The Motto for Every Person on Twitter of The Ages 30 And Up.

Cray-Cray is a term, made to make you sound cool, but ends up making you old, or midlife or whatever you think is old. It means crazy, but it makes you look crazy! Urban Dictionary(It's urban dictionary, so you know it's good) defines it as, "A desperate attempt to say "crazy" made by some adult trying to be cool." and "A person or individual who has gone completely mental, on an emotional or physical level. Abandoning all reason or good judgement."  It was created by Will Smith, (so you know the first definition is true.) in "Urban Youth's in Paris" which is a song, I think.  That's it. Were you expecting something else? Anyway, I have some examples of #CrayCray from twitter. Ahem.

LITERALLY the best post ever.

We literally changed the definition of Literally.  Literally USED to mean take something seriously, but now it mean figuratively.  It was first used, not by someone on Twitter, not Facebook, even farther back than MySpace!  It was first used out of context by Frances Brooke, in 'The History of Emily Montague'. In the September 2009 edition of Oxford-English Dictionary, Literally was defined as ‘used for emphasis rather than being actually true’ such as ‘we were literally killing ourselves laughing’.  Fiona McPherson, OED Editor of Oxford-English Dictionary states, "Our job is to describe the language people are using. The only reason this sense is included is because people are using it in this way. Words have changed their meaning ever since the first word was uttered. Meat used to mean all food but now its sense has narrowed."  The video I included does have cursing in it, but it show how people are using it wrong.  Have you used literally wrong?  If you have any ideas of future posts, leave a comment.  Thanks for reading.

Cinnamon Roll, Cinnamon Cookies, Cinnamon Challenge?

If you ever had a cinnamon roll, you'd know how good they are. If not, you must not have had a cinnamon roll.  Did you know cinnamon contains manganese, fiber, iron and calcium. That would be good, if you don't swallow too much like every person ever is doing now. I haven't done that, but I don't consider myself human. I like to call myself a cave man, because I don't go outside, and people are afraid of me.  I'm smarter that the traditional caveman, but I'm a technology advanced neanderthal.  Enough about me, lets get to the reason why I'm here. This stupidity. This (Not so silent) killer is mind controlling us to do stupid things. Yes, I mean the cinnamon challenge.  There is a 45 min video below, so waste your time on that if you want(Beware of some cursing, I didn't watch the whole thing.). This evil monster was not created by dead body parts, lightning, or any kind of monster cliche (unless you're are racist, then get away from this blog. I'll wait. Go. We don't want you here.).  It came from a Scandinavian Youtuber swallowing a tablespoon of ground cinnamon with success.  There are many reason why you should stop, not just that it is like torturing yourself.  You see, inhaling raw cinnamon can really mess up your body, worse than a warm water bottle on a hot summer day x10+50.  What I mean is you can die.  First, when you spit it out, there is a cloud of cinnamon that will leave you gasping for air, but if you succeed, you get a reward.  A week at the hospital with pneumonia, collapsed lungs and you'll wish you were dead when you see the bill. Oh and vomiting, but that for sure to happen no matter what.  Moral of the story, don't swallow things that should not be swallowed, AND you see people crying after doing that thing, DON'T DO IT. Thank you for listening.
Have you done the cinnamon challenge, if so, did you succeed and your lungs collapse, or did you get sick and die? Also if you have any suggestions for future topics, leave a comment.

DIS P0ST WILL PWN YOU or something.

"YUU JST BEN PWND N00B," with some cussing in between, is a popular phrase among kids 7-12 after beating you in Call of Duty.  Not only do your ears bleed, but you also cry from what kids are saying now.  It's like a kid learned his vocabulary from an angry sailor and his creepy neighbor.  Although used in much of today's culture, it came from something more nerdier then anything else.  It came from World of Warcraft, and was a mistake in programming.  The game was meant to say, "___ has been owned." after a match, but was misspelled as pwned. Either the luckiest misspelling ever, or just the downright worst.  Anyway, it caught on like wildfire, and was a joke to the WoW players, it became the word to describe being severely beaten in a game, but is used when they only win by one. Just let them have this victory before they go to Hamburger University.  This was shorter than many other posts, but I hope you enjoyed. If you have any ideas for future post, leave a comment!

