So, some poll somewhere on the web-o-tron has come up with the top hated words on the internets. “Blog”, “netiquette”, “cookie” and “wiki” have come in close to the top.
Let’s tune in and hear what I have to say about these.
“blog” is just a stupid word to begin with. I mean, if it means “web log”, then why isn’t it “wlog”?
“netiquette”, eh, I’m partial too. It’s a word that should be know but never said. Basically, just don’t type in all caps unless you’re yelling, don’t pounce someone just as soon as they sign online, and search before posting a question. One more, stop sending jokes e-mails, I’ve heard it before, let me guess: “A penguin in a blender?” Oh yea, one more, STOP FUCKING WRITING 3’s FOR E’s AND Z’s FOR S’s. And if I wanted to be on MySpace I would had told you about it before you ever heard about it, so stop asking me to sign up. And, take the pics of child of the internet or at least take off the caption underneath it that reads, “My Thug Angel”. I digress. Thanks Pooh and Phonte for pointing those out to me.
Where was I? Ah…
“cookie”, if you don’t know what one does, don’t know how to create, delete or remove one, then just never say the word. It’s that fucking simple. And, no it doesn’t hold your credit card information. Idiots.
“blook” this one is new too me. Mainly because I don’t read blogs or books. I watch a lot of “garn” tho. Yep, it’s a thinker, and gross, and… hard.
“blogosphere” sounds cooler than it will ever be. If it was real, there would be a terrorist plot to blow it up.
“wiki” this word is such a fun word to say, just as Sienfield mentioned that “salsa” is a fun word to say. I guess it could get irritating if it was every other word out someone’s mouth. Assuming I’m talking about management. At that point it’s not a concept but more of a noun, adverb, and adjective. Something like, “Could we wiki the wiki then wiki it?” Or something like that. You know my grammar is the goodest.
“godcast”, a religious service which has been converted to an MP3 format. Jesus Christ, can we just call it an MP3 already? God Dammit!
“me-media”, a term for personal content websites such as Facebook and MySpace. I’ve already named those “time wasting” web sites. Facebook is a solo web site for .edu’s only. Oh, oooh, wait no, everyone can sign up now. Way to throw away you’re nitch. MySpace has now invented a way to instantly send someone a message to people you know who are also registered on MySpace. Thanks MySpace, thanks for re-inventing the wheel.
Words aren’t irritating, just annoying to hear them used improperly. Most often it just happens to be “Internet” words. Mostly because morons think they are “techno savvy”. Hey, how was that for a retro phrase?
Thanks to Don and Mike, anytime I hear the word “whatnot” everything said has be stricken from the record. No matter how credible that conversation was.
Phrases are what’s really irritating. Who can forget classics like “… not!” or “talk to the hand!” or “Where’s your sign” or “Git R Done!”
Here are a couple.
“…is the bomb”. Yes, I get it. It’s hot, it’s on fire, it’s about to blow up, big. But not everything can be the bomb. I think what set me off was something like, “This ice cream is the bomb!” Of course it’s good. That’s what fucking ice cream is supposed to be, delicious. This next one, I don’t see how any guy would think it would be something you’d ever say to a woman, “That was some bomb-ass pussy.” That really, for some reason just creeps me out.
“I’m Rick James, bitch!” or “What did the five fingers say to the face?” Thanks for making me never want to watch Chappelle Show again, assholes.
Here is the newest and latest one sweeping the nation:
“I think I just threw up a little in my mouth”. This one says, “I’m not really funny but I’ll steal a quote from a movie, then cover my mouth and pray for a laugh”. Apparently it’s so original, it was used in a couple some-what popular sitcoms and in a couple popular movies. If you really want, I’ll punch you in the throat. Maybe that’ll take your mind off the puke in your mouth.
