Word of the Day for Tuesday, June 23, 2009pule \PYOOL\, intransitive verb: To whimper; to whine. The first lady initially flourished as a wronged wife precisely because she endured her humiliation so stoically; she did not whine or pule or treat her pain as license to behave badly. But my self-absorbed fretting and puling always come to an abrupt end with some surprise gift. Pule is perhaps from French piauler, "to whine, to pule," ultimately of imitative origin. | |||||||||
