I blame the daily show.

And even The Daily Show's stretching the meaning of the word more often than not. When Boing Boing does it, they're not even in the same ball park most of the time.

i think they forgot what it meant when jon came on. during craig, their zen was much more zen.

This is not Zen.

This is Zen. Or perhaps this.

You can't put about:blank in a comment! Who knew?

it isn't like xeni jardin can just change her assumed name...

Thank you for using the proper placement of quotation marks.

And thank you also for not using the UNIX-y custom of grave-grave-text-apostrophe-apostrophe anymore.

(Reply) (Thread)

That's UNIX-y? I thought it was {\LaTeX}-y.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread) (Expand)

Uh, pardon me, but what UNIX custom? Anybody who would use the backtick to quote the beginning of a string is an unqualified asshat, or writing m4 and thus may also qualify for the former category. UNIX people quote strings all day long and double backticks followed by double ticks is not a valid syntax in any known sane language, not to mention a gross typographical inefficiency.

Now look at that, you've made me go and waste my keystrokes.
Have a nice day.

"on acid" can also take a long walk off a short pier.

Pity that you've eliminated "Words Which Will Make Me Leave The Party" from jwz.org.

*raises hand* guilty of said overuse, though I highly doubt you've ever seen a link I've posted. But I'll still stop now. Also, ==rmitz.

I somehow have never seen this used to link to something. I'm not sure whether to feel thankful, or entirely out of the loop.

I _do_ need to find a canonical list to the Matt Groening Banned Words lists, though. Last I checked everything2 didn't have them all. It did however remind me that there was something called an ArchDeluxe, once upon a time.

One of the more popular offenders, regularly linked from here.

May we also add (or subtract) "so fucked" and "whacked" to (from) the list?

If you can't think of anything descriptive or interesting to say about it, just say it's "cool," or "awesome," if it's really cool.

I appreciate the content supplied by boingboing, and I like most of what "Xeni" has to say, but her attitude just makes me want to give up on the web entirely.

(Reply) (Thread)

Yeah, zen is really dumb!

Cool expressions? Dear Interweb, Dear Japanese, I Salute Our New...,

Here's one I like! "Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out".

Isn't that something one is supposed to have work out of one's system a few weeks after reading Gödel, Escher, Bach ?

(Reply) (Thread)

Obviously some people aren't finishing it.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

which is funny since boingboing always does the zen business and they link to you a lot.

(Reply) (Thread)

You may be interested in stopsayingthat, as it is designed for such posts.

(Reply) (Thread) (Expand)

Those communities irritate me for several reasons. I would like to post the entire contents of stopsayingthat to stopsayingthat, and it would not be zen.
