Poll question: The Word "Blog"...do you hate it as much as i do?

It's such a stupid word. Blog. And it could not be more overused. Stupid word for stupid times.

1. Yup.

It just sounds...stupid. It's an ugly word.

2. I don't hate it.

It's short for weblog, so I suppose a person could still say weblog.

What would you call it?

[reyd reid reed]

7. Web log.

It's not like it's some multi-syllabic tongue twister.

Two three-letter words.

9. No, but that's how new words evolve.

3. I just like calling people 'wanker'...

I don't think there's anything wrong with the word. But if you can come up with something better, I'll give it a try.

4. Sounds like something

someone coughs up at work. Blah.

[TOhioLiberal]

5. Yeah...

...now I think I'll go to my BLOG and write a BLOGpost about my hatred. :evilgrin:

[Oeditpus Rex]

6. What I hate...

is when Stupid People use "blog" to describe sites such as DU.

8. Why don't people just fucking call them "blunts," as I've advocated

for years?

That was a joke, but I do actually hate the word, ever since that Hillary Duff movie where she said "Hey, all you bloggers out there!" If ever there was a word predestined for future ridicule, that's it. I don't have a blog, don't read blogs, don't consider DU to be a blog, and the post you've just read represents most of the instances in which I've used the word, verbally or in print.
