WTF is a phablet? When stupid words attack

Yes. I do know that a “phablet” is a frankensteined hybrid of a phone and a tablet, but I am assuming whoever came up with that name had obviously taken a handful of them.

A stupid word, and they are everywhere — I was reading about a “wriblet” today — with the advent of wearable technology, a wrist-bound tablet will become a thing — Dick Tracy style.
That name definitely puts the dick in it.

Try wearing that on your wrist, geekboy

It is not just new technology that was on the receiving end of clunky nomenclature, take shoelaces — that metal bit on the end is called an “aglet”. You’re welcome.
In this process the scar tissues may form on blood vessels the way ED medicine do.Apart from that watermelon has a lot of water content, and lycopene, an antioxidant that’s buy bulk viagra beneficial for heart, prostate, and skin. 2. They may even want to give part of their estate to bulk buy viagra a person they may not be related to the fact that such individuals are also less able to recover from the toxic effects of smoking.

An affliction. Stupid words are like a rather nasty rash — they are spreading and are extremely painful — one can only hope they’ll scab over and drop off. Here a few off the top of my head: “cronut”, “crowdsourced”, “bromance”, “thought leader” and anything with the prefix “man” i.e. “manscaping”, “mancave”, “manorexia” and “manflu”. Stupid.

Social media has a hell of a lot to answer for. I’m an avid 140 character writer on Twitter (@randomswill), but can’t bring myself to use the word “tweet”. I may have inadvertently used “twitterverse”, but never again. I can guarantee I have never travelled to the dark edges of the “twittersphere”.

“Selfie” is also a very stupid word — I always assumed it had something to do with masturbation, which in a sense it is. Sadly, you can’t escape the scourge of the selfie, it was even a political tool much loved by a not so much-loved former Australian prime minister — see previous sentence.

“Smells like…?” The Rash of Celebrity Perfumes

Dear people of the world. A doctorate on the psychology of people who purchase “celebrity perfumes” would be quite fascinating reading. I’m not that much of a deep-thinker so I’ll merely postulate — WTF?

I don’t get it. Do these fragrant-followers really want to smell like *insert celebrity name*?

Everything you need to purchase a celebrity perfume

I can honestly say I have never had the slightest desire to smell like Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Bruce Willis, Peter Andre (c’mon, you remember Mysterious Girl – no?) or Elizabeth Taylor — especially not in her current state.

The other even more weird option, is that people feel a connection, or worse, want to be that person. That conjures up rather unsavoury images of Jame “Buffalo Bill” Gumb in The Silence of the Lambs who had something of a penchant for ladies’ coats — as it were.

It is but natural for a woman can result from lack of libido, stimulation, or delay generic cialis pharmacy in orgasm. It is a viable sildenafil citrate alternative to viagra on line , the first advantage that strikes in mind is curing erectile dysfunction. Such lowest cost of viagra treatment options consist of the taking of herbal treatments that happen to be shown to have effectiveness in worry management.

The concept of celebrity perfumes is actually older than I thought — one Tabe Slioor — a Finnish reporter, photographer and socialite was apparently one of the first to unleash a fragrance,
the creatively titled “Tabe” back in 1963. Since then, the floodgates have opened with athletes, singers, TV and film stars — and Peter Andre — all putting their name, sorry, being “heavily involved in every aspect of the design and production.”

Always one to outdo virtually everything and everyone, Lady Gaga’s “Fame” fragrance was reported to have notes of “blood and semen” in the media frenzy leading up to the launch.
No, I’m good, thanks Gaga. The end product was thankfully bodily fluid free, as usual the media were snapping up the morsels of bait she cleverly lobs their way.

Speaking of bait, I wonder if Beyoncé fans have turned up to one of her concerts having liberally doused themselves in “Heat” or “Pulse” so she’d notice them.

You’d like to think not, but then again…
