Funny — I wasn’t aware I was following you, Newt. Now I see how you hit 1.3 million. And you, ciaran diamond. Who the hell are you?

This past weekend I used the word “Vicodin” in a Tweet. Two hours later, this lady/rehab center started following me.

Questioningly: Eliminate a Word from the English Language

While we’re on the subject of words, how about getting rid of one?

The first word that came to mind was “moist,” but apparently that was the first word that came to a lot of people’s minds. Also considered “niggardly,” because that really should never have been a word. But TNY is looking for “a funny answer, though we will also accept answers that are witty, sharp, amusing, ingenious, or whimsical,” and “niggardly” is none of those things.

Ergo, “Jewess.”



To Who It May Concern:

In 2004, I got my first “cell phone.” Late in 2007, I joined The Facebook. Now it is 2011; I have decided to leap onto the bandwagon early this time, ahead of the curve. That’s right — I’ve become a member of the Twitter.com community, which recently made a big splash in the news when it played a major role in the Anthony Weiner scandal.

I wish I could express my excitement in fewer than 140 characters, but I am not that pithy, concise, or succinct — to say nothing of my inability to be laconic, get down to brass tacks, or spin a memorable epigram — so I had to express my elation here instead. Unfortunately, elation soon devolved into indignation when I logged onto the homepage and saw this blatant grammatical error on the banner:

Who — yes, it’s “who” in this case — is the in-house copy editor over there at Twitter.com?

Anyway, you can follow me @WolmanTweets. If you do, I will follow you in return, and who knows where things will escalate from there.
