Impeccable
IMPECCABLE, adj. Not liable to detection.
2010 Update: Granted only one appraisal, unuttered.
Is it possible for one to be peckishly impeccable, or perhaps impeccably peckish? The word verification is "freadi." This is erroneous, seeing as today is "Moandi."
Mo'a, Dahling, lovely to make your acquaintance! "Moandi" was simply a silly, tired play on words on my account, meant to sound a bit like "Moan-day," or "Monday," which most people think of as a Moan-Day because they must work. I do not work on Mondays, but every day is a bit of a Moan-Day for me, as I live with a chronic pain condition!

Impeccable: My 96 years old Father...only because my Mother lays out his clothes every morning...Icelandic you know.
ReplyDeleteMe: Only when Mother is looking.
skyla...can't make anything of that...as I am still trying to figure out what "Moandi" means.
I have never been accused of being impeccable in anything
ReplyDeleteImpeccable, someone trying to keep up the most tiring pose. :-P
ReplyDeleteOh Tempest and Mo'a ...
ReplyDeleteThis is so thrilling. Pia the Charming Savage and Ariel the Exotic Thief have arrived for tea!
Ladies shall we all have biscuits with jam now? How about some buttery ousinc, which is my word verification!
Texas lawyer requirement: a person of impeccable character.
ReplyDeleteThought you might like to know. I can always vouch for the character part, I'm not always sure of the impeccable part.
Some say it's an oxymoron.

Did Quilly visit your impeccable Monday Microfiction yet?

IMPECCABLE, adj. - Surely not the US Congress. Let's hope that changes in November. Highly doubtful however.
ReplyDeleteha ha @Boobsquid ---> I won Punny Monday and you did not.

ReplyDeleteImpeccable: Unable to be pecked. Top of the pecking order. Usually a rooster.

Tempest, I think not impossible. You're making progress.
ReplyDeleteMo'a, behind every impeccable man is a woman making adjustments.
Pia, maybe but you're not especially peccable.
Ariel, that's the perfect definition.
Karen, no ousinc before noon, according to Miss Manners.
Jim, we need a definition for REQUIREMENT, I think. I've known some Texas lawyers.
Thom, not if we elect someone.
Tempest, I'm pretty sure no offense was taken, although I wouldn't speak for anyone lest I give offense.
TLP, or a mean hen.
Yellow flag, Quilly.
Bear, among the things I don't regret lacking in Sacramento, DC or at barbecues is perfection.
Actonbell, that's interesting. I can see that.
Enjoy your tea party, Karen.
