I think I need to get out more.

But I had to vote for the theantix option. I'm a little punchy today.

And antedeluvian? I think the last person I heard use that word was my high school trig teacher, who was, in fact, antedeluvian.

at this particular point in time, I'd be more than a little punchy. I'd be telling people about my childhood friend S (who: imagine me, only blonde) when she went through her Public Enemy phase, all to lead up to the punchline, "Yeeaah, buoooy!" after which I'd collapse into a fit of hysterical laughter, to become utterly debilitated by lack of oxygen to the head.

And to actually say the word antediluvian? That should not be allowed. There needs to be another law that it should only ever be used in print.

Urge your author to try the lesser known, but considerably more "with it" (by which I mean funny) urban term of heterosexual inter-male camaraderie "broham."



I'll try floating that next time by Kellnerin (4.00 / 1) #6 Wed Mar 22, 2006 at 11:35:06 AM EST
Though this was in a quoted context, so I don't think that'll fly. I couldn't find "broham" in my Web 11, can I use "brougham" instead? And what about "bra"?

I guess someone should be starting a 'net campaign to warn people not to date Herb Roham, whoever he is. Gotta be bad news.

These dudes need by blixco (2.00 / 0) #4 Wed Mar 22, 2006 at 09:50:59 AM EST
a break from their language for a few years, maybe take some tme in Somalia or something. Deflate their sense of self-worth, degauss the words they choose, use something more human, emotional, significant, and efficient.

But then they'd all be boring.

I love your job.  And I love this diary.  You write your life well; mine is sort of looking for a well-written life at the moment.

Some people need by Kellnerin (4.00 / 1) #7 Wed Mar 22, 2006 at 11:48:12 AM EST
to try less hard, to be less ooh-clever, to avoid writing anything that they can't feel in their throat. Their words should be like tools comfortably worn from years of handling, not grasped in a bunch at arm's length still with their rough edges straight out of the mold they were cast in.

The job, I love it too. Glad you like the write-up. I enjoy the writing of it, but I can't stand people who only write to amuse themselves.
