Phrase of the Day
red state
That seems to be the new semi-derogatory term around these parts. I've heard it used countless times this weekend, both in the media and out in the world. A nation divided, indeed.
I was talking to Teddio about that over not-quite-a-dinner dinner tonight. As we walked back to the car, we passed by a San Francisco Chronicle newspaper box. The headline:
RED STATE
BLUE STATE
Red state, blue state. Which one do you hate?

Creepy.

Phrase of the Day
parasitic head
As in ...
We've taken off half the parasitic head, and we haven't had any hemorrhaging.
Imagine your twin-to-be, attached to your head with its head, failing to develop on its own, and growing what it can of itself off of you. Ew.

Annoying Meeting Phrase of the Day
The fact of the matter is ...
Kind of a narrow-minded point of view, don't you think? I would hope most important matters are defined by more than just one fact. And this, from the muckiest of our many mucky mucks.

Phrase of the Day
paranoid schizophrenic
As in, will I be a paranoid schizophrenic when I grow up?
Does the fact that I think it may happen mean that it won't?
Does it at least mean that I'm paranoid ... of becoming paranoid?

Phrase of the Day
slap in the face
No rant, no usage examples. It keeps popping into my head so I figured it was about time I put it in the blog. I think there's some Alanis song with that line in it, so now all I hear is Alanis singing that line over and over again in my head. Blah.

cute guy trapped in a small body
Kinda like that guy Ted was spotting at the gym today. Cute face, great shape, but he looked like a little guy trying too hard to be all buff and tough. Too bad.

Phrase of the Night
I don't believe I ever defined nutzO!. I guess since it's a made up word it can mean whatever you want it to mean. When I say "nutzO!" I usually mean, "really farking crazy, yO!"
Actually, I like the definition so much I think I'll make it my
really farking crazy, yO!
Great phrase, but now I suppose you're going to ask me to define "farking" and "yO!". Well, I'm just too farking tired to do that right now, yo.
Please note, however, that "yo" is different from "yO!".
