New Verb: Breitbarting

[Angrboda]

Oh, give DP a break. He misspelled a name. He's not a dipshit.

Nobody called anybody a dipshit here. Well, nobody but you that is, when you called me a dipshit the other day.

You're a class act, Shell.

Apo, let it fucking go. I was sticking up for DP because he's a fucking great guy. You, on the other hand, are perpetuating nonsense. Keep flaming me with your buttbuddy and making disagreements of an impersonal nature personal and I will take it up with the rest of the staff. It is more than annoying to have to deal with the grudge gang and I really, really don't have to. As a matter of clarity, if I called you a dipshit, you had to have said something personal first. I have a policy regarding that. I'm not honest until someone's an asshole.

[Reforged]

I'm afraid I'll have to prevent this argument before it begins... remember, you all made me unleash this horror...



It is done.

[Shell B]

If another argument begins, I'm going to do something about it. Derailing fucking threads to bring up other fucking threads, flaming and generally being a pain in the ass is not kosher.

[Autumnlicious]

I cannot find on this page any invectives towards DeistPaladin.

No one is calling anyone a dumb ass.

Let's not carry on grudges or past issues people.

Also, DP, you doofus!

There. Invective dispensed.

Now no one can claim DP wasn't insulted, nor can they say there was no insult ever.

[Angrboda]

I have every right to correct what appeared a materially defective claim, relevant to the thread, that i had personally insulted DP by calling him a dipshit, or otherwise demeaned him.


Yeah, there's a little sauce for the goose in there, but from someone who just referred to me with a homophobic slur, you're one to talk. It's a forum. Things get dirty. Get over it.



Or, you can throw your weight around to settle the matter as you like. It's okie-dokie by me.

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Um, no. Let me sort this out for you. Teabagging has long been the act of dipping your nuts in someone's mouth. /clarification

Really? I didn't know that. A bit prosaic.

One of more inventive things I tried involved her having a mouthful of warm water and a handful of ice cubes.

[Shell B]

A homophobic slur? Females can have anal sex too. Furthermore, I didn't suggest you called him a dipshit and both I (before I removed my wings) and Syn told you to drop it. How nice of you to continue.

[Cato]

Just a humble suggestion for the world, I noticed in the news that the Romney campaign has been trying to stoke faux-outrage over Obama's supposedly "anti-business" attitude. The manufactured outrage is based on a selectively edited quote from a speech of Obama's.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum..._blog.html

The late, great Andrew Britebart blazed this trail and proved how effective it can be with his success in slandering both individuals and organizations through deceptive editing of footage. Britebart proved that the truth doesn't matter as long as you have a slick video editing software package. Now that the tactic has proven so successful, we can expect to see more of it in the future.

I therefore propose a new verb, "Britebarting" (formerly known as "slandering" and "quote mining") to honor his accomplishment in this field. This was, after all, what he dedicated his life to and he should be remembered for it.

I have no issue with the new verb, but there are two points I would like to address. If Breitbart is to be a verb then it also must carry the meritorious meaning of exposing neerdowells in government employ (Acorn representatives anybody?). My second point suggests that we should identify a liberal hack, just as Breitbart was a conservative hack, to name a verb after; for doing the same thing, but with different motiviation. News broke today that Obama's serendipituous run-in with three veterens at a diner was staged.

At this point in the election cycle, not to say that the previouis cycle was really anymore meaningful, both candidates will spend treasure troves of money given to them by people with a vested interest in complacency. Each candidate, and their campaigns, know full well that it is now purely a popularity contest. They must each scare the shit out of the base to make sure they show up (gay marriage, abortion, guns, the environment, imigration, health care, high speed rail, postal costs, education, etc). The middle of the political spectrum isn't so easily horrified and wants to know what each candidate's potential solution is on these issues. Fuck off, is the real answer. We'll hear potential solutions, as we always have, that have the strange characteristic of evaporating once the oath of office is rendered.

Here is the verb we ought to use when considering politics: BOHICA (bend over, here it comes again). I got this from a radio peronality, but it seems to fit. Neither candidate really cares. Breitbart? Fine. BOHICA is better since it sheds any political affiliation and is much closer to the truth.

I agree with Cato. It seems more... timeless. Lol
