Why, what did you think it meant?

I was listening to a radio program this weekend and the word 'Bozone' came up. Apparently the place to look up such words is The Urban Dictionary, which tells us-

BOZONE- The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.

This is an eye-opening site. For instance, call me completely naive, but 'Safety Dance' means a bit more than I thought it did...

Here are a few other examples-

CELEBUTARD- A famous stupid person. Typically refers to the current crop of vapid celebrities. Celebutard Paris Hilton got the name of her own videogame wrong.

MACCACACOCKY- being so full of hubris as to believe you can racially insult someone in public, at will. Man, did you hear what he said? He's a bit maccacacocky, isn't he?

URBAN AMISH- Someone who has none of the technological devices that have become a part of our daily lives, such as television, microwave, gaming platform or home computer. I'm going to Ohio for a visit with the Urban Amish relatives. Where's my Gameboy?

BLOGORRHEA- To write a blog entry just for the sake of posting an entry, not because you have done anything interesting today. I couldn't really think of anthing good to blog about, so my last post was real blogorrhea.

Ah dammit. I sing the Safety Dance song all the time, and now it's forever changed!

Phoebe- Tell me about it. I feel so, so... so... (I was about to say "abused", but I guess that wouldn't be the best word, would it?) out of touch.

But I like Blogorrhea especially if it is shrouded in Bozone and Maccacacokery about Celebutards.

I have no use for the Urban Amish.

Mike- yes, it is very easy to get blogorrheic about celebutards, especially if one finds a good picture to go with it.

Not that I'd ever do such a thing.
