after this....I will NEVER cheer for them again. Not my team to begin with, but I liked Tebow.
Obamacare: People are stroppy
Its implementation is choppy
