Word For The Day, Monday, 11/23/15
;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".
insuperable; adj.
incapable of being passed over, overcome, or surmounted: an insuperable barrier
Etymology: mid-14c., "unconquerable," from Latin insuperabilis "that cannot be passed over, unconquerable," from in- "not, opposite of" (see in- (1)) + superabilis "that may be overcome," from superare "to overcome," from superus "one that is above," from super "over" (see super- ). Figurative use from 1650s. Related: Insuperably.
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....
Here is my example with WFTD.
are our multiplying problems insuperable? feels like it.
No pushing at the door please!

Kelly made me such an awesome dinner last night. A second helping was insupperable.
Ugh. Had microwave dinner dinner last night.
It was insupperable. But less than eating out. Again.
A+++ what did she make?
you copied travis, btw, please report to the principals ofc....
Baked ziti. Sounds really basic, but not how she makes it. Really good!
“He” copied “me” teach. (He just happened to turn”his” in first ....)

The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarter's Expenses?
A+++ it would be a step in the right direction.
Barack, BS artist (a pooper of bull)
Won’t build southern wall that’s insuperable
Trump would, in short order
Stop the flow through our border
Using drones for wide zones, paratrooperable
great one! A++++
The American spirit is the power of the Almighty. It can not be brought down. It is an insuperable bulwark against all tyranny. It will bring low the cowards who seek to destroy it.
Two examples to prove my limerick:
Lefty professor says White is a disease.
King of Sweden calls for no more baths....to save the earth.
I am encouraged.....there were 50 Catholics participating in a Bible study from just one church. Impressive turnout for 9 straight weeks.
Sadly it looks like Bernie Sanders will not be able to overcome the insuperable barrier and we will be stuck with the insufferable Hildabest as the Demoncrat nominee.
It looked grim for the Jayhawks, as they gave up a long drive to start the second half on Friday night and fell behind 14-0. But a coffin-corner punt and an ensuing safety kicked off a 22 point rally and a berth in the WPIAL championships this Saturday. They will have a rematch with the seemingly insuperable Bears. The Bears have won 80 games and lost 3 since 2010. The Jayhawks played them tough through three quarters earlier in the year, but still ended up losing by 20 some points. It will be a tall order to get the upset.
My alma mater Warriors also won and get only their second appearance in the finals. They played a see-saw game, but drove in the final minute to re-take the lead with only 7 seconds left. They will play in the nightcap for an entire era, as the state next year has decided to move to 6 classes in football, from the current 4.
Whatever happens next year, it will not be 4 champions crowned in Heinz Field on one glorious day.
And then Pitt won, too and the Bengals lost.
A+++ Amen.
