It's weird to watch the life of a word. Like "asshat." Growing up, I never heard anyone called an asshat. And then all of a sudden, bang! There's asshat. Everyone's using it. Even albert71292 says it. Asshat. Kind of a nifty word. The word of the moment. I'll look back on 2003 as the Year of the Asshat.

I won't even get into assclowns.

I'd like to figure out where those terms came from. I'm thinking maybe somethingawful.com, but maybe they were around before that.

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Yeah it's weird. I'll bet the linguists and OED people are having a field day with all these new words.

that term is actually a point of much discussion with the wife and I. We both wonder where it came from and when it will go away.

It's strange--when I first saw it, I thought, hey, that's funny, maybe I'll use it sometime. But then it started showing up everywhere! So I never got a chance to use it. Maybe in the meeting tomorrow morning.

I would like to use it when I finally get the nerve to tell my boss that I really think about him...

Re:

uh... that's think of him, not think about him. Heh.

I'm still trying to get the phrase thundering shit weasel to take off.

Man, that's a really good one!!! I read "cock knocking nut fuck" around here somewhere the other day and thought that was really good. For years I've been trying to push "stark raving naked," but no one will pick up on it.

now that you mention the subject...where the crunk did "w00t" come from?

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I dunno! I blame the hax0rs (or whatever they are). :)

Assneck is quite popular these days too...

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, we talked about that one! I still attribute that one to the Jerky Boys. I dig that one.

Don't forget Assninja!

[saintclaire.livejournal.com]

Thats a keeper! AsssNinja.. I'm going to work that one into my vocabulary today. Thanks!

[wickedflea.livejournal.com]

Assninja rocks! Actually this is the first time I've heard it, but that's a really good one! :)
