Word of the Day Thread...

Ok boys and girls, I'm going to start a fun educational thread... I am going to post a word, and it will be our word of the day (hence the name of the thread...) then every day someone can post a new word. If you can use the word in normal conversation throughout the day you get a point, and whoever gets the most points wins(no one is actually going to keep up with points, and you aren't going to win anything)...

Today's word is - Clandestine

(today's word is brought to you by kw5413)

Tim

P.s. if you know a good word that isn't used everyday and don't want to wait just go ahead and post it...

Reconnoiter, and I actually used it yesterday in a normal conversation with my wife.
I had to reconnoiter the bird fields prior to hunting the following day.

the purpose of this thread is to obfuscate normal intelligence.

The operations arm of the Central Intelligence Agency has gone through several different name changes. Upon it's 1947 Charter, it was called 'Clandestine Services'. Then, starting in the 1970s, it was changed to the 'Operations Directorate'. The 2000s saw a resurgence in the usage, and ultimately another name change, back to 'Clandestine Services'; in keeping with the 'secret' intelligence gathering of the Agency.


Too much Tim???

You'd have to be pretty obtuse not to understand that.

I like that word also... I'll have to use it sometime(as soon as I find out what it means and how to pronounce it...)

I made up "automagically" when something happens without any reason.

My wife says I have a "markctionary" but if it makes sense use it.
