Word of the Day: Ladylike

Published on

Function: adjective

1.  The appearance of being elegant and well-bred, an appearance that I have clearly passed on to my daughter.

2.  Becoming or suitable to a lady.

a.  For example, a lady would turn her head while belching after a keg stand.

b.  She would also never light a fart on fire… if she were wearing a dress.  Because a lady knows PANTS are most easily permeated by noxious gases.

3.   A term derived from the Latin word RoseanneBarrus.
