Word For The Day, Monday, 1/13/14

;


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".

diminution; noun

1. the act, fact, or process of diminishing; lessening; reduction. 2. Music. the repetition or imitation of a subject or theme in notes of shorter duration than those first used.

Etymology: 1275–1325; Middle English diminucion < Anglo-French diminuciun < Latin dīminūtiōn- (stem of dīminūtiō ), for dēminūtiōn- (stem of dēminūtiō ) (by influence of dīmunuere; see diminish), equivalent to dēminūt ( us ) (past participle of dēminuere, equivalent to dē- de- + minuere to lessen) + -iōn- -ion

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....

though I am praying (if one is allowed to pray for such a thing) that this stunning woman lives and commutes in one of the targeted pantsless cities.

Christie Whitman, was an obv Rino, as Gov.

Christie...is different.. The context of the State, he governs...will not go away. Until he seeks higher office .I have a pretty fair eye, (backed Keyes,Bush.Perry) so, it’s not like, it’s hard too tell the difference between say. christie, and..party nominees John McCain, or Mitt Romney.

Btw, did you see the Maricopa/McCain thing?

I swear XS, do you go to art museums, take a magnifying glass to classic landscape paintings, and search for piles of manure? Enjoy the beauty; don’t focus on the blemishes.

Meh. Why bother with the length? You don’t see them when the knees are around your lats.

hey, as a Mary Lou Retton fanatic I’ve always been on the side of it’s the shapeliness, not the length that matters. But damn, there are exceptions to many rules, and this is like Side-Show Freakism for good, not evil.

I would suspect that men just have that innate eyesight.

Women on the other hand view other women like looking across the line in the 100 yard dash.

Till they go lipstick.

Thing is...I’ve long been a leg man...it ain’t length. Watch “The Running Man” that group of Dancers that opens for Richard Dawson, has more great legs than Col.Sanders.

Muscle,tone,Shape,

Length...is more a body proportion thing.

That chick looks weird....

So that is what Van Morrison was telling us when he wrote:

All the girls walk by.
Dressed up for each other.

The beauty of it is it works regardless of whether or not the women in question have gone lipstick yet or not.
