Which DUer makes the best word salad?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

Maybe someone makes a better word salad but for sentimental reasons you are partial to another.

Who are the up and coming Word Salad Makers at DU?

1. MiddleFingerMom can string a word or two together

When he's not busy posting goofy pictures. :)

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Just curious -- what kind of dressing is used on word salad?

Oh wait --are you calling out the mentally ill?

3. And here I thought she was talking about prose

4. I googled it to be sure that I understood the term and was surprised to see it's a medical term too.

BTW I don't really think that Tuesday Afternoon meant it that way (it would be uncharacteristic of TA to post something with that intent) but I figured that if I wasn't aware of the medical reference others may not be either.

For me, knowing now what it means formally I'm less inclined to use it informally.

11. no I think the amateurs too

(sorry, someone has to be shameless enough to post even the lamest puns, and I'm just the guy for the job)



Oops--posted this before I read the whole post and realized the subject had turned sort of serious...no disrespect intended on my part either.

8. wow. did not know that. no maliciousness intended.

I actually admire the style.

:shrug:

:hi:

9. I really didn't think that you knew what it meant either.

I should've used more words to make clear that I wasn't serious about that poke. I sometimes forget that translating a humorous barb to written form is an art form.

As I replied above though, I was shocked to find out that it had a clinical meaning. Here I thought it was a nice benign term.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

12. yes, benign...I guess I mean sort of off-the-wall, rambling, out of left field

kind of thing.

He doesn't post much though.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

15. not much, he doesn't

I bet that One was a Duzy though :)

6. If you mean mixture of randomly chosen words that,

while arranged in phrases that appear to give them meaning,
actually carry no significance.

then I would have to say that Random Thought's posts most often
seem that way to me.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

7. yes, this is what I meant. I did not know it had a "formal definition"

and RT does a beautiful job of it. I admire the style. No insult intended.

16. Huh? WTF are you talking about?? I am still trying to figure out what would

have happened if the South had successfully seceded from the Union. I got important shit to think about!!!

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. bwahahahahahahaahahaaa

Good luck with that thread.

I see a train wreck in the making.

18. Yes you have, mad! And WHERE's the Mason/Dixon line???

[madinmaryland]

20. I cross it everytime I go to see my folks, and BTW, our state is also

known as "The FREE STATE". I guess that's why I am always telling a certain DUer to FREE THE DUCK!!!

:D

21. Yep, its 'in our blood,' kinda!
