I hate the word “kinky”. It makes me think of desperate married couples searching vainly for a way to “spice up” their sex life. “What about these ‘vibrating nipple clamps’?” “Ooh that’s kinky!” “Yeah? Well we should get these then.” “Oh wow they’re twenty dollars, though!” “Jesus Dora, we’re trying to save our marriage here.” [...]

Patootie
Barf barf barf barf vomit barf puke barf puke throwup barf. You know who you are, people who use the word “patootie”. You’re probably a Mormon or maybe a little league coach who lures children into your dungeon to play video games. Whichever one you are, the world would be better off without you and [...]
Kerfuffle (Revisited)
I hate kerfuffle so much, I have to post about it a second time. Last year I did a post on this word, and the entirety of the post went as follows: See brouhaha. Then gouge out your eyes. Amazingly, no other word I have posted on has caused such an uproar (commotion, disturbance, furor, row). [...]
Meme
I don’t fucking care at all that Richard Dawkins invented this word. It’s straight up horrible and nobody will point out this fact so I guess I have to. First of all, Richard Dawkins is a dick. I mean his NAME is even Dick. I’m an atheist but I think between he and Christopher Hitchens, [...]

In case you’ve been living in a cage in your uncle Harry’s basement, subsisting off sewer rats that venture too close to your putrid, pus-spewing, gangrenous foot, which you fractured trying to escape but were thwarted by [...]
Meta
People, listen up and listen good. “Meta” is not an adjective. It is a prefix which can take one of two meanings: connected with a change of position or state metamorphosis metabolism higher; beyond metaphysics metalanguage But now some people have decided it would be a good idea to take this PREFIX and turn it [...]
Oxymoron
Get rid of this word. Just get rid of it. We cannot have a word that ends in “moron” that has nothing to do with morons. Granted the “moron” in “oxymoron” comes from the same place as the “moron” in “moron” (the Greeks, those pedophiles), and I’m sure at some point this word had a [...]

In drumming, in particular using the snare drum, there are these things called “rudiments”. A rudiment is a basic pattern one learns to build a kind of drumming vocabulary. There are several national and international drumming organizations that recognize the most important rudiments, and currently there are at least 40 accepted rudiments. These range from [...]
