The Legend of the Abbreves

There are many words in the English language. 1,025,109.8 words. There are many phones. 290,290,000 Americans with them. There are many lazy people. There is no way to determine this, but you know who you are! And, because of that, there are many abbreviations. Over 1,400 of them. That may not seem like lot...  The full list here.  Many of them are dumb and should never be used.  The fact that they exist though, mean people used them at least once.  That doesn't matter though.  They've already been made and I can't reverse time.  I wish I could though, that would be cool. Back on the topic at hand though, these abbreviations, known as abbreves by someone I don't know.  Another thing I don't know is what I will talk about.  I guess I could talk about the history of texting.  In 1933 the first telex service began in New York.  Telex was a network of machines made for sending text-based messages to other machines(Surprised there isn't any accounts of pranks!).  The first real text message sent said,"Merry Christmas!" and was sent to Richard Jarvis who was at a Christmas party at the time.  The full history of text messaging is very interesting, but a bit too long to put into one post, and I'm lazy and really need to get this post out. So here is the link for the history on text messages.

Keep Calm and Read This Post

Parody Poster

Keep Calm and Carry On is a widely known and popular phrase that people put on shirts, posters, and their computer and phone wallpapers.  It has a long and interesting history, spanning from 1938 to today's culture.  It started at the beginning of WWII for giving the British motivation to fight the "invaders".  All the posters were thought to have been burned in 1945.  But much like the "We Can Do It!" poster,  (which was America's motivational poster)an original "Keep Calm" was rediscovered in a book store.  The man who had found it.  It grew popular and was made into a meme and sold in stores and parodied.  It has become one of the most popular phrases in today's pop culture.  Although popularity has fallen in the past years, I still love Keep Calm merchandise.  It means to not care about what terrible things might be happening, and to just do as your normally would.

Mistakes In History Part 1, Ancient and Medieval History

There has been many mistake said by many teachers, philosophers, and scientists.  I'll be taking a few part to talk about the common misconceptions made by these people.

  • In Medieval times, people were said to live to the age 30.  This is a large fall from the recent facts.  New technology and new bodies have proven people die around the age 64, that is if you got to the age 21 alive.
  • Vikings, despite popular theory, likely did not wear horns on their helmets. I know, I'm sad about this just as much as you. 
    I call this a lie. It does not taste like cake.
  • Medieval Europeans actually did believe the Earth was round, as the theory had been created by Aristotle and Play-doh, I mean Plato.
  • Columbus never reached any where that is called the United States of America, and, if the Americas had not existed, he and his crew would have ran out of supplies and would have never made it to India.
  • Pilgrims did not have the tall, black hats that they are commonly pictured with.  They actually were short, but were mostly black.  They also didn't have buckles on them.



Now you've learned that everything you learn about history is fake and school is nothing but a pile of lies. Now have a good day!

A "Annoying Twitter account" Starter Pack!

Starter Packs is a social media trend including 1-4 pictures of something that describe one type of person or thing.  It can be a very racist thing, but it can also be very funny, but it is hard to find something that goes together very well.  It was funny at first, then people used all the good ones and now they are scraping the bottom of the barrel. And it just began very recently. I just woke up on Saturday morning, checked Twitter and saw people retweeting and posting them.  I had never heard of them prior.  I might just have never seen them before, maybe I don't follow accounts that keep up with the trendy trends, I don't know.  I do know they are annoying. I thought I should make my own starter pack.  My first and and my last.  the "How To Make A Blog That Sounds And Looks Like A Angry Driving Ed Website" Starter Pack!
Step 1: Get a Drivers Ed name
Step 2: Get a picture of a stop sign
Step 3 Get angry and post





Now that that is out of the way, I'll just leave this here... https://twitter.com/TebaconCarter... That's just my Twitter... You don't have to do anything... You know, just in case anyone want to see it... Follow me... Please.

Broooooooh, I so partied all night last night!

