Are Bloggers the missing link??? Maybe....

With the popularity of blogging at an all time high right now it's no wonder that, like texting, bloggers are developing their own blog language or "blanguage". I've also noticed some new blog slang lately (Blang) as well which is very similar to on line chat acronyms.

Now don't get all excited....it's not going to be an entirely new language and I'm not talking about learning to speak Klingon, and no, we won't be donning uniforms, wearing capes or even have a secret handshake. We will, however, be easily recognizable to others of our own kind. We are the ones that stand out in a crowded room because of our bloodshot eyes, arthritic fingers, swollen thumbs and laptops chained to our chest like anchors. When acknowledging a potential blogger, just make the two thumb "wiggle". If the other person "wiggles" back, then you know.

What I am suggesting is a way to convert the text shorthand to blogging. Here are some of my thoughts on new "blords" for our "blanguage":

 

New blogging blords:

Beeple: People who blog. I'm a beeple, you're a beeple, too. Yippee! I've finally found my Beeple!!!

Bloghog: A beeple who's obsessed with blogging.

Serial Blogger: Someone who posts constantly with inane, boring posts over and over again. Someone please dial 911B (see below), would ya?

Blog-anon: Where we all should be....Hello, my name is (your name here) and I'm a blogaholic).

Bliction: Addiction to Blogging.

Blogger-vention: A group of well mean ill informed interfering non bloggers who want to talk to us about our bliction. We're not bad, just so misunderstood.

Shorthand:

BRB: Blog right back

DIBTOL: Did I blog that out loud? Used when you write a comment, hit the send button and then slap your forehead. Did I really just say that? Quick! Hit the edit key!

ABITPIWTITD: A blog in the post is worth two in a draft. Use this if you have twenty drafts and you haven't posted any of them.

BOBAR: Blogged out beyond all recognition. We can all relate to this. When you haven't slept or showered for over 24 hours and, you refer to your family as "those people".

BYOB: Bring your own blog.

2MIB: Too much information blogging.

PMLAYP: Pee myself laughing at your post.

RTFRBP: Read the "freaking" rules before posting.

4COLNNIB: For crying out loud....not now! I'm blogging!

AATWB: Asleep at keyboard while blogging. Come on, admit it. We've all done it!

ROFLWC: Roll on the floor laughing while commenting.

999: Spouse or significant other watching-quiet. Shhhh!

9999: Spouse or significant other not watching-all clear-blog on!

411B: Who's got the info on the best blog?

911B: I'm blogging and I can't stop! Call for help now!

I'm sure you have your own ideas and thoughts on words to add to this list. Please leave them here in the comments so we can begin to form our Blogging Blible. Thanks. Live long and Blog! May the blog be with you! A blog a day keeps the Doctor away. Okay, now I'm done....someone please call 911B for me before I have a blog attack.

It certainly is addictive... But I avoid the "texting-like" abbreviations here.  I have to pretend it is work after all!

PS: just noticed the picture of "the tick"

That was one of my favorite cartoons, so sorry it was canceled! I actually have a 3" tall tick on my desk.

Ah Ha! Now I understand so much more than I did before. Am I a Beeple or a Bloghog or a Bloghog Beeple. Cecily, now you have let the "blat" out of the "blag." Everyone will know all about what Beeples are saying or is Beeple already plural?

Being ex-military, Bobar, should really be Bubar. But, it is your list, afterall.

Great job, fun time.....but then what else should I expect from a Blonde, right?

So, now you can quit sulking.

I'm sooooo............. confuse with all this Cecily, I couldn't read Sean comment without scrolling up and down a million  freaking times. Because of you bloghog new lingo.  Its hard enough when you're bobar to read your bliction as it is. You see I can even post correctly any more and I make no sense or do I. Were is all the insanity of this going.

Cecily, PLEEEEEZE can't I have a uniform (one with a little keyboard insignia it to replace the United Federation of Plants logo).  If you're dead set against it, I'll take a cape and a cap!  Blog on Baby!

Cecily - Are you sure that pony of yours didn't drop you on your head one too many times?  Actually, pretty clever stuff.

I am not THAT crazy... it is a 3 inch tall "tick"  3 foot would be a little over the top, at that point you may as well be life size!

Laura: Oh, honey....of course you can have a "uni" if you really have your heart set on it...I'm sending you the "Tick" costume now! Remember, use your powers for good and not evil. With great power comes great responsibility...hee.

Kevin: Actually I did have several head drops along with other war wounds...hmmmm.....maybe that's why I'm not quite right in the head.

Robert: Oh thank God!!! Whew! So glad to hear you went for the small one! Guess I can call off those guys in the white suits that should be knocking at your door any minute. Haha!

Blogorific...Are we warped..sick strange people or is it everyone else? It's the other 300 million people living in the U.S. that have the problem communicating with each other.

I don't think we are necessarily the missing link.  I don't think we emanate from outside the standard neanderthals, or homosapiens.  I suspect the jury is out about bloggers. . .Perhaps, we are just a fad, caught throwing spaghetti on the wall, while hoping some of it sticks :-)
