Are Bloggers the missing link?

Are Bloggers the missing link??? Maybe....

With the popularity of blogging at an all time high right now it's no wonder that, like texting, bloggers are developing their own blog language or "blanguage". I've also noticed some new blog slang lately (Blang) as well which is very similar to on line chat acronyms.

Now don't get all excited....it's not going to be an entirely new language and I'm not talking about learning to speak Klingon, and no, we won't be donning uniforms, wearing capes or even have a secret handshake. We will, however, be easily recognizable to others of our own kind. We are the ones that stand out in a crowded room because of our bloodshot eyes, arthritic fingers, swollen thumbs and laptops chained to our chest like anchors. When acknowledging a potential blogger, just make the two thumb "wiggle". If the other person "wiggles" back, then you know.

What I am suggesting is a way to convert the text shorthand to blogging. Here are some of my thoughts on new "blords" for our "blanguage":

New blogging blords:

Beeple: People who blog. I'm a beeple, you're a beeple, too. Yippee! I've finally found my Beeple!!!

Bloghog: A beeple who's obsessed with blogging.

Serial Blogger: Someone who posts constantly with inane, boring posts over and over again. Someone please dial 911B (see below), would ya?

Blog-anon: Where we all should be....Hello, my name is (your name here) and I'm a blogaholic).

Bliction: Addiction to Blogging.

Blogger-vention: A group of well mean ill informed interfering non bloggers who want to talk to us about our bliction. We're not bad, just so misunderstood.

Shorthand:

BRB: Blog right back

DIBTOL: Did I blog that out loud? Used when you write a comment, hit the send button and then slap your forehead. Did I really just say that? Quick! Hit the edit key!

ABITPIWTITD: A blog in the post is worth two in a draft. Use this if you have twenty drafts and you haven't posted any of them.

BOBAR: Blogged out beyond all recognition. We can all relate to this. When you haven't slept or showered for over 24 hours and, you refer to your family as "those people".

BYOB: Bring your own blog.

2MIB: Too much information blogging.

PMLAYP: Pee myself laughing at your post.

RTFRBP: Read the "freaking" rules before posting.

4COLNNIB: For crying out loud....not now! I'm blogging!

AATWB: Asleep at keyboard while blogging. Come on, admit it. We've all done it!

ROFLWC: Roll on the floor laughing while commenting.

999: Spouse or significant other watching-quiet. Shhhh!

9999: Spouse or significant other not watching-all clear-blog on!

411B: Who's got the info on the best blog?

911B: I'm blogging and I can't stop! Call for help now!

I'm sure you have your own ideas and thoughts on words to add to this list. Please leave them here in the comments so we can begin to form our Blogging Blible. Thanks. Live long and Blog! May the blog be with you! A blog a day keeps the Doctor away. Okay, now I'm done....someone please call 911B for me before I have a blog attack.
