Word For The Day

[Slip18]

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....

Subbie Slip is watching you. She has a large telescope with her today. She will be yanking you out of class and into the Janitor’s closet if you are evil, and then maybe sending you off to the Principal’s office to refresh your memory on the usage of his learning stick. And, yes, the paddle has those wondrous holes in them.

flatulence noun:
Pronunciation: flat’u-lens Etymology: Flatus – Latin “ a blowing”

Excessive gas in the stomach and intestines.

Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!

Now, Vast and xsmommy, play nicely in here today with all the other students! Flurry, you behave yourself, otherwise Nurse Helga will take care of your flatulence in a not so nice way.

I heard Principal Robinson is roaming the halls today, so all of you students be on your best behavior.

You must use the WFTD in a sentence for an A. For a + after your “A,” you must bring in a link of the word usage or something funny, a poem or some prose that will elucidate the word for us.

If you need to know how to link, come to the Subbie’s desk in the front of the class.

I did so love Vastie's word, but I just couldn't get it up!

Would these help?

[Eala]

I suppose those bagpipes could be "a blowing." Doncha think?

Och, aye, 'tis an ill wind that naebody blows good.

[xsmommy]

besides, slippy is trying to deduct the cost of this by making it a new student RECRUITMENT thread.... ; )

[Gabz]

Further proof that the anti-smokers are full of more than just flatulence!!!

Beer and obesity: a cross-sectional study

Apparently beer bellies only occur in non-smokers!!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!

Al Frankin's latest literary flatulence proves once again that he is as irrelevant as he is idiotic.

I think Tucker is quite upset because Sean, Brit, Tony and Laz's gay guy get all the attention. Flatulent it out your ear, Tuck.

BTW, I wrote my first e-mail to Tony telling him that I had dibs on him this past weekend. LOL! Well, that's only if Cyber can get dibs on Laurie.

Pat Buchanan's mental flatulnce is easily recognizable in his anti-Bush latest column. Posted here:

Teddy, the swimmer, Kennedy is a flatulent old walrus, blowing a dark wind around Washington with his traitorous foul smelling words.

Flurry would support a flatulence ban, the toxic chemicals are dangerous to public health and he doesn't like the smell!

Perhaps we should apply for a grant to research the effects of second-hand flatulence. I could contribute to the research this morning. It's not bad manners, but good pizza.

Here's some flatulence from some feminists.

Bible for femanists "To demonstrate there's no glass ceiling in heaven, the German Evangelical Church has undertaken the ambitious project of retranslating the Bible in gender-neutral terms."

Specifically, the term disciple is to be changed to "disciples and disciplesses."

Disciplesses?

[Slip18]

At this point, Vastie, anything would help. LOL!

I'm going to give out grades now. Everyone prepare!

[xsmommy]

funny! fat ted came to my mind when i saw the word flatulent, also!

[Slip18]

Sheesh, forgot one of the more important parts of the day. Xsmommy knocked over W. Then Eala came in second. I saw the bruised knee on W, xs. I think his knee needs a kiss. Eala, I only saw you hop over W, so you're in the clear today.

[xsmommy]

miss rika sends her love and says to give kisses on her behalf to all the boys. her computer at home threw up (or at least that was her excuse...)

[Slip18]

Did I do that again? They keep changing the stuff in there where you post articles. I can't keep up with them. I put in "misc," which to me would mean pretty much us.

[xsmommy]

but hey, class attendance is way up!

[Eala]

Former funny Franklen’s flatulent folio fails, falls flat.

[Slip18]

I'm fine over here. Just had a great niece -- well, not me -- my niece had her. Long 'un. Her feet were so long, the nurses couldn't take foot prints. LOL!

The thread will be posted in whichever forum you are in when you click "post article", so if you are in the news forum it will post the thread in news and if you are in the chat forum it will post in chat.

[Slip18]

ROTFLOL! Okay. You can't be this funny and not have been in here before. Just who in the heck are you?

Do you want me to add you to the student list, or would you rather just play it be ear?

Welcome aboard, XIII.
