« One of several art installations around Helsinki for the
Helsinki Arts Festival entitled, "The Wailing Wall". The walls were
filled with empty film canisters that people were invited to fill with
notes written on day-glow coloured papers. It reminded me of the old
lite-brites where you'd make a design with coloured pegs although the new
models for kids these days seem too molded and modern when compared to
the original low-tech box with a bulb inside of it. »
At the height of my inbox madness a few years ago, I think I
subscribed to about 45 different mailing lists, some of which had a
very high daily volume of spew. When I left the US, I unsubscribed to
almost all of them since I was afraid I might be offline for a while
and I didn't want the disks to fill. I never re-subscribed and, the
few that I did keep I punted last week after moving all my crap off of
the old box where I used to read my mail. I can go a few days without
looking at my inbox and really not worry as a huge percentage of the
mail is spam and the rest is mostly from friends and nice people who
take the time to write to me. I surf list archives if and when I
bother to care which, I find, isn't very often anymore. People talk
about rss feeds for mailing lists in glowing terms but I think they're
forgetting that rss doesn't list only the posts with something worth
reading in them. I'd be willing to pay for summarizers to wade through
the dreck and send me the few worthwhile nuggets of info. Screw rss, I
want intelligent agents that won't waste my time.
One of the three lists I remain subscribed to and lurk on is the American Dialect Society
mailing list digest which has a very high signal:noise ratio and
often has something of interest or amusement. One of the most
entertaining posters is Barry
Popik whose atom feed
of word etymologies and ephemera is excellent. He's an
administrative law judge of parking violations in NYC by day and the
modern mad professor for the OED the rest of the time, particularly
for food words. He's also an editor for the upcoming drool-worthy Encycl
opedia of Food and Drink in America from OUP. Today's
digest had a particularly fun list of college slang from Barry who I
presume was looking for "Turd Ferguson" and found an article about a
book on college slang. I had to giggle since I know the phrase and I
know it's not a food. :) I'm not sure which is more disturbing; that
I've actually used Turd Ferguson in a sentence or finding it in a book
title. I think it's mostly a mid-westernism, but slang gets around and
it's hard to say for sure. Turd
Ferguson & the Sausage Party: An Uncensored Guide to College
Slang looks like a pretty hilarious book and a way to make
my English a little more fresh and hip. I mean, I've not heard or said
Turd Ferguson in years! Pure nostalgia. There is a short list of some
of the words from the book.
-
Bar Scar: All the wristbands and ink left over after making
the rounds at the bars.
-
Cash Cow: An ATM.
-
Greek Freak: A new pledge who is super-absorbed in
sorority/fraternity goings-on.
-
Hallcest: The dangerous act of getting with someone on your
hall.
-
Hitting the Snooze Bar: To continue to hook up with someone
even though you should really break up. Prolonging the inevitable.
-
Kelvin Club: The rare feat of having a GPA that equals
absolute zero.
-
Liquid Encouragement: Refers to how alcohol can help you be
able to talk or attempt to talk to anyone.
-
Osmosis: A method of study employed by crammers who fall
asleep with their heads on their books. Not very reliable.
-
Party Foul: An incident that goes against the rules of the
party. For example, spilling your glass of red wine on the Dean's
white carpet during an elegant mixer or mistaking the coat closet for
a bathroom.
-
Pizza Bones: The uneaten crust of a pizza. Often scavenged by
cheap friends like Barry down the hall.
-
Sausage Party: A gathering of many more men than women.
-
Sexiled: When someone is forced to sleep outside his/her room
when his/her roomate wants to have sex in the room.
-
Tomb of the Dead Soldiers: A trashcan filled with many, many
beer cans.
-
Turd Ferguson: A social sore who decides things like exposing
oneself in public or driving drunk are good ideas.
-
Vitamin N: Short for vitamin nicotine. Refers to having a
cigarette first thing in the morning.
-
Vurp: When you burp but some vomit comes up, too. A very
nasty experience.
