well done, citahellion. you've done it again

an nlog is a wasted attempt at writing a blog... because the n is next to the b

mug, i think we will link this to your famous "nlog" as an example of what happens when you are too inebriated to speak, let alone type

Yes, I'm still thinking of more possibilities...

blong (BLAWNG): A blog entry that is one gigantic paragraph, spanning more than a screenful of text, which looks much too imposing to attempt to slog through. Alternatively, a blog entry that contains such a paragraph.

blaugh (BLAWG) or blaugher (BLAWG-'r): a blog or blog writer that consistently makes you want to scream.

orgassm (OR-gass-'m): The incredibly good feeling that some writers apparently get from pounding out mile after mile of hot air in their blogs (or blaughs, as the case may be).

punktuation (PUNK-chu-A'-shun): excessive use of exclamation points, question marks, commas, hyphens, and periods, especially when trying to emphasize something that is clearly pedestrian in nature.

citahellion .... thanks !. i love them all. i really should finish this thing, but i keep hoping i'll get more, because they are are so terriffic.

sal, i am also guilty of the occasional orgassm hehe. citahellion, your way with words is such a gift.

all i have to add today is the very lame:

vommenter (vom-meant-er): commenter who destroys their own point by making it so long winded and boring that nobody ends up caring what they initially meant

blackhissting (black-hiss-ting): knee-jerk reaction of temporarily blacklisting a blogger during a "hissy fit" one later regrets

bakerblogger (bay-kerr-blogg-uh):blogger so intelligent, well-informed and reasonable that their comments humble you even though they don't intend it to be that way (a nod to bakerstreet)

thanks again sal & citahellion. i'm going to try very hard in the next week or so to get this "finished". if anybody else happens to read this, please add anything if you'd like to, i'd love it get bigger before we're done

Perhaps you'd be willing to include these...

blacklusting (BLACK-lust-ing): wishing that you could blacklist a person who is commeanting (q.v.) on someone else's blog.

incredibull (in-CRED-ih-Buhl'): an argument that you know is ridiculous but that everyone else seems to be buying into.

murketing (MURK-'t-ing): obscuring unfavorable aspects of your own product or behaviour by "muddying the waters" with information about other peoples' or products' problems.

blacklusting (BLACK-lust-ing): wishing that you could blacklist a person who is commeanting (q.v.) on someone else's blog.

ah ! the dreaded powerlessness of watching helplessly as as a quality thread gets beaten to death by somebody determined to have their say in a horribly repetitive and/ closed minded way.
... and way to use one of "our" words ! yay !
citahellion, you are better at this than me !. same as in my riddle thread (which i WILL get back to one of thse days). i make these threads but you derserve the credit for them because of the amount of your input. thanks so much for keeping this going with me. it's actually getting to be a decent size now, and i'm so secretly proud of it ! hehe

thanks again, "my puzzling friend"

You should post a second riddling article; the activity on old articles drops off tremendously once they aren't within one's last 5 articles or so, generally speaking. (Yes, I could post one myself, but you'll get a lot more traffic than me.

)

p.s. you have divined an element of my character: I secretly enjoy being puzzling.
