Alright, while some of you may choose not to participate, I'm hoping that is not the case... I know it's a "word post," so I apologize at the outset for falling prey to my own defaults. However, since I received only 2 posts outside of my own on the last entry, I would greatly enjoy seeing some more interaction this time 'round. Okie dokie, here

My word of the day is now officially "brill."

I kind of did this backwards because I needed a new word to reflect the way I feel so this is the new word.

Definition - to loudly express displeasure; to bellow, roar, howl

My "brilling" needs to be done towards an unnamed institution.

Synonym - since the word brill is the synonym for many other words and since thesaurus.com does not even recognize the word, I suppose I shall give you the normal meaning, or as close as I could come up with...brill = boisterous venting!

How come all of your posters abandon you at the first sign of them having to do something? It is kind of depressing because I love reading what your readers have to say!

Good question! I think a lot of them are tired of my "word posts," so that could be the reason.
