[...] So after the success of his guest spot, my lovely cousin, cheekiest commenter and all round lovely chap Moon has decided to branch out into the wonderful world of blogging web diaries (Grandad says we’re not allowed to call them blogs). [...]

Yes, I realised the ‘pop my clogs’ element after I posted the comment!

When my younger brother hears the term ‘blogging’ he immediately calls it ‘child-raping’.

‘Blog’ is a disgusting word alright, but I don’t see much other option. perhaps if I ever have the sense to transfer my site from Blogger to WordPress then I’ll feel differently. I only ended up on Blogger because the WordPress site was temporarily out of action when the whim hit me to start blogging.

I say “my thingy”, “my yokey” and “my shite”(not no be confused with “my site”!)

You know, I haven’t really thought about it until now, but you’re right, the word blog does sound a bit shit. From now on I’m calling my site a ‘cultural underground news tannoy’ or C.U.N.T. for short. I will from this day on call myself a CUNTER or perhaps CUNT JOCKEY and my readers will be CUNT LOVERS. I will now have a CUNTROLL down the side of my CUNT, linking to all the other CUNTS in the CUNTOSPHERE. Sorry Grandad, I’m taking up your whole CUNT with my ramblings!

Better get back to my own CUNT before it goes cold.

The big one here is a political blog but not named so .It is “The Huffington Post”. so i would assume those who write it are posters not bloggers and readers are posties, postee’s, posteriors or what? Hell there’s always a problem.Grandad your always starting something.

I don’t know what to call it.. I have no problem with blog, but when you ell others that you blog or have a blog, they lookat you like something that should be sent to a leper colony. Its almost not a polite term in some company.

So any euphamism that you can come up with that works, may be an idea I’ll use.

AACCK.. the unofficial fire works are starting – all over. Happy Canada Day !!!!

Blog is a horrible word, I agree. But what about the people who read them?

“Screen sucking” is a term used to describe what a person does when they’ve finished doing what they set out to do on their computer, but start to waste time doing stuff that they could do without.

I don’t mind being called a blogger compared to a screen sucker.
