Word For The Day, Monday, 2/3/14
;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".
moribund; adj.
1. in a dying state; near death. 2. on the verge of extinction or termination. 3. not progressing or advancing; stagnant: a moribund political party.
Etymology: 1721, "about to die," from Fr. moribund (16c.), from L. moribundus "dying," from mori "to die" (see mortal). Fig. sense of "near an end" is from 1837.
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....

My best friend's granddaughters, 9 and 11, rang my doorbell yesterday, selling Girl Scout Cookies. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't refuse them. What was I supposed to tell them--The GSA is in league with the Planned Parenthood baby killers? Makes a boycott difficult.
In stentorian tones that are orotund
Obama, on Benghazi, is strangely jocund
“FOX is pushing the story
‘cause it’s defamatory
To regular ‘folks,’ it is moribund”
You can always cancel your membership afterward.
Well THAT's a bum thought to start the week! Certainly Virginia's recent election defeats don't help.
Hilarius. I’m glad I finally got to see that ad. Most of the clips cannot be shown on my laptop (no flash upgrade yet) and the stairs were too dauting to climb just for a video! Yours came through fine.
Tell them you are on a diet and just give them a donation instead.
Ssh, we don’t have any electoral elections this year so don’t worry. Yet.
oh i’ll cancel as soon as practicable, have no doubt! i knew the scot in you would see my point in this!
yeah, can’t boycott little girls, totally understand.
loathsome creature. A+++