When I found the Wikipedia page for Bro(Subculture), I cried in happiness, I breathed even harder than usual.  I knew I found my next blog post, and possibly a sign from God to rise against all other bros and become the very best.  Or I could just be over reacting a bit, but I was really happy when I found it.  It is just a version of the Urban Dictionary definition, but in smart speak and more detailed.  Wikipedia "Bro is a male youth subculture of "conventional guys' guys" who spend time partying in ways similar to each other. While without a consistent definition, the popular image of bros is a "fratty masculinity" type, predominantly white, and associated with frayed-brim baseball hats, oxford shirts, sports team t-shirts, cargo shorts, and boat shoes or sandals."
Urban Dictionary "Obnoxious partying males who are often seen at college parties." And "Nearly everyone in a fraternity is a bro but there are also many bros who are not in a fraternity. They often wear a rugby shirt and a baseball cap."
I have no reason to stop the use of the word "Bro", but I do want to say people should stop overusing it.  Now to talk about what I normally do. Talk about the origin of the word, and I will do words to use instead.  The phrase originated in the 20th century, and is an "abreeve" of brother. (Expect to see Abreeve on this blog very soon.)  It was in reference to a male, white and black. Other word used then were guy and fellow.  In the 70's it became a word used for a male friend.  It has been fused with other words to specifically describe one person in a certain industry of job, such as programmer, or bro-ager(Manager).  In more recent years, "brah" has become a substitute for "bro".  Fellow to guy, guy to brother, brother to bro, bro to brah or brogrammer.  Also bro has been used to describe anyone. That man walking by you. CALL HIM A BRO.  Your brother. CALL HIM A BRO. Your mom? CALL HER A BRO.  The stray cat? CALL IT A BRO.  Everyone? CALL. EVERYONE. A. BROOOOOOOOOOO.

The Man Who Became Famous For Hating, And His Biggest Secret!

(I'm just making this post to inform, no special reason, so please enjoy.)He was a horrible man.  He controlled an army of hate.  Someone even worse than  Of course, were talking about Hitler.  He was the Nazi leader, and hated Jews.  One of the most infamous man to ever exist.  I feel disgusting even making a post about him.  Consider this like making fun of him, and gossiping about him. Here are some facts about him you probably don't know.

  1. He never visited a concentration camp.  A concentration camp is not a place where you learn the force.  It was where anyone and everyone he hated, mainly Jews.  The things he created! Never visited one! He let everyone else do the dirty work.  
  2. He had horrible flatulence(That means he farted a lot.) and he took 28 drugs to stop it.  He was a ticking bomb.  
  3. Now lets get more gross. He had one testicle.  I'll just leave that there...
  4. His first love was a Jewish girl.  He was too afraid of talking to her.  He deserved it.
  5. He was anti-smoking.  He actually had the first anti-smoking campaign.  I guess he did do something good.
  6. Henry Ford(Founder of Ford Motors) was his inspiration. He kept a portrait of him behind his desk.
  7. He was a vegetarian and was against animal cruelty.  He was a more evil Peta, and Peta is already kinda bad.
  8. Hitler once almost drowned.  He was saved by a priest. And, when he grew up, he wanted to be a priest.  He should have become a priest.
  9. Hitler's family was very poor, and a Jewish doctor didn't charge them.  Hitler called him Noble Jew and had him protected.  
  10. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, and was Time's man of the year, both in 1938. I don't see why anyone even though of this.  It was a year before the war. By then he did capture Austria and Czechoslovakia and turned them into German puppet states. He gave himself his own freedom, and with Britain and France by barely doing anything.

Lol, The One Text To Rule Them All.



LOLOLOLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOKLOLOLOLOOLOLOOLOOLLOOLOLOLOLOL  Lots Of Love. How about an "abreeve" of Laurence. Nope, this is 2014.  Laughing Out Loud.  Followed by a Smiley Face Emoji, Laughing Emoji, and then, in rare cases, a poop Emoji.  One of my favorite subreddits. First used by Wayne Pearson(He used Lol before it was cool.) in the 1980's! On Usenet! I will explain Usenet below.  Lol, as I said before, means Lots of Love, a mistake made by many parents.  Lol died in 2015. I hope.  I have seen people using LOL for many depressing and stupid uses.  "My dog is dead." LOLOLOL.  "I hate my life." LOLOLOLOL.  "LOL is one of the most annoying words to ever exist." LOLOLOLOLOL.  I've seen all of it happen, except the last one.  I just did made that to prove my point.  I have nothing else to say.  Actually I have a lot of things to say, just not now in this post.
Usenet was a dial-up discussion system. This picture makes no sense to me either.
