I was just wondering to myself where some of our common expressions come from. Someone, somewhere must be the instigator of such things. Then they just start to catch on then spread. So I decided I'd start one myself, and I'll need help from all of you. I figure we have enough people scattered around the country that if we throw this into the mix, it's bound to catch on somewhere. We get a few dozen stupid high school kids hooked then it'll go like wildfire.

Here it is:

Q - How you doin'?
A - Tony.

Tony. As in Tony the Tiger. As in grrrrreeeaaat!. In addition to Tony, you may also use tt or t squared. They all mean the same thing.

I'll need each of you to use this at least 50 times a day. Preferable in crowded areas like bus stations, grocery stores and Starbucks. If you'd like to dress up like a high school student and fling in around in the halls during class changes, that'd be a big help.

I refuse to use my own name as a buzzword. How about "Shitsplints?"

Don't fuck with my buzzword. It is an unstoppable force. It will destroy all in its path.

Only a taintwrangler would intentionally invent a buzzword.

I tell you, the best buzzword out there is "wirthling." Synonymous with all which reeks of donky sodomy.

Would it not be better to turn the biscuit game into an international craze? It'd be a nice change to have a fad that was actually interesting. Also, it would save me the bother of having to change my behaviour.

My friends and I all decided to do this before our friend Pablo moved to Florida. We decided that attacking on two fronts would be better than just trying to make it spread from one locale. This is before any of us were online.

I don't think it worked, mainly because we were all baked and none of us remember what the word was.

"How you doin'?"

"Tony. How 'bout you, bro?"

"Shit, fool. I got a full on anti-Tony workin' here. That fuckin' taintwrangler Johnson came over to my place last night when we were asleep and wirthling'd my dog."

"That's harsh, man."

Intentionally trying to start something like this can be damn funny.

I have a friend who one day we all decided to call 'Bob' (thats not his name) just to see if it would wind him up. It failed, but to this day most of us still call him that.

Weird, huh?

I coined a new phrase a few months ago, and I am pleased to announce that I have heard a couple of my friends use it recently. Yes, I am officially a trendsetter.

The phrase is "pile of arse", denoting that something is quite bad, on some kind of epic scale. It is gradable, but is always quite intense in its connotations.

For example:
"Compared to the book, the first Jurassic Park movie was a big pile of arse."
"I wasn't a fan of the first one, but the second Jurassic Park movie was an even bigger pile of arse."
"Seen Jurassic Park III? Don't bother - bloody huge pile of arse."
"The whole Jurassic Park film franchise is a great big pile of arse."

I don't even mean to use it any more - it just slips out as a natural part of my everyday speech.

tony:

Marked by an elegant or exclusive manner or quality: a tony country club.

And I sure ain't going around saying "tt! tt!"

And "t-squared" sounds like you've been violated using a ruler with a perpendicular crosspiece.

I like "fleshnozzle" better. As in:

"How ya doing?"

"FLESHNOZZLE."

I like George Carlin's idea that the phrase "way much" should be used. His example was "Ice cream tastes way much better than sewage."

My boyfriend and I use "way much" a lot.

Oh yeah? Well you don't know about the super-secret ultra cool site that I know about. But I can't tell you anything about it because of the oath I took.

I went to the golf course this afternoon and ripped a ballwasher out of the ground with a tow-rope tied to my nipple rings.

And now golfers use his extended nipples to manually clean the dirt out of ball dimples.
