Excellent etymology ... couldn't have chosen a better descryptive combo ... especially the retard! Great creation! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-15: 10:04:00
i didn't want to offend anyone -so i made sure to put the definition as written in Webster's. Though i suppose people don't necessarily get up in arms when they read their kids pj's are flame retardant. - libertybelle, 2008-02-15: 10:35:00
I never gave it a thought libertybelle ... good point. It is never my intention to offend, when words can be perceived in many ways. Yet ... I can't help thinking, if we shunned every word that might be mindtwisted so it can be construed offensive, we might have to become mutants! - silveryaspen, 2008-02-15: 11:10:00
Either that, or we'll have to create verbotocisms like "rockrock" or "boulderstone" - DeltaRho2K, 2008-02-15: 13:41:00
Great creation! It could also apply to the celebrities who do stupid things in public eye to inspire such fascination. - Tigger, 2008-02-15: 23:00:00

Tigger, great idea! Did you think of it when you were hanging out with Demi/Ashton/Bruce at Sundance or as a guest at Eddy Murphy's fake wedding or schmoozing with Heidi and Seal at that Versace Fashion thingy?? Do tell, enquiring minds want to know...
Tigger - 2008-02-15: 02:46:00
Oh, the Versace thing! Wasn't that just absolutely fab? All my peeps were there and... Well no, I wasn't actually there, but I uh — I read all about it. I could've gone, but I was still distraught over the Pam Anderson divorce. [Ok, I'm giving myself the creeps now — I hate people who talk like that!]
