Word For The Day, Monday, 9/16/13

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".

Abjure; verb

1. to renounce, repudiate, or retract, especially with formal solemnity; recant: to abjure one's errors. 2. to renounce or give up under oath; forswear: to abjure allegiance. 3. to avoid or shun

Etymology:1400–50; late Middle English < Latin abjūrāre to deny on oath, equivalent to ab- ab- + jūrāre to swear; see jury1

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....

Turns out my wife and daughter were using these “flushable wipes.”

Not as flushable as advertised.

Thanks-it will get there-just takes time.

I’m glad the little elephant has plenty of human attention to make up for that horrid mother-I’m sure there are many reasons why animals reject their young, but I’ve never understood it-hopefully, that female elephant is never allowed to breed again...

Yes, as the show winds down, they have Walt doing things that would never happen IRL.

He would havejust learned his lesson, about the phone from Jesses call.

His call would have been....

“skyler, Hank was working with Jesse Pinkman. They lured me out to the desert, to kill me. Some Neo Nazis Jesse was going into business with were following them. I managed to escape.”

Hey at least the Clowns didnt get your starter injured by putting him behind a guy that never played center, a week prior to the third preseason game.

All becUse your GM, hoped to catch lightning in a bottle with an overrated draftpick.

The more I think about it, Walt had to know the cops would be there and his intention was to absolve Skyler in his conspiracy.

But last week’s blabbing on the phone to Jesse was just stupid.

That occurred to me, but that would cause her to lose the car wash.

Thought that may bay occur. He gets with Sauks new identityguy, with the 11 mil.

I wonder if at the end, he dies alone. (baby scene) devoid of e erything he wanted, and she inherits the money, in the same manner as they funneled it to Beneke,

I don’t think his family ends up with the money.

I think the fortune gets lost one last time.

Making the whole exercise for naught.

Anyone who has seen the movie The Freshman, knows the horror of government military pushing itself into our lives. The Gibson guitar raid was another example of force and might being used without cause. Lefties hate the military and gun-carrying unless it’s done by their pet agencies.

Thank you very much. I sent the cake to the office with my husband. He’s going to pick me up later. I hope I get there in time to get a piece.

Oh, she’ll lose the car wash if the police have any reason to dig into its purchase. Which they will if Marie has any say.

I guess, in retrospect, the smartest man in the world should have written down not the GPS coordinates of his treasure but the coordinates offset by some numbers he knew in his head.

Most of the Tres Leches cakes pictured on the web look like that, but mine is different. It’s 4 layers with a caramel glaze on the top and several pieces of thin, flaked chocolate as decoration in the center. I think I’ prefer the fruit, frankly, but it was not an option.

Marie is going to die.

What they have kept out of view, is if Walt knows where the cook is.

Well, as far as the GPS, he did put it on a lottery ticket, which is essentially the same, though offset would have been better, but even then he had to give them the location, to get rescued.

That was another mistake, driving to the exact spot, once he saw no car, and the call dropped, he should have driven a mile or so,

Plus, two more things.

He wouldnt have buried all the barrels in one spot, 2 at a time at best, and he would have told Jesse to show him all the barrels, to exclude, or lessen the possibilty of a fake,

I can’t believe Saul doesn’t know any better mob accountants who can launder money for you, instead of having you do it for yourself with small businesses.
