Samanayrs

"Hello..." Crack says in a soft almost inaudible voice as she peeks out from behind a large chalk board, a small piece of white chalk in her mouth. Her large eyes seem creepy… yet their stare seems to lure you closer to investigate what is going on. As you get closer she begins to emerge, closing her eyes in happiness, because she is excited you have come to join her! Though she looks scary and odd… She is quite the intellectual! Hard to believe… I know, but stop by this thread every day or two and you will see her ‘USE HER NEW WORDS’.

This thread is meant to be a fun place for everyone to come and learn! Or teach ;D You are more than welcome to comment on the word of the day, post a sam you feel represents this word or whos favorite word it is, and even add one of your own! (If you would like to post the word of the day please PM RG or post in this thread your requested day so RG can let Crack know that she has a day off Make sure your word is Sam community friendly)

**Note: Not all the words HAVE to be…real? You just need to be sure to put a definition of your word. (Example: Thingamajig – An item or object that has multiple parts) simple and fun right?**


With that being said… here is Crack and her first word of the day!

Crack scowls as RG puts the spot light on her, she hates light. “Ehem” She says as she clears her throat.

“Todays word is:
Pelf– Noun - Ill-gotten wealth; booty.

Pronounced : 'PELF'

In a sentence / common use of the word:"You have to be here for a while before this kind of arrogance comes naturally, and the Republican freshmen show no early signs of wanting to stay for the perks of pelf and power. They understand that the only cure for it is a boot in the butt."
--Wesley Pruden, "The Freshmen Apply a Spine Stiffener", in the Washington Times

Crack slowly finishes her entry on the chalk board and looks at you once more with her large eyes.

SEE? Now… USE YOUR NEW WORD!"

*snorts* Pelf. I'm so using that in a story...

XD RG. This wouldnt stem from our earlier conversation on the other thread now would it? x3 I love this idea! If you have a day that Crack wants the day off, I'd be happy to!

^_^ Yes it is! It got me inspired and well... Crack piped in and said she wants to share her knowledge with you all.

I would share my word but I'm too overprotective. Buhahaha XD Pelf... that's interesting though, very new

She is very protective of her word. She used to hit me when I used it~! <3 Love you Dapples!

Crack <3 You're so cute.

As for a Sam that demonstrates "pelf", what about that klepto Samanayr!

Pronounced - "peck-yoo-LAY-shun"

--Alexander Hamilton, in "The Federalist Papers" #005#(1788)

Now... go forth and use your NEW word!

*Crack smiles happily at you, hoping that she has given you a new word to add to your internal dictionary*

I see a monetary and ill-begotten streak going on here!

The word "ferus" in Latin means "wild, fierce." That's how we get the word "feral!"

Hello, I'm taking over for Crack today, and I present to you...

THE WORD OF THE DAY

Verboten -Adjective- forbidden as by law or command; prohibited.

Pronounced - ver- BOHT-n (In German: fer-BOHT-n)
