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".
apercu \ˌa-pər-ˈsü\ noun
1. a brief survey or sketch : outline
2. an immediate impression; especially : insight
3. a hasty glance, a glimpse
Example sentence:
I could not figure out how to make the cedilla accent mark for apercu. Extra credit for anyone who can teach me how to do it.
Etymology:
French, from aperçu, past participle of apercevoir to perceive, from Old French aperceivre, from a- (from Latinad-) + perceivre to perceive — more at perceive First Known Use: 1828
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....

WFB's attempt to emulate us ; ) No pushing at the door please!
Those must have been some small cats-I think Midget girl is almost the size of a Yorkie-6 lbs, but my other two cats weigh 13 and 22 pounds...
Thank you! I just used the ancient aliens for the poem-I watched a British mini-series about Cromwell and the British civil war, viewed through the eyes of a fictional woman of the minor nobility-it was actually pretty good.
If Weiner had a normal marriage where political considerations didn’t come into account, he’d be skating on thin ice already…
You’d think that ‘Death’ would go with an enforcer though. Selanne?
Salacious Grin would have been my choice for him. He defines Finnish babe. But I’m a girl so I can say that...
I caught The Big Lebowski halfway through the other night on one of the movie channels. My daughter gave me one of those “not this movie again” remarks, but was soon correcting me about which toe was lost (little piggy toe, not big toe).
She’s old enough now I don’t worry about the language. I’m even watching some of the South Park reruns with her in the room now. Some of them.
Slate.com, which has the name generator, prob doesn’t know from hockey!
Emilio Verboten is a good one. Has a nice flow to it.
Is it just me who sees a resemblance?
Well at least Weiner likes women.
He’s all growed up!
(sorta)
Did you watch the song vid yest? Bc that pic on wieners twitter avatar is his actual HS pic and he looks EXACTLY like horshack!
Yes, that’s what prompted me to make the comparison. That avatar pic.
The actual name of the pix recipient is Sydney Leathers? Honestly I thought that was her code name. Sounds like a Dom!
He looks exactly like him. As Dfwgator pointed out horshack was/is gay. Is he dead? I can’t recall.
He died a year ago.
Aids?
That’s racist! ;-)
I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who thought Sydney Leathers was a code name for her um-specialty-like Bad Barbie, or something...
Sydney Leathers is where I buy my chaps whenever I’m in Australia.
The horrible thing is the girl is xsteen’s age or younger.
