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".
dissilient \dih-SIL-ee-uhnt\ , adjective
bursting apart; bursting open
Example sentences:
I imagined the dissilient pod of rumours a creative bureau chief up for promotion might hatch. Stories, once sprung, would snowball out of control, growing more damaging with each repetition.
-- Susan Daitch, L.C., 2002
The court was dissilient, generationally fractured, manned (as it were) by an increasingly impatient and acquisitive nobility.
-- Eric Scott Mallin, Inscribing the Time, 1995
Etymology:
Dissilent comes from the Latin word dissilīre meaning "to leap apart."
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)

The “conventional wisdom” is that dissidents Cruz & Lee have caused dissilience in the Republican Party, otherwise things would have been JUST fine…

Thanks to the good old internet-
And now no one wants to play
It is shown to be a disaster-
And the only thing that’s “free”
Is the chance for criminals
To steal anyone’s identity...
In early childhood, we call that parallel play.

Doing it to a career guy, is despicable.
He made his bed, now he can lay in it.
No, and thats really my point. He’s a careerist, who has to tale orders, not a fellow traveller.
Speak up, lose your career.
