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....

The enemy has been engaged, and Hitlery got boooooed and we brought out the “Daisy Cutters”! As we continue our battle, remember why we are fighting. The Eagle is awake and demanding retribution. As our President said, “We will not negotiate!”. We will not forget. Please keep those that we have lost, and those who will fight for us, in your prayers. Also too, remember we seem to be the most hated people on the planet, so don’t relax your guard
