New Word Time!

Stacy and I were watching E! News the other night before bed. Just as we were about to turn the TV off, one of the hosts verbally and visually assaulted us.

“And FINALLY, Fergie poses for Maxim! Blah blah blah blah.”

Naturally, the visual assault involved images from The Fugness’s picture shoot. I decided then that the word Fug was not enough. There had to be a word that went beyond Fug; something that imparted the strong feelings of revulsion that accompanies viewing celebrities such as Fergie. Then, it came to me!

fergly adj.
1. A person so repulsive that he or she cannot be described by the terms ugly or fugly. (Origination: inspired by media saturation of the pop star Fergie in the mid 2000’s.)

Here’s the word in context.
“Man, Nicole Richie is so fergly, I wouldn’t touch her with Christina Aguilara’s hands!”

Here’s an image in case you don’t know who inspired this new word.

Yo Ho, Web 2.0!

New word time!

"Moblo". No, that's not what the Hollywood starlet said to her sugar daddy.

So Jon and I (where were you. Brian?) went to Web 2.0 training today. Most of the time. we go to these more for the sweet OT that they reward rather than hoping to get much out of them. There's not a lot of demand for anything beyond minor problem-solving skills and ridiculously proprietery knowledge to do our jobs.

However, this training gave me quite a few ideas. There are some technological advances that Web 2.0 is advancing that I will probably look into, such as AJAX and XHTML. I'll be sure to post some of my experiments here.

That's not why I'm blogging tonight, though. You see, I learned a new term today, "Moblog". It stands for "Mobile Blogging", or blogging with a mobile device such as a smart phone, which is exactly what I'm doing right now (I love you, T-Mobile MDA!)

But I can't be bothered with this unwieldly six-letter word! Naw, man, I gots places ta be and shiznit.

So the word is moblo, not moblog.

New Word!

Welcome to our second installment of New Words You Must Use!

scroom - verb/noun contraction.
Contraction of the words "screw" and "them". Also applies to "screw" and "him" or even "screw" and "her". Generally used when expressing noninterest, specifically in someone's opinion on a matter.
Usage: "They don't like my beard? Scroom!"

There! Go, my dear readers, and pepper your daily speech with my anacronysm. I command it!

And for My Next Word...Blogtastic!

I thought of a new word to describe the weather. And yes, before any of my non-existent readers point out, I already know that it is a normal word.

Unreasonable

It can be used to describe weather that is not unseasonable, but nonetheless annoying.

Usage: "It's been unreasonably cold this January," or, "that McDonalds coffee I just spilled on my lap was unreasonably hot."

You can file that one up there with, "It's colder than a witch's tit in a brass bra," or "It's hot enough to fry an egg on the pavement." It does not, however, belong anywhere near Jon's, "Snowing when it's warm is like the devil beating his wife."
