Nezua Brings Palabra
Categorized under Blogando | Tags: 2007 Blogger Stylebook
OKAY I BETTER GET MY WORD ON before Skippy gets any more bright ideas and tries to coin my shit.
Here are new words coined by Nezua that will now be entered in the 2007 Blogger Stylebook® and copyrighted so that nobody like the Wizards of Koz can destrip him of his golden chainlink Alpha Omeganess.
• blogmigo, blogmiga, blogmig@ - A compa who blogs. Not just a blogroll item, but a true friend, down wit la causa, and on ya goodside.
• blogando - "blogging" as Spanglish. "Hablar" (To Speak) and some other "AR" verb forms in Español get an "ando" suffix when they are in the "ing" form ("gerund?") Don't worry about it. Just say it like a vato, all cool up in your loft n shit when they yell YO MAN WUT ARE YOU DOOOOOING UP THERE, FOOO? You just drop it like it's hot-- "Blogando, foo's. Check my page in like...ten minutes."
• blogfamous -Someone who forgets that their celebrity vanishes the moment they turn off the computer or leaves the convention.
• blogmocker - Someone who doesn't appreciate the fame you have cultivated with your hard blogging.
• bloggerheads -
[from Blog and Loggerheads]
When you just can't agree with another blogger. ª 2. Bloggerhead used (n.) pejoratively in certain parts of Brooklyn to mean "Person with head stuffed full of blog happenings and unimportant information."• bloggy -
from ["Blog" and "Soggy."]
Sometimes currently used by academic or journalism elites to describe a body of text that feels amateurish, unedited, irrelevant and overly-chatty. Specifically used in this new definition as copy that has "soaked up" blog style as if mimicking it on purpose or an osmosis that has happened as a result of the author having spent too much time reading blogs. • Can imply a sneaky attempt to tweak a print style publication to that of an online one in order to snag more sales. Ej: "Hmmmm...that first article in TIME sure felt a little....bloggy, eh?"• carte blong
[from the Fr. Carte Blanche ("Blank Document") and Blog]
To give someone guest posting abilities in your blog with no stated or implied restrictions. • Be careful when using this word. In Certain South American Countries®, a foreigner's pronunciation could render the phrase identical to a snatch of local mating ritual dialogue.• bloggage - blogwriter's block. Do not use this in a DoodValley fashion such as "Yo, man. That was some SWEEEet bloggage you did!!" It refers more to the word "blockage." The fact that when you say "I've got a bloggage" it sounds like you've got a blockage in your nose and are all stuffed up. It's a little zen sort of snack, this word. Don't underestimate it. (And don't forget I coined it.)
• bloggymouth -
[from Blog and Pottymouth]
1. Diminutive. Someone who cannot talk about anything but blogs.• blogtastic - Something you should never say literally. It is a heavily ironic term. This is a way of saying "Gee. How terrific. Why don't you go BLOG about it?" • In certain suburban areas of Maryland (Bethesda, Gaithersburg, Rockville), it is rumored that the irreverent White youth have reclaimed this word and use the exclamation in earnest, just to "buck the system." This would be: "Hey, Mike! Rad! Definitely blogtastic!" But, unless you are in tight with this "crew," it may not "feel" right for you to try this subversion. It's in your hands. I just own the word now that I've typed it into this webpage. How you use it (and when and how often) is up to you (though I would appreciate a link in your sidebar).
• blogparty - 1. An online Block Party. Such as thet went down at Nezua's Cantina during the last SotU address! • 2. A Block party that you attend with congested nasal passages.
• wagging the blog - 1. A post that is not all that it seems, claiming one agenda while reaching for anotha. Ejemplo: Getting paid to rave up a product/person, and not revealing that fact in your glowing review. Or writing an open letter to Obama that is, in actuality, a coded message to your lover. • 2. Thinking up what to comment on a post when the main purpose of your comment is to leave the link in your signature.
• blongerie - what a woman wears at night at home while blogging. This does not necessarily mean frilly or gauzy silky type things. It would more probably refer to shorts or old, raggedy overalls or pajamas. Nevertheless, a Hetero male is discouraged from using this to refer to his own garments. However, if he wants to, nobody can stop him.
update, thurs, 16:01, Feb 08
• blogosfear -The irrational fear those of typical, mainstream news outlets have of the blogosphere. This term can apply to the fear of the "rough" quality of Blogs, and also to the larger fear that the Mainstream News Outlets clearly entertain: that their day is done, and it is the Blogosphere that is the New Way.
• get your blog on - to write a post expressly utilizing those qualities that you know will only be acceptable in a blog post, as opposed to in a print medium. In other words, to write a passionate piece that uses invective or "from-the-hip" writing, to do so in your blog, and to do so with the full knowledge and intent that it is only in a blog that could ever let yourself go in such a (fantastico) fashion.
update, sat, 11:42, 11 de Octubre 2008
• Blogarrio: Mis blogmigas/os virtual 'hoods. The part of the blogosphere where mis blogmigos/as hang. This is of course, conceptual, as everything is a link away from anything else, potentially. But I use this to mean that part of the internet wherein I find my allies to be!

Please explain, can't figure this out for the life of me! Maybe 'cause I'm boricua and we don't have this particular colloquialism?
Also - blogando - LOVE it. Don't know why I never thought of it! Totally my new favorite word.

hey jack, gracias!
yeah...sometimes i tell very inside jokes when i write which isn't really fair to a new reader...but then again it is, because s/he can always ask! and i'm sorry, here i'm blending an American-adapted French phrase with jokes that use the Spanish language, a film critique joke, and references to stereotypes—as well as counting on internal mental associations to make the joke. Good thing it's not the only joke I was trying to make.
in the movie Falling Down, on which i recently did an analysis , a slur against Latin America is thrown in casually as the Bill Foster character threatens his wife. he says "in certain South American countries it's legal to kill your wife" for something or other. i think of that line, cynically, as a "two-fer" in that it is a way to reinforce in the American moviegoers mind that pervasive image of Latin America as lawless and dangerous while also performing its narrative function as foreshadowing (the statement about wife-killing).
so in the joke i made above i was (again, cynically) referencing this technique that media (and specifically Falling Down,) utilizes to type Latin America with my reference to how lusty "Certain Countries in South America®" are. That should answer your question.
Aside from this (while we're here dissecting a mediocre joke), I was counting on an echo-memory type of function in the reader's mind, or a cockney-type rhyming frame of the coined word to occur, which could (if all the pinballs rolled into the right pockets) allude to an [unwritten] image that would—once remembered or even subconsciously noted—make the "lusty" joke (perhaps) a bit more visceral, or even possible. isn't explaining humor funny? :) i'm not even explaining it well, but I've already killed enough humor cells here.
verdad, supongo the only people who would get the first part of that joke in realtime would be those who read that film analysis closely and know my stance. the second ("schlong" or "dong") part of the joke is hit or miss. But all jokes are anyway! all these things considered, i like to write like this. as if an audience is familiar with my words and concepts. otherwise, it will feel like a sitcom here, with characters and ideas being reintroduced in full every time they appear.
i don't mind explaining myself on points like this, so thanks for asking.

These are brilliant, Nez.
By the way, the site never remembers my personal info. Is this something about allowing cookies or something (my computer knowledge is on a par with that of the avergae nineteenth century Amish man).
