I'm considering doing your homework merely because writing sentences is fun for me; I remember middle school, and I absolutely loved homework like this. :D

I imagine it will be to your detriment, however, if you don't do it yourself. Why don't you post 10 sentences and then we'll go from there?

[Virgil]

Don't do his homework Shout. He's too lazy to do it himself.

[xbit_11]

haha yea, it is my homework but I did it in computer science earlier today and when I went to print it out the ink was out so I couldn't get it. Yes, I am too lazy to rewrite them mainly because i forgot most of them. I am interested in how you guys interpret these sentences so it could possibly help me in the future. Also this isn't a every day occurence, this is just a one time thing and i was just looking for some help. I understand if you don't want to! thanks!

"The student was instructed to construct a sentence containing the word 'terpsichorean'."

"All of Flushing was metaphoric until the Cardinals won the pennant."

No, it has to be a sentence using the word AND the meaning at the same time..good try..i guess lol

No progress in the last 4 hours?

[xbit_11]

Not really?

[xbit_11]

The ones I'm having trouble with are Metaphoric and perfidious

[xbit_11]

"The metaphoric language in Milton's prose is often used to highlight the perfidiousness of Anglican bishops towards their flocks."

[ennison]

For the millionth time stop exaggerating! OOPS! Hyperbole

[xbit_11]

thanks! anymore?

[cuppajoe_9]

Whiff, you eloquent fascist.

[Whifflingpin]

It is no hyperbole to say that I, xenophobic as I am, would vent my dispeptic rage, not surreptitiously nor in any metaphoric way, but in open and tangible terpsichorean exercises on the graves of those perfidious foreigners whose words, so incongruent with the truth, muddy the limpid waters of diplomacy.

[PeterL]

Yes, that would have been a fun assignment to have.

[dejitaru]

Wow, you even misspelled a few of them. Way to go.

I say Google them. Invariably, you'll find the words used in sentences on other pages.

Perfidious Guy Fawkes is a well known British traitor.

Sorry, best I got.

[Whifflingpin]

"Perfidious Guy Fawkes"

Hauh - Guy Fawkes is known as the only man to have entered Parliament with honest intentions.

[Dreamur]

The audience while observng the terpsichorean prancing of the actors, began to spout xenophobic hyperbole in their dyspeptic rage at having been surreptitiously bamboozled out of their daily wages. The highly metaphoric Maestro, in a manner incongruent with his normal modis operandi, had concocted a perfidious plan to abscond with his ill gotten gains, but was later apprehended as he strolled down by the limpid waters of the Potomac river park.

Talk about absurdist theatre.

Ok, I'm doing this because I'm an idiot, butI can't resist word game stuff!
:idea:
1) His terspsichorean inclinations made her embarassed to date him as he was quite likely to start discodancing in the middle of the street!
2) If anyone thinks literally I haven't been around the forums for a milion years, they are either certainly using hyperbole or they just plain don't know to count.
3) It is sometimes impossible not to laugh when kids take our metaphoric use of language literally and want to know when God will have finished washing all his clothes as I was stupid enough to make such a question begging statement on a rainy day.
4. He declared that he could drown in the limpid pools of her deep blue eyes and she told him to stop talking like a Mills and Booon Romance hero!:lol:
5.She puts up with his occasional bouts of dyspeptic behaviour because they are usually followed by extremely apologetic and cheerful scenes.;)
6) I still don't know why I broke up with my best friend, it's nothing tangible, but it's always there nagging at the back of my mind.
7) It really was a funny scene yesterday night when I caught my diabetic father surreptitiously trying to get some icecream out of the fridge; in a way it was pathetic too. :bawling:
8) The teacher told us that the question about our grades was quite incongruent, since we were all going to fail anyway!:flare:
9) I'm always afraid of running into Xenophobic creeps:sick: whenever I join a new forum; it hasn't happened so far,thank God!
10) One of the guys in my class had the cheek to dclare that it was ALWAYS women who were perfidious in relationships- did Iever enjoy myself, giving examples to the contrary!:D

OK, let me have a go at the biggie this time:

You will probably think I'm using a heck of a lot of Hyperbole when you hear this story, but not if you keep in mind that it involves my brother with his terspichorean tendencies, my dyspeptic uncle, the xenophobic guy from next door who's always surreptitiously tryto get us in trouble, me, whose limpid eyes were pools of tears as I was thinking of my perfidious ex-boyfriend and a burly policeman who said all our excuses were incongrous and that we could just stop talking in that stupid metaphoric fashion as what he wanted was tangible proof, well then you will be quite ready to accept my story as it is!:D

And I am in non metaphorical, literal terms an idiot doing people's homework for themm, but the words were just too tempting to resit!:blush:

Hi Basil, Sorry I didn't quite get that one. Meaning, please?:confused:
