Some variances acceptable if they make you laugh.

I wonder if I should have prorogued my purchase of the Sony PRS-700 until they had a DICTIONARY for it!

(As I had to drag out this big huge World Book dictionary with little tiny print to look up this word!)

The whole point of the exercise is to look up the meaning, if you don't know it, then post a sentence using it.
When I get bad sinus, I like to listen to Pink Floyd, because prorogue cheers be ub.

Thursday Feb 2, 2009 Word of the Week - Bezel

I was going to let this thread die, since I didn't encounter any interesting words in posts last week, but due to late breaking news we have a winner.

This weeks word is Bezel(s).

Bezel was used twice in the following quote:

Quote:

In this case that means bezels. I am sure that they will work long and hard to increase the top and bottom bezels to complete the geometric beauty of their device.
Once more in the following quote:
Quote:

I was packing up my 700 and it occurred to me to snap a couple of pictures before I sent it off. If I had to guess, I'd say the dust is getting in through the seam between the metal and the gray bezel surrounding the screen. The pictures aren't so great, but it's a pain to get a nice shot in the dark without the flash.
Give us another example of the use of bezel(s) in a sentence.

How about "Shezels bezels by the Azores".

WDE, there´s an "r" missing; it must be brezel (since the kindle - as we´ve finally learned in the kindle thread - is for reading AND cooking).

Looks like the big salted pretzels you can buy from street vendors in major cities in North America.

I'll need desertgrandma's opinion to see if this is allowable, since she is the Kindle fan and cooking fan, when blowing away that smoke when her red element covers catch fire.

He was always one for sitting on the fence, until, that is, gravity caused him to slide down the bezel; he was, thereafter, no longer in his prime.

She was climbing the dike, when all of a sudden she lost her footing, tumbled down the bezel and into the canal.

The man from Brazil was suspected of embezzling bezel cut diamonds from his girl's best friend, a jeweler by trade, but was finally caught when he tripped over the bezeled embankment in the sidewalk, while stealing a glance at himself in a storefront's beveled-edge mirror. Vanity was ultimately his downfall.

Thursday Febrary 12, 2009 Word of the Week is Pica

Word of the week, one day late and courtesy of rebarnmom and pshrynk, is pica.

Some chatter salvaged this week on the subject....there is more than one defintion.

Quote:

(I'm sure someone can come up with a better, technically accurate word or name for this than I.)

It's interesting to note that the other definition of the word deals with the size of print.
"She has pica for consuming books with a pica of nine."
Plus we have a late breaking synonym:
