Is it when you replace the opening section of your fence?
Or a specialty take-away shop where you can buy those horrible chicken nuggets? (Sorry if you like them) Which bit of the chicken is its nugget anyway?
I don �t know what Nugatory is. (My first thought was as Libertybelle said: place somewhere near Purgatory ,but made for Nugs only )
Well my question is somehow related with Apodo �s post: is nugget a piece of chicken? Can it be a piece of other animal, too? i looked it up in the dictionary and I didn �t find anything related to food.
* Of no force or effect; ineffective;
futile; vain.

10 nugatory things we say (by Sharalyn Hartwell)
We all say
things sometimes that are kind of meaningless. Over time we overuse phrases to
the point they are actually inconsequential (basically the definition of
nugatory).
10.Any Web site touting their �new� social
networking feature. (Really? How many Facebooks can we have?)
9.�I�ll start my diet on Monday.� (If you say
that, you are probably never going to.)
8.�But it�s diet/fat-free!� (Whatever makes you
feel better � chances are whatever you are about to consume isn�t that good for
you. The term diet or fat-free doesn�t make it healthy. But we certainly feel
better when say that).
7.�It is what it is.� (We hear this one way too
much in a business setting. Sure it is, so just drop it and move on.)
6.�Needless to say.� (If it�s needless, then
don�t say it.)
5.�She�s/He�s sweet, but�� (The but says it
all, no need to attempt to sugar coat it, with weak imitation Splenda-sugar no
less, by saying he/she is sweet.)
4.�We should get together sometime.� And the
statement ends there. (If you wanted to get together, you would select a time
and do it. No one means this when said that way.)
3.Prefacing or ending a statement with �Bless
his/her heart.� (It doesn�t really make what you just said more polite.)
2.The immediate, knee-jerk �No!� response when
you ask your boyfriend if your pants make you look fat. (Of course he�s going
to say that, what else can he say? You�re not dating a dummy. You can�t trust
that as a response with any validity.)
1.LOL! (We use it so much, there is no way you
are literally laughing out loud each time you write it.)
Hope this
post isn�t a nugatory one!! If it�s too long , just tell me and I�ll delete it.
Hi I bet Linda is right, must be a kind of tree that gives delicious nougats. May be, also, hope not, the tree that gives the so hated chicken nuggets. I think the only chicken they �ve got is the name. LOL
