Word For The Day, Monday, 3/24/14

;


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".

abnegation; noun

noun 1. the act or an instance of abnegating, or denying oneself some rights, conveniences, etc.: It was a time of austerity and abnegation. 2. the act of reliquishing or giving up a right, possession, etc.: abnegation of parental responsibilities.

Etymology: 1550s, from L. abnegationem (nom. abnegatio) "refusal, denial," noun of action from abnegatus, pp. of abnegare, from ab- "off, away from" + negare "to deny" (see deny).

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....

I like sad books and movies only if I’m in the mood-but sad songs are always okay, just like angry heavy metal whether or not I’m pissed-music is an outlet for feelings to me-better to jam and sing with the stereo than to go find who I’m pissed off at and rip their lungs out...

And now you’ve given me an earworm I used to sing with my mom when I was maybe 11-she absolutely loved that song-

“So I got up and slowly I walked on home,
And Mama saw the tears and said, baby what’s wrong?
And so just to keep from telling her a lie,
I just said sad movies makes me cry

Oh, Sad movies always make me cry”...

I like “Tiny Dancer” better...

But “Bennie and the Jets” always puts me in a good mood, because of what I was doing when I heard it the first time...

I wondered, too-have you heard from him?

I don’t think of that as a sad song in the same context as the others-it is sort of a folk ballad, I think...

My God no. Y’all are way closer to salvation than the alternative. Especially Hobbes; he knows what’s going on

Omg xshub just took a call from the RNC I wish I could’ve taped it and embedded it here for you all. I guess they asked which candidate he’d like to see as our nominee for president and he said Scott walker. Then the guy asked if he’d like to increase his level of support... That’s when he warmed to the topic and his voice started rising. He said I’m not going to give another dime until the RNC can figure out who can win elections. We had an excellent candidate for governor and the RNC didn’t lift a finger for him. Instead they listened to the consultant class who said oh cuccinelli is too conservative. And so what happened? We have the most liberal F*ing governor in the country! He’s Hillary Clinton’s bagman and he’s going to raise millions of $ for her as you said she’s their likely nominee and he’s going to do this as governor of our state. And cuccinelli lost by less than 2% of the vote despite the RNC doing NOTHING! The people who carry the freight for this party by stroking the $100 aren’t going to do it anymore when you do stuff like that. So go put that in a memo to someone over there! It was glorious!
The guy was nattering: i understand, I understand. Xsbaby said if it was like her ofc the guy prob out him on speakerphone so they could all hear. He said I should’ve asked him to put me on speaker so I could school them all!

OH, I wish there was a way for us to all hear that-I love it! all the better because he was absolutely right-no one needs to send them any more money until they LISTEN to what voters are saying. I’m inspired now to hand some fund raiser their ass if they call me...

Lmao.

While in a fit of near rage, I got 3.... Yep...count’em 3....soliciting calls on my BB,,,and rather than let it slide, I went absolutely hilariously apeshit.

Fairly vile....involving hunting down, and killing, suggesting one go performing acts of congress solo, etc.,,

To quote Eric Idle...

“Well, i got better”
