“New Slang” Experts Are Totally Clueless
“TRENDSPOTTER” AND “SLANG GURU” PRODUCE TOTALLY PATHETIC LIST OF EXPRESSIONS FOR THE COMING YEAR
FITSNews - December 27, 2006 - Leave “New Slang” to the Shins (pictured above) because the so-called “experts” clearly don’t have a clue. (Oh, and be sure to watch Saturday Night Live January 13 if you don’t have a clue who the Shins are).
In the meantime, “Trendspotter” Marian Salzman and “Slang Guru” Grant Barrett have put together a list of expressions that they contend will be all the rage in 2007.
They include:
Data Valdez: Personal private info accidentally released online
Gastroporn: The glorification of food
Hummer house: Grotesquely large single-family residence
3,000-mile screwdriver: Micromanagement from the home office
Wow.
These are so bad we really don’t know where to start. In fact, if “Trendspotting” and being a “Slang Guru” are actual jobs, then the people who came up with this crap need to be fired.
Just to be sure, we tried a few of these “cutting edge” expressions while getting our Venti Moccha Fraps at Starbucks this morning. Sure enough, people did look at us like we were from the future. Except it was a future that totally sucked.
FITSNews has put out the call to four of our hippest friends - $D’Brickashaw, Classic Antebellum Beauty, Scourgalicious and Todd T - to figure out what the cool kids will really be saying in 2007.
Look for our report soon.
