I protest and want Flay's title to be

Hamsterdamnit

.

I AM the grammar police.

Nope.

Sorry, but "wiktionary" is not an actual source.

"Damn it" is two words. It was only put together for the title, which has no spaces. Any "one word" contraction of "damn it" is not standard English. You guys can still use it if you want, but it will bother me.

I actually am not a prescriptivist, though of course from that exchange alone it would look like it. Can't watch that video right now.

My point was that arguing over which slang word is more widely accepted is pissing into the wind.

I was never suggesting "damnit" as an alternative to "dammit." I was saying that "dammit" is a word that annoys me, since it is functionally NO different at all from its actual derivative, "damn it."

It's like arguing that "horse shit" should be "horseshyt" for no reason at all.

While it is a word that annoys me on a personal level, I only said something as a funny haha because of the grammar police thing that was going on, since it's over the top.

I THINK IT IS OKAY

But on second thought, I should probably morally object because of the linguicism against wolves... Blegh.

Personally can't think of anything better than Killed the Radio Star. Easily my fave.

All of the Isa titles are terrible.

I don't get the Wik reference, no, but it didn't come off of anything he did on the site. We discussed what he liked and someone came up with a title. Even if it is clever, it didn't come about organically and I don't like it.

Killed the Radio Star
, but why:

First and foremost is This post where Amrun states that she likes this title. It's not the only thing that matters, but when a community title clicks with the user that is a huge marker to me that a title describes that person well.

Secondly it's a very easy link to make: Who killed the radio star? Video. Video -> Youtube, bam. It's not a long convoluted in-joke, it's accessible.

I think it's a very cute little story, and Amrun's response to it is very indicative of her (to me, at least, and evidently to a few others).

Finally, a good marker that this isn't a horrible decision is that most of the argument was not "title-worthiness", but more about exactly what form the story should take (think back to Thor's title if you don't get why this matters). People evidently support Amrun receiving a title, people evidently support the incident being funny, I just had to choose the punchline.

To those who came up with ideas that weren't selected, I'd just like to thank you for making that one an awesomely interactive discussion, rather than general bitching and sniping.

I laughed.

I think I like House the best, honestly, but Nurse Joy is a great dichotomy and I like it. Plus his job is closer to a nurse.

It's a general consensus that we don't want to reward infamy.

Nominate saporovirus for UrethraFinder

Amrun · Post Post #425 (isolation #15) » Sat Jun 09, 2012 6:25 pm

Read the Relationships thread.

Several men discovered that women have a separate hole for peeing... Hilarity ensued. Apparently real life doctors call sapo the "UrethraFinder" because she's good at it. She was particularly hilarious in this exchange.

Why not? It's not even sexual. She doesn't play much anyway.

I think

Amazing

is still the best. I like it because Matt wants everyone else to know that they're amazing, but I think he needs a reminder that HE'S amazing.

While the title is funny, and I like gunny, not sure he's really earned it on his own merit. It's not something he did besides "not be shotty."

Papa Zito's current title is bettter than that.
