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.

Wow – that blurfing post is over three years old. Now I’m going to go BLITCH about how old that makes me feel. Heh.

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.

this could be bigger than “truthyness”

All this blitching started me twitching, so now I’m switching.
(*Sorry, couldn’t help myself*)

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