George Will's Word of the Day

From his June 2 column...

Prorogue, according to Webster's New World Dictionary, Third College Edition:
vt. - to terminate a session of (e.g. a parlaiment); to postpone.

Used in context of Will's column:
"So the Labour Party can sooner rather than later say to Blair what Cromwell said when proroguing the Rump Parliament: 'It is not fit that you should sit here any longer!'"

I wish drivers on the freeway would 'prorogue' their cell phone use while driving their SUV's in the lane next to me.
