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. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of 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....
incult \In*cult"\, adjective:
1. Not cultured; coarse.
2. Untilled; uncultivated; crude; rude; uncivilized.
Her forests huge,
Incult, robust, and tall, by Natures hand
Planted of old; her azure lakes between,
Poured out extensive, and of watry wealth
Full; winding deep and green, her fertile vales,
With many a cool translucent, brimming flood
Washed lovely, from the Tweed, pure parent stream,
Whose pastoral banks first heard my Doric reed,
With sylvan Jed, thy tributary brook,
To where the north-inflated tempest foams. James Thomson, 1700-1748
Title of this poem is unknown, but can be found here.
Byways of the Scottish Border; "Jethart's Here!".
Etymology: Latin incultus, from in- + cultus, past participle of colere to cultivate. Date: 1599.

hOMEWORK:
THE ELITE cultural Mafia's in NY seems so inculted with Hillary (despite her criminal flaws, personal hysterical temper, tyrannical obsessivices and socialist mores) that one is forced to wonder if they HAVE any minds at all.
Or are they mere followers, lulled into a Nazi-like cult of hatred for America and the American culture.

The incult ravings of the anti-smokers gives further proof of the brainwashed cult mentality of them.

I realize
this news item is rather incult, but I couldn't help but be tickled by that headline. Misanthropes such as myself have been saying that for years, and we didn't even need the Brits to do a survey first.

Given her shape that must have been some diet they put her on for that movie..You've never heard of flesh colored girdles?
To: Just another Joe
I'm going to have to do both a computer file and print outs.
And I've got 11 of them to do.
OTOH, the payment will more than cover my costs for Jax in school for a month!!!!

Maybe it's UNpolite and UNpertinent, but the running of the global forums by incult and incivilized nations deserves a homegrown American
response.

LOL, just give us time, we can come up with the answer. I like the PowerPoint option, because you can put a lot of information in those little blocks. ;-)

I think of her as an independant woman making her own way, not depending on anyone else to pay her way. She is secure enough in who she is to allow the world to see her as she really is.
and that is rare and admirable.
