new "spam" slang

ok here's another edition of new slang. yes, it's another from the jeddster. here's his email to me this morning...


I keep getting these 3 word spam subject lines so I am going to start keeping track of them and make a spam speak dictionary for myself. Here are four from this morning and then the one from the other day plus my translations of what they mean....

I am nodular = I'm sleepy
I go columnar = I'm heading inside
Be go collapsible = Get out of my face
He my seething = I can't stand him
On my barney = I swear on my best friend's life

upcoming shows

just pause for a moment

sometimes new york is the loneliest city in the world. not for a lack of smiles or friendly conversation, but because everyone who is here is too busy to pause for more than a new york minute. sometimes it would be nice just to stop and connect with others for real.

love songs for the cold, bitter winter

valentine's day is coming up... but since i don't celebrate that hallmark holiday, i instead thought up a torrid love story in my head and put together a playlist of the imaginary soundtrack. listen to the jukebox above and tell me if you can feel the storyline.

new slang

time for another edition of new slang terms to add to your vocabulary...

"brand new": jedd told me about this kinda southern slang from back in his virginia days. "brand new" is what you call someone who's trying to front. maybe you've hooked up with them, and then the next time you see them, they try to act like nothing happened or it ain't no big thang. so you say, "aw, look who's tryin' to be all 'brand new.'" or maybe you see someone who suddenly thinks they're the shit or who's all bragadocious. they're not only trippin', they's think they's all brand new!

"i'm the poo... take a whiff." jenna said this the other day, and i thought it was the funniest thing you could say. she admitted it was a line from her favorite cheerleading movie, bring it on! ah, the memories.

ascap and the deli present... @ the annex

let's discover the next best thing

hey everyone, so i've been thinking. i know lots of people are either complaining or obsessing over SXSW and whatnot, but i think we're forgetting why we love SXSW so much -- the original glory of the festival was that you could go there without knowing any of the bands who are performing, and DISCOVER music you love for the next 15 minutes of your life. so this gives me some renewed joy and hope for this year's festival.
