New word: bloffle
Jun 20th, 2007 by Lynne
Sara invented a new word: bloffle, otherwise known as kerfuffles of various sizes occuring in blogs across the net. There’s something about summertime in Romancelandia that turns women’s thoughts to scandal. And is it just me, or does it seem like people in the publishing world pick this time of year to spectacularly self-destruct?
This makes at least three summers in a row where Romancelandia has been one scandal after another. Before that, I think I must’ve had another hobby or something.
Yes, spread the love of my new goofy word. Bloffles for everyone!
Man. This summer seems particularly bloffle prone, though. Maybe I just wasn’t paying as much attention before. Good freaking lord.
Welgian bloffles for everyone!
I think this summer may top even last year’s, Sara. And it started early, too!
There for a minute I thought you’d said “Wedgian,” James :-)
I do have to wonder what it is about the summer solstice that seems to drive Romancelandia crazy. If the heat is getting to you, get some ice tea and some air conditioning people!
Hi, Seressia! I hadn’t thought about it, but it does always seem to heat up around the solstice, doesn’t it?
You’d think we were in the midst of a months-long full moon.
In this order, for US folks, I think it’s: 1) the heat; 2) the stress of impending Nationals; 3) the gas prices; 4) people’s kids being out of school and driving them nuts so they take it out on everyone else; 5) caramel shooting penis guns; 6) having to wear bathing suits in public and other stressful summer themed items of clothing; 7) the increased UV rays frying our brains (slightly different from 1); 8) the worse then usual crap on tv; 9) the fact there were hardly any April showers so the cheery May flowers are nonexistent, unless you pay through the nose for them at Lowe’s; and 10) family vacations, because, I’m so sure it’s a vacation.
Too true, Jody! In our neck of the woods, the heat accounts for a LOT. And this year, we got robbed of a real spring, because April was too cold and May was all smoky.
It was so hot today that I think my cerebral fluids started to boil away. That’s my excuse for the drivel I’m writing today, anyway!
