The truth about blogging, podcasts and other "parrotted" terms

If these words were people, I would embrace their genocide.

Warblogger: Like all other bloggers, an idiot. Usually a self-righteous prick with a political axe to grind. Tragically, these dullards fail to realize that nobody cares what they think. And no, the 2 comments per post you get on average doesn't count. Get some real opinions, then maybe you'll get some real feedback.

Podcast: Someone had the revolutionary idea of taking a compressed audio file and putting it online. Yeah, doesn't sound so sexy when I describe it for what it is, does it you morons? It would have been a great idea if streaming audio wasn't already around for over a decade before the word "podcast" entered the lexicon. Man, I can't stand the word "lexicon." Talking about all these shitty words has made me start using shitty words. I'm so pissed, I just slammed the door shut on some kid's nuts.

awesome. totally awesome.

Podcasting: It's snob for "streaming audio."

Webmistress: You're not a webmistress, shut up. It's a word used by uppity women who, in spite of a woman's inherent flaws, has been able to land a job as a webmaster. Then they have to go and piss all over years of civil rights they've wrestled away by calling themselves "webmistresses."

RE: The truth about blogging, podcasts and other "parrotted" te

Hm. If I'd seen the word webmistress, I'd have defined it as:

4 a : a woman other than his wife with whom a married man has a continuing sexual relationship

adding virtual in there somewhere

RE: The truth about blogging, podcasts and other "parrotted" te

Yeah, well. The definition of Podcast is a bit off. That's rather like saying:

TiVo: Recording a TV program to watch it later. Like we haven't been doing that since 1978.

Rather loses the nuance of the change in technology.
