"Oh my god, if he comes over and talks to me I am literally going to die."
"We just decided to publish his newest book; it literally fell into our lap, so to speak." (actual quote from a NY Times interview).

Staycation!
It is a ridiculous word, but that hasn’t stopped the sprouting of so many Web sites with perky New York staycation ideas — Circle Line, a museum visit, a tenement tour and bialy on the Lower East Side.And, admittedly, it’s a very fun word to say. Staycation. How was your staycation? My parents went on staycation, and all I got was this lousy T-shirt. Our son-in-law threw his back out on staycation.As is so often the case, this new thing is nothing new in many parts of New York City. It’s just that it was never named by those level-headed working men and women who do not need a tarted-up pseudoword to enjoy a nice week without work. They don’t send postcards, and they don’t take pictures, but in interviews in the Bronx and Queens this week, they shared what will have to pass for the scrapbooks of their 2008 summer staycations.

Staycation? Thats dreadful, its as bad as webinar or evite. I'm all for fluid language but making shit up is silly.
― Trayce, Friday, 30 January 2009 00:10 (seventeen years ago)
Yeah -- maybe I'm etymologically wrong, but I feel like technically being "bipartisan" should actually be twice as bad as being partisan, no?
― nabisco, Friday, 30 January 2009 00:21 (seventeen years ago)
(Oh wait: bipartisan action or support would rightly indicate two-party consensus, but it's constantly used in this way that seems to technically be saying a person or thing or idea is partisan in multiple ways)
― nabisco, Friday, 30 January 2009 00:24 (seventeen years ago)
'meh' always sounds snooty and passive aggressive because of that extra 'm' in front of the 'eh'I always picture it being delivered by that New Yorker mascot dude or a wealthy dowager with great big hamlike limbs.Remember when it used to be written as "eh?" "Eh" sounds much more blue collar and good-natured for some reason.

Maybe it makes dudes try harder?
― nabisco, Friday, 30 January 2009 19:17 (seventeen years ago)
I'm sure it doesn't make anything else harder.

it's "men" isn't it
― Maximilian G. Neuchrist (country matters), Friday, 30 January 2009 19:32 (seventeen years ago)
I don't know if having "men" there would be clever or confusing. On the one hand, guys might be reminded not to look at your chest while talking to you; on the other hand, they might start walking behind you every time they needed to pee
― nabisco, Friday, 30 January 2009 19:36 (seventeen years ago)
Not catching my obtuse humor for a few seconds doesn't make anyone stupid. Except me, maybe.
