Word For The Day, July 23, 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".
Swivet [swiv-it]
-n
a state of nervous excitement, haste, or anxiety; flutter
[1890–95; origin obscure]
The lickalottapuss is way too annoying to be on the news that much.
Because the bankers that control your national campaign finances need to learn to Kiss more Republican asses. ; )1
Ron Mexico. Carlos Danger.
Somewhere in a Spanish-speaking country is there some guy cheating on his wife as “Fred Milwaukee?”
“you can’t believe everything you read on the internet” - Abraham Lincoln.
Right.
That was Jefferson.
Yeah grits are a southeastern thing....we don’t do grits in Texas ;^)
The waitress at the pancake house in VA Beach was trying to get me to try them. She was appalled that the yankees who do try them sweeten them with honey or sugar or syrup.
Which apparently isn’t done.
only 13% of folks make up statistics though.
There was an old lady named Hester
addicted to cats and a duster.
Got all in a swivet
started to pivet
while trying out her new brand new swifter.
ok, pretty lame.
I tried them once and gagged - just not something I care for at all. But there are some who don’t like white gravy and sausage on biscuits...which is pretty popular in my area.
Do you mean 17%?
actually 13.7% to be precise. ;^)
This “emperor” is as conceited
As those who came before him-
He thinks he is worshipped,
And not that some abhor him
He believes in all his own BS
Every phrase, and every word-
He works himself into a swivet
Before going out to be heard
And if his handlers are nervous
You can’t blame them for that-
The way his numbers are falling,
His rabbit has abandoned the hat...
I walk in here from work, and what do I see but people talking about some really strange stuff-I saw some furries once on that show “Taboo”-aren’t they people with delusions of being animals? I didn’t realize it was a sexual thing, too...
I hate grits, and it isn’t something we eat in this part of Texas-but one of my aunts had a husband from Louisiana who ate the stuff with sausage and eggs-I tasted it once with some butter on it and it had no flavor at all-it reminded me of jicama, or even tofu-things you put in salad to pick up the flavor of the other ingredients. The thought of it with honey or syrup makes my teeth itch...
Nice
OMG, I can’t breathe! The only thing missing was the creepy Geraldo selfie!
That was hysterical.........I was swaying and singing.....can’t stop laughing.
I have had that earworm all say long!!
Loved that sort of Barry White groove! And the twitter birds next to the Washington monument killed me!
just got back from my weirdo in his underwear call...took him to the psych center. just wandering the streets in his undies. hadn’t bathed in awhile......stunk. almost a full moon, the loony waiting room was FULL. we had to put the guy in his undies in a wheel chair in the waiting room. classy. was thinking of this song while hanging out there.
