Here's one: http://vleeptron.blogspot.com/2005/08/why-...r-earliest.html

[mrs jesus]

stop whoring your blog. do you see me whoring my blog?

no, you don't, and that's because i don't want to fool people into thinking that just because i am incredibly awesome on here that that means my blog is incredibly awesome as well.

 

and your words don't count because this is not your word of the day thread.

[jameskpolka]

I just thought it was a cool word, never seen it before. It's hard to put words here. Lot of hostility.

[Crusader]

Christy's hostile to everyone.

 

THink nothinng of it Bob.

[mrs jesus]

i most certainly am not hostile.

 

god. ;)

[jameskpolka]

well, she's hostile AND i was whoring my blog. the world is big enough for both things.

 

somebody let me know when or if i can post another word.

 

this is where i learned "asshat." I think I've used it 200 times already on my whatchamacallit.

[mrs jesus]

you can never post another word unless you make your OWN word of the day thread because this is not yours, duh, it's not as complicated as you are making it out to be, ok?

[jameskpolka]

okay, well then I want clepsydra back. you can't have it.

[ecnarf]

Can I whore my blog too?

[mrs jesus]

Can I whore my blog too?

yes, but whore the not boring political one

[Dan #3]

Oh shits, jameskpolka's still around?

 

;)

[jameskpolka]

i'm old, but I'm not dead. and i still like words. but apparently i just can't supply them here. if anybody wants some words, e-mail me in the alley behind the dumpster. i'm still giving them away for free.

[Dan #3]

I'll make you eat them.

caesura \sih-ZHUR-uh; -ZUR-\, noun;

plural caesuras or caesurae \sih-ZHUR-ee; -ZUR-ee\:

 

1. A break or pause in a line of verse, usually occurring in the middle of a line, and indicated in scanning by a double vertical line; for example, "The proper study || of mankind is man" [Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man].

2. Any break, pause, or interruption.

 

Caesura comes from Latin caesura, "a cutting off, a division, a stop," from the past participle of caedere, "to cut."

[saturnine]

leitmotif \LYT-moh-teef\, noun:

1. In music drama, a marked melodic phrase or short passage which always accompanies the reappearance of a certain person, situation, abstract idea, or allusion in the course of the play; a sort of musical label.

2. A dominant and recurring theme.

 

Each actor to appear on stage is accompanied by a musical phrase on the drum -- a sort of leitmotif to characterize an emotion, much like a Wagnerian drama.

--Eleanor Blau, "Connecticut's Shakespeare," New York Times, July 9, 1982

 

One theme had recurred so frequently in these conversations that it had become the leitmotif of the trip.

--Jack F. Matlock, Jr., Autopsy on an Empire

 

As is so often the case in a crazy household . . . guilt becomes a leitmotif.

--Frederick Busch, "My Brother, Myself," New York Times, February 9, 1997

 

Such sudden whims, seeming to fly in the face of conventional expectations but really motivated by profound, if unexamined, psychological needs, become a leitmotif of the novel, whose chief concern is whether people can ever claim to know themselves -- or one another -- at all.

--Elizabeth Tallent, " 'Thou Shalt Settle for Less and Less,' " New York Times, May 7, 1989

 

Leitmotif, also spelled leitmotiv, is from German Leitmotiv, "leading motif," from leiten, to lead (from Old High German leitan) + Motiv, motif (from the French). It is especially associated with the operas of German composer Richard Wagner.
