Have I mentioned that I’m part German?
Yep. And I’ve never been more proud of the fact than today.
A group of German linguists has chosen ‘shitstorm’ as the “Anglicism of the Year.”
Shitstorm…defined as “a public outcry, primarily on the Internet.” The jury who made the declaration said shitstorm fills a gap in modern German vocabulary.
This pleases me on many levels.
I always think of the Germans as being so practical-minded. And sure, they may have added this word to ‘fill a gap.’ But it’s a poop word! I love that.
It also makes some of the words that we silly Americans have added to our dictionary of late seem a little less, well…silly. Word like turducken. Bromance. Defriend. LBD.
Tramp stamp.
Yep. That’s a shitstorm of language going on there.
Icky ink
So, I’m watching Dancing with the Stars — which I love — and half of the remaining celebrity/pro pairs are dressed in matching athletic wear for a group number.
Tom Bergeron throws to a commercial break. All the women in the group turn their backs to the camera, creating a faux huddle. And there it is –
Talk about ruining a camera shot. And a costume designer’s vision. And pretty much every outfit you’ll wear for the rest of your life.
Now, I’ll admit — the ones the celebs and dancers are sporting on ABC are relatively tame. But this gnarly site is filled with some truly heinous creations.
Enjoy perusing poor decision making…in pen.
