another parade of horribles - first and final warning

first and final warning

Jul. 3rd, 2008 at 5:20 PM

Anyone using the abominable expression "made of x" where x = "win", "fail", "lose" or something equally ungrammatical and tragic will be removed from my flist, mocked and if at all possible tracked down and humiliated in public with large dogs. Starting now. It may have been considered "cute" for a few fractions of a second amongst the easily amused but that time is now well and truly over.

Worse punishment await anyone who expects me to bold, strikethru or italic a list of books that includes the Da Vinci Code and anything containing wizards of any kind.

You have been warned, chums.

I couldn't agree with you more. I've already taken the same Draconian step with serial abusers of the inanity "awesome."

Spotted recently: "Awesomebots are awesome!" I have no idea what an "awesomebot" is, and I don't want to know. What I do want to know is why people well into their thirties want to use slang that is not only outdated and moronic, but more closely associated with both GWB and Rachael Ray.
