Language

So, I’m not sure why, but I’m actively trying to get some words and phrases replaced in the english language. It’s a hobby of mine.

Phrase 1 – MOG

The underdog in this whole event, MOG is a relatively unknown acronym-pronounced-as-word. It stands for “Mall of Georgia”, which we live quite near to. It’s a great acronym, being as spelling the word out is a massive 4 syllables, and saying MOG is a quick 1. So next time you want to goto the mall of Georgia, just say instead that you, “wanna hit the MOG.”

note: it doesn’t help that this acronym is a character in the popular Final Fantasy series of games. Alas.

Phrase 2 – Internet Acronyms of all sorts

This one is leet++. In my life, perhaps on accident, I have started incorporating acronyms used in Internet instant messaging and chat rooms into my grammar. Examples.

No Problem – I say np, pronounced “nee-pee.”

Be right back – I say brb, obviously “bee are bee.”

laughing out loud – I say lol, “ell oh ell”… which is especially ironic because by saying “ell-oh-ell”, I’m not actually laughing out loud at all. Awesome.

Phrase 3 – Internets

Given good ole Ted Stevens beliefs about sending Internets, I have embraced the word “Internets” as a full-time replacement for every usage of the word “Internet.” Something about making it plural makes me giggle.

FL: Need a kidney? – Randon Iranians will HOOK THAT UP.
