Blog is the dumbest, most disgusting new mainstream word in years.
Really. I want to hit people that say "Blogosphere" :eyes:

You'd think one of the many 'creative' bloggers :puke: would think up a better name :eyes:

Discuss. :eyes:

Blog is a pretty stupid word. Blogosphere is worse.

7. Nah, blame that on Rush
It's why I HATE it when people call me "Folks", even here on DU.

"Folks, we need to reevaluate our message on gay rights" - Eh fuck you pal, call me 'folks' again, asshole :nuke:

6. Although it's bad...
"Meme" is the worst. Just for its pretentiousness level alone. Usually thrown in someone's face because the user of that term lacks an argument.

8. Ok, I've just invented the Stein test for this.
Imagine Ben Stein saying both words, and tell me "Blog" doesn't win :crazy:

10. I agree.
Just like DINO & republican-lite, I think people just like to say "blog"...cus...it makes them feel all warm 'n fuzzy inside.

If CNN has a special segment devoted to going "inside the blogs"...and every little idiot teen girl from here to Timbuktu has one...stick a fork in it...it's done.

11. What do you mean "done" - it never "was" in my opinion
They're no different than website, except they are ran by the attention-dependent. Sure, 1 or 2 do some decent research, but :puke: on the other 99%

17. I think "parenting" is. I mean, when it's used as a verb.
Just lazy and stupid.
