This is how far we’ve come.

Bromance, chillax, and staycation are now entering into the OED.

Shit, all we can do is combine words to make new ones. I’m amazed “cruck” and “Trar” aren’t in there.

Needless to say I think the portmanteau thing has gotten out of hand. I’m calling for a word combining moratorium. We can keep what we have now. The classics like “brunch” and “cockgina” will be honored and live on, and the more recent, trendy ones will hopefully slip away. The with the moratorium in place we, as a people sharing a common language, can move beyond what is essentially cutesy-speak.

MFers walk around Milwaukee wearing Wiscompton shirts.

I’m not going to act like I never use modern portmanteau. I’ve dropped a Recessionista bomb. But I never really considered it OED worthy.

I once saw Hank Rollins speak, and he was going on about how the language needs to advance. He claimed he was looking towards rap music, but he was losing faith. Of course this was before Def Jux.

Brass Stax: Fuck your jeggings and your jorts. Fuck Brangelina, Fuck Robsten (really, that is the shittiest one), and fuck RumorAubreyPlazator. You wanna find new words that aren’t 10o% weak? Check with the bloggermanship.

RAGE!
