The Fayre Word for 12/16/06...

It appears as those double editions of The Fayre Word are becoming more common...not because I intend it to be that way, but because things are wild and crazy...I can count on one hand the number of hours that I've been home since we got up this morning. I think we went to 13 or 14 different places today to try to finish up our Christmas shopping.

Anyway, here's today's word:

cajole \kuh-JOHL\ (verb)
1 a :
to persuade with flattery or gentle urging especially in the face of reluctance; coax
b :
to obtain from someone by gentle persuasion
2 :
to deceive with soothing words or false promises

And yesterday's word:

heterodox \HET-uh-ruh-dahks\ (adj.)
1 : contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard, a traditional form, or an established religion; unorthodox, unconventional
2 : holding unorthodox opinions or doctrines

And what, you ask, is a good way to end the day? With a Cowboy's win!
