Help him out, Tecs!

Tecumseh said...: Harvard is a verb, all of a sudden? C'mon, Mr Rot, you gotta be kiddin'.; 10/04/2009 10:07 AM
Mr roT said...: It's called verbing, remember Dr Shakespeare?; 10/04/2009 10:09 AM
Arelcao Akleos said...: Ah, Neologismotopia.
For instance: "Obamal"- the optimal state of the rate of national destruction by a Progressive Leader.

The verbing path to Neologismotopia is, as Rot notes, a classic. "Harvarding" is a pretty nifty. Gonna start using it today.
e.g. "Sure, Slummer, you can Harvard this paper. But if you do I'll give you a gentleman's C"

Now, what about "Elying"? Are we to neglect our erstwhile countrymen down New Haven way?; 10/04/2009 11:27 AM
Mr roT said...: Thank you for your support, AA. Tecs thinks Safire's way was the only way. And in a way he's right...

A question though, Oh Bard. Shouldn't it be "Obyssmal"?

Yes, it must be nice to Harvard one's way through life while the rest of humanity has to state-school it. Ah, to Yale a couple days...

Dudes, should we Yale or you feel like really working for a law degree?

That was asked of Van Jones, no poor turner of words himself.; 10/04/2009 1:00 PM
