To Coin A Phrase

In an email today, I attempted to explain to someone how one can sometimes grow weary of reading blogs when a certain “mood” strikes the blogosphere and everyone’s entries seem, well, petty, whiny and dull. Since I’m both tired and distracted, I wound up making a typo that might very well become part of my vocabulary:

Blitching - n., v., adj. - [1] A contraction formed from a combination of the words blog and bitching; [2] A blog entry written in a petty and whinny manner lacking entertainment value; [3] To engage in the creation and dissemination of a blog entry or series of blog entries which contribute no new information or insightfulness and which are neither funny nor worth the readers’ time. (See also: crap.)

Yeah, I like that. It’s the blitching that makes the blurfing a bore. And, yes, that goes for my own blitching, too.

links from TechnoratiI sprayed the foundation, set off a bomb in the sub-earth below the garage; and, tomorrow when the TB isn’t around, I’m going to bomb the myriad crawl spaces we have under this infested hovel. This is another reason, besides politics, for me to blitch about the south. Bugs were never a problem up in New York.

Yes, but you’re the only one who succinctly defined blurfing! Not that I’m trying to be blitchy.

Seems like that’s all there is to do in the middle of winter,,watch the snow fall and blitch about it!

And with all the dry skin that winter produces, there’s plenty of blitching about itching.

All this blitching started me twitching, so now I’m switching.

Oh, great. So now Stephen Colbert’s going to start blitching about it.
