I Hereby Pronounce "Bling" Dead

Bling It On

If you’ve seen the commercials, you get the full, horrible effect. Teen girls with rhinestoned iPod minis and cell phones while the female announcer from so many terrible As Seen On TV commercials (remember Yaffa? Her.) gushes about it. It’s rhinestones on scotch tape!

I’ve known the phrase has been pronounced dead before, but this is just pissing on its grave.

Well, that’s just sily. Bling is prounounced “b-li[ng]”. If you pronounce it “dĕd” nobody will have any idea what you’re talking about! :wink:

I love the website, too. “Go from ordinary to legendary in just seconds”. Right. As of this minute, I’m an ordinary, 43-year-old housewife, but with Bling It On, just seconds from now, I could be a legend in my own time!! Yay!! I’ve always wanted to be a legend, but always thought I’d have to deal with all that messy glue to do it. Thanks to you, Tentacle Monster, I now know better!

Aw, gee, norinew, now I can’t leave my ordinaryness behind lest I be perceived as a “Legendary norinew wannabe” - DAMNATION! I should have called right away, since operators were standing by and all.

Another opportunity lost. sigh

Hey, ya snooze, ya lose, y’know? :smiley:

Calm down, sport. I don’t think you have to worry 'bout anyone ripping off that idea. Laughing at your suggestion to “bling” your toothbrush, maybe, but stealing? Not going to happen.

Bling is not pronounced [bi:lIŋ], it’s pronouncing [blIŋ]!

Silly fool :wink:
