The Word of the Day for August 07, 2010 is: TWEE • \TWEE\ • adjective : affectedly or excessively dainty, delicate, cute, or quaint Example Sentence: I stood in the greeting card section of the store reading through the selections, looking for one that would express my affection and appreciation without being intolerably twee. Did you know? Most adults wouldn't be caught dead saying, "Oh, look at the tweet 'ittle birdie!" (at least not to anyone over the age of three), but they probably wouldn't be averse to saying, "He went fishing with his dad," "She works as a nanny," or "Hey, buddy, how's it going?" Anyone who uses "dad," "nanny," or "buddy" owes a debt to "baby talk," a term used for both the childish speech adults adopt when addressing youngsters and for the speech of small children who are just learning to talk. "Twee" also originated in baby talk, as an alteration of "sweet." In the early 1900s, it was a term of affection, but nowadays British speakers and writers, and, increasingly, Americans as well, use "twee" for things that have passed beyond agreeable and into the realm of cloying.
And another entry fromthe Redneck dictionary of Medical terms.
DILATE = To live a long time. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I won't use Twee, and Dilate is something I strive for!

The Word of the Day for August 08, 2010 is: EMINENTLY • \EM-uh-nunt-lee\ • adverb : to a high degree : very Example Sentence: "The village is eminently walkable and packed with attractions for foodies, shoppers, history buffs, and children." (Ellen Albanese, The Boston Globe, June 30, 2010) Did you know? When British physician Tobias Venner wrote in 1620 of houses "somewhat eminently situated," he used "eminently" in a way that now seems unusual. Venner meant that the houses were literally located in a high place, but that lofty use of "eminently" has since slipped into obsolescence. "Eminently" traces to the Latin term "eminēre," which means "to stand out." In its first documented English uses in the 15th century, the term meant "conspicuously," but that sense, like the elevated one we mentioned earlier, is now obsolete. The figurative sense for which the word is best known today began appearing in English texts in the mid-1600s.
AND nOW THIS:
ENEMA = NOT a friend!

The current leaders of the USA have made the American peoples eminently dependent on government assistance.
