Interesting TTLG RSS Feed

I just upgraded to Mac OS 10.4 & the Safari browser has a RSS button. So I clicked it while I was on TTLG:

loccinaucinihilipilification?

 

EDIT: That's actually a word?

the categorizing of something as worthless

[demagogue]

Actually it's floccinaucinihilipilification, starts with an f.

 

There was a Geico (car insurance) commercial that used this word recently, in something like a mock spelling bee. And ever since that commercial, people have been throwing this word around.

 

I actually looked up the entymology for it because when you see a word like that, you want to know where it comes from. First, you have to know that the word was coined as a joke.

 

It's like 4 separate Latin words strung together that each mean "utterly worthless" in their own colorful way (it's like worthless-useless-nothingness-an abomination), in the form "to make as..." or yeah, probably better: "to categorize as..." or "to deem as...". Apparently, there was some literature club at Oxford in the 1880s that coined it as a joke for their literary journal when they really wanted to pompously insult somebody's work. It was like the motto for the journal, what they liked to do. (Their version had hyphens between each Latin word, as well ... it was more like a phrase than a single word per se.) To me, the story sounds like an example of about the most pretentious a group of humans can possibly get, the kind of prank Frasier Craine might have pulled.

I googled "Mario humping Peach" - ttlg is second!

Well that makes sense if people are discussing it there

This reminds of me of those AOL search entries that were leaked onto the internet; it was hilarious to see some of the random combinations people would type in their search engines.

 

And just what the hell is a holophonic haircut?

[demagogue]

I'm guessing this: http://holophonichaircut.ytmnd.com/

 

Holophonic is a carefully mastered sound file that sounds 3 dimensional when you listen to it on headphones.

Somebody just did it for a haircut.

There was a discussion about it at TTLG on that matchbox holophonic file, so that was the link.

 

To me, it sounds a little like what you'd call Max Headroom getting for his hair-style, though.
