Word For The Day, Thursday, August 28, 2003
The Verbivores | 8/28/03 | Teacher

Posted on 08/28/2003 5:09:55 AM PDT by RikaStrom

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. Practice makes perfect.....post on....


tacit \ta*sit\, adjective:
tacitness; noun
tacitly; adverb

  1. Not spoken: indicated tacit approval by smiling and winking.
    1. Implied by or inferred from actions or statements: Management has given its tacit approval to the plan.
    2. Law. Arising by operation of the law rather than through direct expression.
  2. Archaic. Not speaking; silent

    The tacit and secret theft of abusing our brother in civil contracts.
    --Jer. Taylor

    Etymology: [Latin tacitus, silent, past participle of tac re, to be silent.]

Good Morning Students. Welcome to class!

Class is now in session. The rules are simple; you get a grade if you use the WFTD in a sentence, haiku, limerick, or quatrain. You get a "+" if you make a link, or make the teacher laugh, or you offer the appropriate bribes. I hold the grade book; the whip and chair.

I don't have a specific example today, so y'all will just have to muddle along.

Tacit agreement
A conservative's downfall
Action is needed!

Here is someone without a tacit bone in their body. No thought is left unspoken.

Sounds like a victim defense to me. Not a camle type response at all.

Nothing tacit in this article about the bizarre weather conditions, it's just further proof that nobody really knows how to predict the weather.

Morning Miss Rika. Why are people blaming some nameless pranster for being tardy? I got her on time because I slept here.

Camle, you know better than to fall for the "mail just before classroom opening" game.

Fat Ted's tacit borking of Daniel Pipes just goes to show how someone so BIG can really be so small.....
