Alright, I was thinking lately, and I decided that words like “cool,” “sweet,” and even the eternally beautiful “neato!” have started to become overused in modern society. Naturally, since I have too much free time on my hands, I have come to the conclusion that this must be remedied. So, what better group of people to turn to than the Dopers! C’mon, if we put our collective minds to it, I’m pretty sure that we can come up with some real zingers, and, by power of sheer numbers, force them into modern, everyday use.
I cast my vote for “all shades of freaky.”
(Hey, how was the party? Oh, it was all shades of freaky.)
Okay, my friends developed a strategy for this. Just combine a bunch of cheezy-sounding syllables. “Fantabulicious!” “Funkadelic!” I liked “Buck Hegge”. Very nice.
“Hip deep in guts” - is that supposed to be a good thing?
I’ve noticed the latest trend in rap names seems to be “Li’l.” Dr. Mayo (I’ve decided to elevate him from mere “Mister”) and I have been adding it to names just to amuse ourselves. It could also work quite nicely as an intensifier; “li’l” meaning the opposite, on the analogy of “stupid” and “phat.”
“Man - that was li’l cool!”
Mullinator, I love “Boubacar Aw.” Who is Janni Ninnima?
Well, yeah, Chief, I got the gist - you navy lads tend to have, shall we say, one-track minds. I mean, I believe you’ve even been known to mount a toilet!
I don’t care about political incorrectness - it just doesn’t sound terribly appetizing. But that’s only my visceral response. Don’t mind me, it’s merely spleen on my part.
