Your RBR Word of the Day: sanguine

by Todd on Mar 5, 2009 8:00 AM CST

sanguine \SANG-gwin\, adjective;
1. cheerfully optimistic, hopeful, or confident
2. reddish; ruddy
3. (in old physiology) having blood as the predominating humor and consequently being ruddy-faced, cheerful, etc.
4. blood-red; red
5. Heraldry. a reddish-purple tincture.

noun:
1. a red iron-oxide crayon used in making drawings

Its my belief that Terrence Cody became such an instant fan favorite not because of his size or athleticism, but because of his sanguine nature in interviews and general "I'm just happy to be here" attitude.

Hey!`

I never had that color “sanguine” in my 64-color Crayola set (with bonus sharpener). I’m gonna give it a look-see right now!

Whoa! I do. I do have that color!

Comer4tide to Nico2.0: "How come I've never heard of any of your random songs?"
Todd to Comer: "Because if you had, he wouldn't listen to it. BOOM. Roasted."
Nico to Todd: "Shouldn't you be off voguing somewhere?"

You know, from the headshot

he doesnt look like a 385 pounder. I still believe if he continued to lift weights and dropped about 35 lbs, he would be even more of a monster. I know a lot of folks think his fame/abilities are dependent on his size, but I digress. The kid has a motor and he enjoys knocking heads. I remember the first good tackle he got in the Clemson game, you could see the joy poring out of his veins. THANK GOD he is coming back for an encore.

ChineseDentist ez my heros!
