So i’m NOT the only one Posted on August 30, 2002 by grahams Here I was thinking I was the only person hating this douchenozzle-of-a-word.
I agree with his (and your) sentiment about “blog”… hate that word, myself. But he’s missed the point of “wiki” completely, I think… Reply
especially since Wiki is a Hawaiian word, so it is therefore not contrived… :) And at least wiki is a novel concept, unlike weblogs, which are glorified diaries. Reply
from non-nerd land… i don’t even know what a wiki is. but i must say, “douchenozzle” is rather amusing. ha-ha. Reply
Some of the mailing lists I’m on get into HUGE rants about this. Mainly cause this one guy calls himself a “blogger”. Myself, i just can’t ever see wanting to refer to myself that way. It does NOT sound like a compliment. I can see coming up with contractions, but weblog->blog? Come on…. one whole syllable saved. Reply
I remember from the Sega Genesis that the manual for the “Earthworm Jim” game had a joke along the lines, You’re so cool, you refer to him as “EWJ” even though it’s more syllables. Reply
