Whenever I see people going nutso because snow it predicted, I always say “It/s sow. It’s not Armaggedon.”
Well, some wise ass had to combine the two and come up with “Snowmegeddon.” When the fuck is snow a sign of the Apocolypse? It’s winter. It’s snow. You’ll be snowbound for two days at most.
Stop using this stupid, ridculous word.
It must be one hell of a pig if people are confusing it with Armageddon.
I liked it.
**** backs slowly out of thread***
I can only agree wholeheartedly with this thread and the OP.
“Snowpocalypse” is a far superior term.
Snowpocalypse is making the rounds too.
It’s part of the ongoing, lame-ass trend of creating portmanteau / world amalgams that remains all the rage.
bromance / sexting / frenemy / staycation and so on ad nauseum.
It’s not cute; it’s not clever and a far cry from being remotely original.
Bunch of fucktards.
The word is loathsome; the sentiment expressed by it is moreso. I do hope you’ll excuse me if I tack on a sub-rant of my own.
Dear every-other-fignuts-I-run-into: shut the fuck up about the snow. More specifically…
“It’s snowing again?!” Yes. Shut the fuck up.
“But I’m tired of snow!” Then move south for the winter. Can’t? Then shut the fuck up.
“But we never get this much snow here!” Select one of the following:
[ul][li]Looks like we do. Shut the fuck up.Four times in one year, two of which accumulated more than three inches? Here, talk to my buddy in D.C.; he’ll tell you to shut the fuck up.[/ul][/li]
Really, people. It’s snow. It happens. There will be frozen stuff on the ground for a while, driving might be annoying for a couple of days. You will survive, quite likely unharmed. If you disagree, then take a moment to contemplate your impending doom, reflect upon your life, the things you’ve done, the people you’ve loved; collect yourself, steel your nerves for your imminent white and fluffy demise, and shut the fuck up.
(And before anyone brings up the recent posts by that guy who’s stuck in Afghanistan thanks to the snow, I assure you that those whose above-referenced bitching I encounter here in southern Virginia aren’t in that same predicament, so please accept this pre-emptive “shut the fuck up”.)
Metapost is meta.
I suggest we call it Portmanteaugate.
Unless there’s heavy snow here.
I am bemused by the idea that Megido is just southeast of Oz.
I’m a traditionalist, I prefer “fimbulwinter”.
I like it - it’s DRAMATIC! SNOWMEGEDDON! It just cries out for exclamation points!
It is certainly better than a Schmoomegeddon. Those frackers are heavy and really hurt when they fall on you. And have you ever shoveled a pile of Schmoo’s? Fergidaboutit.
But… but then what would be the tagline for Chicago’s NBC affiliate’s snarky response to ‘omg lots of snow!!!’?
Oh wait, they’d probably use the tagline from this year’s update - “Snowpocalypse!”
It’s the lastest fad nauseum.
Go ahead. Bitch slap me. You know you want to.
Snowpocolypse and Snowmageddon were used by me and my friends first to describe the rather over-hyped reactions news programs had to even the hint of a dusting of snow, let alone the possibility of 6+ inches.
That and the overreaction of people who would buy out milk bread and eggs like lemmings as if there would never be any more milk, bread or eggs.
I’ve been having the biggest craving for French toast lately. Can’t for the life of me figure out why, though…
Fox is claiming the snow storm proves global warming is a hoax. Yep, thats all over now. No more warming.
I did like the word “snoverkill”, though.
You’re right. Snowmegeddon *is *stupid and ridiculous.
Everyone knows it’s snowmageddon.
SMG*, people!
*snow my god
Well, everyone except the blizztards, don’tcha mean?
