more, er, dope sub-cultural vernacular*

In the interest of pre-emptive clarification, I bring you the vocabulary guide for any upcoming entries.  You know, plus ?a change, and so on.  Please take note, there may be a quiz.

"Jerkburger" is the new "Asshat."

"Boob" is the new "Chowderhead."

"Writing" is the new "Afternoon Nap."

It may be worth noting that the first two amendments to the Old Zembla lexicon are offered in spite of Arlington’s assertion to the contrary.  Differences of opinion, though, are at the very heart of any prolific discourse community, as I always used to tell those boobs in my writing classes.

*Thanks, Hungbunny, for the title.

    Charlie Fatburger seems like a kind-of cool dog name. Whenever I get a dog, it’s name shall be either Mr. Darcy, or Egon, depending.

    Anyway, I am no fan of Capote. I tried Breakfast at Tiffany’s but frankly, who wouldn’t rather see the film?
