Inveigle

Thanks to Websters-Word-Of-The-Day the word today is:

The Word of the Day for November 25 is:

inveigle \in-VAY-gul\ verb

*1 : to win over by wiles : entice
2 : to acquire by ingenuity or flattery : wangle

Example sentence:
Not wanting to attend the gallery opening by herself, Alice tried to inveigle Glen into accompanying her.

My sentence:

How am I going to inveigle you all to come add to this group?

Something creative:

There once was a woman who'd rather

Spend most of her time on gather

For points she was finagling

And connections inveigling

But the problem was her writing was blather

Yvette inveigles Kevin (hearts squared) V to answer her Gather questions by batting her long eyelashes and feigning ignorance.

Yeah, Yvette, I've got your number! ;-)

Joanne, Peter,
So glad I could inveigle the two of you over here! I love your lines!

Joanne: Who me? Feigning ignorance? No way! Although I do like to bat my eyelashes and can't wait until gather comes up with flirty emoticons.

Peter: Cool New Yawkish, Yiddish accent! I bet Martha and Hammy inveilgle with bagels.
