I severely cannot wait for this work day to be over.

In the interest of broadening your vocabulary (and because I'm so tired I can't even think of anything creative to say), I give you-

THE WORDS O' THE DAY: (brought to you by the lack of caffeine, so do not question me)


 

prima facie \PRY-muh-FAY-shee\ - adverb: At first view; on the first appearance, -adjective: true, valid, or adequate at first sight. Ostensible, self-evident. Obvious. Sufficient to establish a fact or a case unless disproved. Ex: "...riches are prima facie evidence of unethical behavior." -Robin W. Winks, Laurance S. Rockefeller: Catalyst for Conservation

 

defenestration \dE-fe-n'strA-shn\ - noun: A throwing of a person or thing out of a window (from the Latin word for "window" [fenestra]). Ex: "I would like to expose my president to the act of defenestration." - Amanda A.

 

egress \EE-gress\ - noun: The act of going out or leaving, or the right or freedom to leave; departure. A means of going out or leaving; an exit; an outlet. Ex: "In order to keep the crowds moving through the exhibits in his traveling show...Mr. [P.T] Barnum posted signs that read: 'This Way to the Egress'. Eager to view this presumably strange and exotic exhibit, the throngs would push through the door labeled 'Egress' - and find themselves in the street". - Laurie A. O'Neill, "Almanac Is Itself a Rare Occurence" New York Times, December 27, 1981

 

obeisance \oh-BEE-suhn(t)s; oh-BAY-suhn(t)s\ - noun: An expression of deference or respect, such as a bow or curtsy. Deference, homage. As in "Make obeisance right to the floor, scum-sucking maggot." - Amanda A.

 

Great herds of swine, could this day possibly drag any slower? Methinks no. I've had it with people today. It seriously scares me that people can be so utterly… stupid!! The only thing that's getting me through this day is the Dr. Pepper (aka drink sent from heaven) I'm getting the second I'm released from this Gulag, and the promise of a hot shower. Praisealluia. I can literally taste my Razzmatazz right this second (& yes that's a stupid name and I do not give a dang because it is giving me will to live). It's going to taste especially good because all I've eaten today is -well- some kind of funky crackers. If anyone ever offers me this again, I think I’ll throw myself in front of a speeding train rather than consume it, for it is a foul, foul meal. I'm pretty sure that sentence is a grammarian's bane, but I care not.

 

Quotes for the day:

"If you get in a mud fight with a pig, you will get dirty, and the pig will be happy."

"He who angers you, conquers you." -E. Kenny
