Ugh Oh ! SHOTS FIRED !
Accolades to whimever stuck there ass out in the breeze for this one! Do you like my new word ( whimever ) ? Taken over from whomever in the post. LOL ! It's OK ! It is Monday !
Word of the Day : April 29, 2019
accolade
noun AK-uh-layd
Definition :
1 a : a mark of acknowledgment : award.
b : an expression of praise.
2 a : a ceremonial embrace.
b : a ceremony or salute conferring knighthood.
3 : a brace or a line used in music to join two or more staffs carrying simultaneous parts.
Did You Know ?
Accolade was borrowed into English in the 16th century from French. The French noun, in turn, derives from the verb accoler, which means "to embrace," and ultimately from the Latin term collum, meaning "neck." (Collum is also an ancestor of the English word collar.) When it was first borrowed from French, accolade referred to a ceremonial embrace that once marked the conferring of knighthood. The term was later extended to any ceremony conferring knighthood (such as the more familiar tapping on the shoulders with the flat part of a sword's blade), and eventually extended to honors or awards in general.
Examples :
"Black Panther has become the No. 1 movie of the year in North America ($700 million) and No. 2 worldwide ($1.35 billion) and has earned a slew of accolades including Critics' Choice, Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations." — Joi Childs, Hollywoodreporter.com, 7 Jan. 2019
"One by one, members around the table gave accolades to Smedley for his assistance over the years in a number of areas, including grant writing, training and community events." — Linda Hall, The Daily Record (Wooster, Ohio), 8 Feb. 2017.

Some people are happy to write their own medal citations, giving themselves accolades they may or may not have earned.

Good early morning, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell I just saw your post :-) Whimever, whosit, watchamacallit, and other informally ambiguous accolades may be the stuff of sarcasm, innuendo or sincere apathy, after all :-)

"The Accolade", by the progressive metal band Symphony X, from the album "The Divine Wings of Tragedy".
Lyrics:
Into the morning sun
Down his chosen road he rides to
save the world
Cross of crimson, robe of white
Sworn to the quest for the rest of
his life
Play shields and wooden swords
Slaying dragons as a knight of
Arthur's Court
Trained to kill, to sing a song
Youthful hope to right the wrong
Sons of Antioch
An angel's voice cries out to him
Free the holy lands,
bring peace to it again
Across the seas through sands of time
Knight of the Templar
A charging steed through lands unkind
A legend forever
A heart of gold pumps within his metal skin
A noble line he carries on
[Dual Solo]
Braving the bloody din
Silver spurs are justly earned by
strength within
Squire to knight,
like prince to king
Chalice of life completes the ring
Into the morning sun
Down his chosen road he rides to
save the world
Across the seas through sands of time
Knight of the Templar
A charging steed through lands unkind
A legend forever
To see the light he spent his life
to understand
The sword he once held tight,
falls forever from his hands
Across the seas through sands of time
Knight of the Templar
A charging steed through lands unkind
A legend forever"

LTC Stephen F.
Since accolade means a mark of accomplishment of praise Safir Rahndom, the title is very appropriate. It is modeled on odes of old to praise valiant warriors in song.
