After 2 ½ years, I have yet to successfully come up with a replacement for the word “blog”.  After 2 ½ years, I still hate the word.  With the word “blog” becoming more and more a part of everyday conversation and also a buzzword for the media to use, this bastardly coined word won’t be leaving our consciousness any time soon.  The sound of the word just grates on my ears.

Maybe I’m getting to that stage in life where some things seemed better but back in the 1980s and early 90s, when Sniglets were in their heyday; great coined words like “cinemuck” came into our lexicon.  "Cinemuck", by the way, was the gunky stuff you found on the bottom of movie theatre floors.  But now we have these terribly coined words like Dramedy, RomCom and Infotainment.

Back to the blog discussion, the word really does contain a negative connotation overall now; and deservedly so in a lot of instances.  Sure, changing the name of that would be akin to putting lipstick on a pig but I need a new name and I need it now.

Blog.  Rhymes with bog, slog, flog, fog, smog, and clog.  All dreary things that lead one to drink Grog.
