from the annals of the lame...

so we already know the english languare is shit (silent letter? WTF's up with that? if they're silent, what business do they have being there? and I & E thing? please...) but this week it got a whole bunch worse as shagadelic and w00t were recognized as words.

shagadelic, adj. slang
sexy, esp. in a psychedelic or 'retro' way. also as a general term of approval. popularized by the film austin powers: international man of mystery (1997) a parody of 1960s spy films, in which the term was used as a catchphrast by the main character.
recognised by: oxford online

w00t, interjection
expressing joy (it could be after a triumph, or for no reason at all); similar in use to the word "yay"
recognized by: merriam webster online

alright oxford online, i was on board for truthiness but that's because stephen cobert is way cooler (how lame and 6th grade does that sound? way cool man!) than austin powers.
and merriam webster online? l33t speak? really?!? i'm officially not talking to you anymore.
