All I want for Christmas

[thebitterguy]

Is for the word hypocracy to go away.

The word is hypocrisy.

(and Before anyone pulls out that line by james_nicoll about English being a whore language, I warn you, I run low on Christmas cheer)

I would also like any disc from U2's library, as I've realized I don't own any of them.

Oh, yeah: And if something is so obscure a personal in-joke reference that you have to explain it, explaining it just makes you sound like a retard. Just make the damn joke, and if anyone cares enough to ask, then explain.

Do not question the fuhrer.

Unless it's in the sense of "rule by the subnormal." I could get behind that definition.

Or, come to think of it, "rule by overeager PR" or even "rule by slugs who feel that the rules should not apply to them".

I think of this as footnoting, and it drives me bats, except when I am doing it...

Actually, a "hypocracy" is a nation ruled by hypocrisy. Accordingly, "hypocrat" is actually a word, too.

You better be saying that in a high-pitched, German-accented falsetto, mister!

I applaud you, sir.

Had I the power to grant you that gift, I gladly would.

Exactly! Between the two of us, I have no idea what we're saying.

And that's how it should be.

[thebitterguy]

I don't care HOW they use it, as long as it doesn't mean "a person who proclaims one thing while doing another".

Dammit.

[thebitterguy]

Is there any other way, really?
