OVERUSED[/b] is a no-brainer: C'mon kids, "real heads" does not mean your Economicsteacher, your best friend in 7th grade, or even YOU justbecause you tripped over a good 45 once on your way tocheck the bins for that Tommy Roe break.Worst of all is the use of "Real Heads" in DEFENSE, asin "I know I'm the only person in the world that doesn'tfind this wack/disgusting/tired, so:Y'ALL SLEEP ON MID-80'S DAVID SANBORN BUT "Yeah dude, real heads know, and they know shit is wack.MISUSED[/b] is obvious as well,if only because it is almost never used properly: Dudes, "metrosexual" does not mean "gay" - it means vain andself-obsessed, particularly with one's appearance. Men who plucktheir eyebrows or have 3 different hair gels, each for a differentweather-condition. True, gay men are often metrosexual men, but soare millions of dudes who are all about being with women.So, posts that say: "YO I HEARD BENZINO LOCKED HIMSELF IN THE BATHROOMOF THE FLAVA UNIT TOUR BUS WITH ONE OF LATIFAH'S MALE DANCERS "just don't make any sense.When your favorite rapper does something or just go ahead and call him a sally or let's bring back the ghey graemlinor something... Metrosexuality is, according to British journalist Mark Simpson, the trait of an urban man of any sexual orientation (usually heterosexual)[citation needed] who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great amount of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. Simpson coined the term in 1994 in an article in the The Independent [1] after writing his book about contemporary masculine identity Male Impersonators: Men Performing Masculinity. Simpson described the effect of consumerism and media proliferation, particularly the men???s style press, on traditional masculinity. Metrosexuals often can be seen sporting the latest in men's fashion. Hetero metrosexuals, though known to be heterosexual have what's known as a "camp" factor about them; in general slang terms, they are "camp but straight." Yes, I'm bored enough that I'm making SS Police threads. Sue me.Runners up for misused: &[/b] And while I have the floor, can we officially change to ?[/b](TEAM) WU TANG 4EVA!

    :ghey: never left.








  • Thank you, SoulOnIce!

    And maybe we could limit graemlin usage to users with over 1000 posts. Some of the new kids are a little overzealous with their usage; it would appear that some folks are unable to post without them.

    = Strictly a subjective comment

    = I would get weirded out by a person who expresses discontent by continuing to make loud, 5 second groans

    = Mike Schmidt as a teenager at a Polish-American Anti-Defamation Meeting

    Not a graemlin but,
    When people quote quoted stuff and don't remove the extraneous ten posts that came before the one that they're referring to.


    That mess just looks like digital incompetence.

    Dude has been known to compose a symphony in graemlins.

    Man, I laugh out loud at the way the racist graemlin is used all the time... the less relevant, the better

    Another contender for Most Misused:

    It pains me that there are members of our community so dense that I am forced to commit this to print, but this graemlin is never, ever, ever to be used with respect to one's own posts.

    It is to be used to acknowledge a definitive sonning delivered by another poster.

    It is not to be used in an effort to convince others that one's own posts constitute definitive sonnings; if that is not self-evident from the posts, then schitt is most definitely not game over, and you're just embarassing yourself.

    See also:

    It will be for the rest of the community to determine whether the vacuous nonsense that just dribbled off your keyboard is, in fact, knowledge worthy of acknowledgment.
