Word For The Day, Monday, 9/14/15
;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".
puerile; adj
adjective 1. of or relating to a child or to childhood.
2. childishly foolish; immature or trivial: a puerile piece of writing.
Etymology: 1660s, "youthful, boyish," a back-formation from puerility, or else from French puéril (15c.), from Latin puerilis "boyish; childish," from puer "boy, child" (see puerility ). Disparaging sense, "juvenile, immature," is from 1680s.
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.
Practice makes perfect.....post on....

It sure is nice to take off the tie and fancy pants at the end of the work day and be able to be the puerile Jeff I prefer to be. If I could stay 10 years old, that would be great, as log as I could have beer, too. This adulting thing just doesn’t really work for me.
