The Dapper Word of the Day
FuzzButt - Our word of the day is 'zeppole'. A 'zeppole' is a type of doughnut, often served with powdered sugar. Now WetNose will show us the zeppole that his lovely wife made for him to show to us today!
WetNose - I'm sorry FuzzButt, but it looked so delicious that I consumed it.
FuzzButt - You consumed our example?
WetNose - I do apologize, I really do. But fear not, I'll have Molly whip up another batch straight away!
FuzzButt - Don't bother, I have a picture in my vest here somewhere . . .
The Dapper Word of the Day
FuzzButt - Our word of the day is 'brackish'. It means 'somewhat salty'. Now WetNose will use it in a sentence for us.
WetNose - Yes, just let me tell you about my outing today. I took my lovely wife Molly and the boys down to the beach!
FuzzButt - And how did you find it?
WetNose - Well, the recent rain had stirred up the surf a bit, so I found it to be a bit brackish. But it was lovely nonetheless!
FuzzButt - Well done, WetNose. Brackish.
WetNose - It was!
The Dapper Word of the Day
FuzzButt - Our word of the day is 'lachrymose'. It means 'given to tears or weeping'. Now WetNose will use 'lachrymose' in a sentence in order to demonstrate its use.
WetNose - I'm afraid I'm really not in the mood, FuzzButt.
FuzzButt - Oh? Why not, my good fellow?
WetNose - Well you see, I've just returned from a funeral. One of the old rabbits passed away just yesterday. A very sad business all around.
FuzzButt - Oh dear, that's quite terrible.
WetNose - Yes, the most lachrymose mourners went through five boxes of tissues and my best monogrammed handkerchief.
FuzzButt - This is why you don't give handkerchiefs to rabbits, WetNose. They'll go through your whole supply if you let them.
The Dapper Word of the Day
FuzzButt - Our word of the day is 'hardihood'. It means 'resolute courage and fortitude.' Now WetNose will attempt to use it in a sentence.
WetNose - What do you mean 'attempt'?
FuzzButt - I'm merely implying that you might not be up to the task old boy. You have been rather listless recently.
WetNose - Listless? Why I never! I take after my dear grandmother. She attributed her hardihood to taking tea three times a day, and so do I!
FuzzButt - Quite right WetNose, what could I have been thinking?
WetNose - I haven't the foggiest notion.
The Dapper Word of the Day
FuzzButt - Our word of the day is 'poculent'. It means 'fit for drinking'. Now WetNose will use it in a sentence.
WetNose - Yes, in just a minute. FuzzButt have you tried this new tea yet?
FuzzButt - No, I haven't. Is it any good?
WetNose - Yes, I sampled it and found it to be quite poculent.
FuzzButt - Excellent, I'll have a cup.
The Dapper Word of the Day
Fuzzbutt - Our word of the day is 'vafrous'. It means to be 'crafty, cunning, or sly'. Now WetNose will give us an example of the word 'vafrous'.
WetNose - Not right now FuzzButt, I'm busy trying to catch that blasted fox.
FuzzButt - What has he done?
WetNose - He keeps sneaking into the chicken coop I have set up out back and making off with my hens. He's a vafrous beast, but I'll get him eventually.
FuzzButt - And there you have it. Vafrous.
WetNose - Pardon?
The Dapper Word of the Day
FuzzButt - Our word of the day is 'aposiopesis'. It is a rhetorical device and means 'to suddenly stop in the middle of a speech for emphasis'. Now WetNose will give us an example of the use of aposiopesis.
WetNose - I'll what?
FuzzButt - Show us how to use aposiopesis in a sentence.
WetNose - You must be joking.
FuzzButt - I most certainly am not! Now get on with it.
WetNose - Oh bugger it. FuzzButt, if I ever get hold of you I'll . . .
FuzzButt - And that is an example of the use of aposiopesis, ladies and gentlemen! Well done.
