Afternoon, folks! Happy Thursday the 12th and Friday the 13th for those of you have have slipped into the new day - I figure I'm safe as long as at least one US state is still Thursday!

Today's word is:

Cordiform [kor-dih-form]
adjective

Defininition
Heart-shaped. Simple enough!

Etymology
From Latin cordi, heart + formus, taking the shape of.

Usage
Jake had totally forgotten that it was his anniversary, and in an act regularly seen in sitcoms (along with one guy dating two girls at the same time at the dance and failing miserably, and the husband losing his wedding ring and spend more effort hiding it than finding it) he raced around town looking for something vaguely cordiform to give his girlfriend. It was going so well, too, until she reminded him that their anniversary was the day before.

1. What is your new favorite iphone app?
I've grown rather fond of the Fertility Menstrual Calendar that tells me when I'm ovulating but doesn't ask me if I'm on the pill. muahaha
2. If you won the lottery but you had to give it all away who would you give it to? Why?
Why would I be placed in this situation? I need money! I suppose the Michigan Humane Society, or some other shelter of some sort. Animals need help, too. People are always all "we help animals and poor people in other countries, but what do we do for the poor people here?" ya know what I say? wtf am I paying Social Security for if I'm not helping the poor? I also donate old clothes and blood. /rant
3. Are you coming to my birthday party?! (This is more of a demand than a question)
idfk haha. I'm in the process of quitting petsmart so I'm trying to squeeze as much out of them as possible. Plus I can't leave my pets alone for too long, plus you're 8 billion miles away from me now.
4. What is your favorite book of all time?
Demon in My View by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes - this was really hard to decide you bitch. If you want reading material, go for this new series that started earlier this year. The first book gripped me from cover to cover, but I haven't had the budget to order the second one yet. Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
5. Do you know the latest on Nick? I miss that kid and his bath tub antics.
haha, when I first read that I was like "who the fuck is Nick???" How the hell could I forget my first uncircumcised dick? I have no idea what's up with him. I barely talk to Ali anymore. I'm sure she's also trying hard not to stay in contact with his mother.

I am getting over an all-nighter and am very tired. I welcome anyone's attempt at a sentence.

Whoops, a little late again - sorry! At least it's still Thursday somewhere in the US!

Today's word is one of my favourites, because it lets you insult people whilst, at worst, them not knowing what you're saying and, at best, them thinking it's a compliment!

Mendicant [men-di-kant]
adjective or noun

Adj., Begging, the characteristics of a beggar.
Noun., Beggar.

From Latin mendīcare, to beg, from mendīcus, needy, beggar, from mendum, physical defect.

Usage
Larry and Frank had been friends for years, both living homeless, but still managing to survive nonetheless. Today, Frank was a bit down and started to talk about giving up and just ending it all by getting himself cleaned up, some nice clothes and getting a job. Larry would have none of that, though! Shaking Frank firmly by the shoulders he shouted "Enough, Frank! That's loser talk! Are you a mendican or a mendicant!?"

While this may have been an exaggeration on her part, my sister currently living in France once told me that she believed she knew no French man who did not philander.


My apologies to any French people here; this is just a sentence with no factual basis.
