blogsphemy \blŏgs-fə-mē\
noun.
An insult to the Gods of the blogosphere.
Things that may construe a blogsphemy include (but are not limited to):
1. Talking about one's own blog in a blog post
2. Reading a blog that talks about itself in a blog post
3. Trying to squeeze that one last bit of humour out of self-reference
4. Inserting a Google AdSense box on one's blog, hoping that someone will click the ads and in the process earn one an extra 20 cents.
About Me
- Eeshan Malhotra
- Born and grew up in a lifestyle completely unexposed to adversity and hardship, the author has, since then, overcome these hurdles to become a poster of mediocre content on the internet.
There was an article in Readers' Digest some decades ago with such words. I recall the following:
ReplyDeleteEdgehog - a person who sits at the edge seat (near the aisle) in a theatre when all seats inside are free, causing trouble to all who need to get past him.
Tortune - song that keeps playing in your head repeatedly and not possible to get rid of.
Yes, I think I recall that article you talk of. I can remember another particularly good one from there:
ReplyDeleteMarthinLuthers - the clothes that you still keep in your wardrobe, hoping that one day they'll fit you again .
(As in "I have a dream...")
There was another one i remember-
ReplyDeletePenultimatum - "i'm going to tell you this just one more time..."
blogsphemy (contd.)
ReplyDelete5. ridiculing the blogger in comments to his own post, e.g. "politeeshan: ???? ???? ???? ????? ?????? (I don't know the definition right now, but I will find out tomorrow)"
politeeshan - etymology: Lat. Polite + Name. Eeshan.
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you! And while we're on the topic of tomorrow, I shall be glad to give up the 'Polite' tag and be rather rude to you.
(Useful Tip: I can always be bribed with a tuna treat)
That opens doors to infinite possibilities. Many of these can be bettered a great deal.
ReplyDeleteapaireeshan - an extra image of the (specific) blogger seen alongside the original when really drunk with him
parteeshan - pertaining to a shared blog or, otherwise, a treat you decline to go to (probably for fear of that scary ghost you saw last time)
peteeshan - praise the blogger with hope of getting a treat in the canteen later
(to compensate for that great treat you declined)
proposeeshan - act really gay with the blogger
neutereeshan - feed the blogger some sterilizing drug
(don't be shocked at the change of attitude, there are good days and there are bad days)
igneeshan - the blogger getting an idea for an Ig Nobel
repeteeshan - make another attempt to get that canteen treat