The Time The World Stopped And Cried

You only live once is a phrase, acronymed as YOLO, that was used in the 1937 film "You Only Live Once" The public defender's secretary and an ex-convict get married and try to make a life together, but a series
 of disasters sends their lives spiraling out of control.
 That is what the movie about, and yolo hasn't changed much at all. I mean, he was an ex-convict, so he did something crazy, and people use YOLO before they do crazy stuff. The secretary left to go with the ex-convict, YOLO.  A series of disasters sends their lives out of control, not really YOLO, but sounds like a bad sitcom, or a good soap opera.  Now, back to YOLO, It gained popularity in Drake's song "The Motto" At least he apologized on Saturday Night Live.  After growing to becoming a motto for doing stupid things, it got annoying.  The Lonely Island made a song about being too safe, which was hilarious at the time, and it holds up.  Now YOLO is dying slowly, after rapper Ervin McKinnis tweeted, prior to his death, "Drunk af going 120 drifting corners #F***It YOLO."  The Washinton Post and the Huffington Post call it, "The new acronym you love to hate." And, "Dumb"  I'm glad some people agree with me.  If you have any idea for future posts, be sure to leave a comment, and thanks for reading.

#Blogging #Fun #FunWithBlogs #Hashtag

 You must know what hashtags are, right. Well I don't, but what do they do, and where did they come from? They are used, in modern tech, on twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Google+.  Although Twitter used the modern hashtag, it was first used in the 70s, used to highlight special meanings.  It was also used by Bell Laboratories in phones, along with the Asterisk(*) and was called the Octothorpe.  Eventually, it became known as the pound, as it shared the same key with the Euro symbol on English typewriters.  In 1988, it was used in IRC (Internet Relay Chat) and was used as it was today.  It was first used on Twitter, and was inspired by the IRC “how do you feel about using # (pound) for groups. As in #barcamp [msg]?”- @factoryjoe  Evan Williams did not agree with hashtags, as he said they were too technical, and you can guess what happened afterwards. They blew up, and every other social networking site began loving this new way to talk, even without knowing each other, and it grows stronger everyday, and was added in the Oxford-English dictionary in 2014, due to it's widespread use.  If you have any future ideas for blog post in the future, leave a comment, and thanks for reading. Sorry about being one day late too!

! g07 5o mu(h $w@& (Translation: I got so much swag)


If you didn't look at my poll, (which, by the way, you should) I see that many of you hate to much swag. I can relate, because that is what I voted, (High five guys!) and no one has, luckily, picked puppies. If you live under a rock, or any where you might now hear stuff, you must have heard swag. Originating in Ireland as the word "Swagger" which meant walking in a wavy manner, the being idiotized (Meaning to change into a less meaningful way) to "Swag".  It means to be cool or whatever you want to call it, and growing to such popularity to be on Wikipedia, Dictionary.com, and Oxford dictionary.  There are many urban legends of how swag really originated, but Ireland seems most likely.  If you have any theories or suggestions, leave a comment on this post, thank you for reading.

It Came From The Jersey Shores.

Come at me bro! Usually used by people who get angry easily and that refers to your enemy as your brother.  Originating from the hit reality show, "Jersey Shore", it defined as, "A phrase popularized by Ronnie from MTV's latest train wreck of a reality show, Jersey Shore."
The Example I find quite hilarious.
"Guy: (Begins taunting Ronnie)
Ronnie: Come at me bro!
Guy: (more taunting)
Ronnie: No dude, you come at me bro. Hold your girl back and come at me bro!
Guy: (even more taunting)
Ronnie: COME AT ME BRO, NO YOU COME AT ME BRO!!
(Conversation repeats consecutively for the next 5 minutes)
(a fight eventually erupts on the boardwalk)" Isn't that the funniest thing you read all day? Better that this stuff. It is used in arguments, usually on Twitter or Facebook(But is used by some people in real life, sadly). I guess it's unavoidable, unless people read this blog.

Adding New meaning to, "Blaze it. (Challenges Part 1)


Welcome to the real world, where non-emo people hurt themselves for fun! Seriously the dumbest things you can do to your body. There are somethings that make me happy, like the Ice Bucket Challenge, that all about charity and doing something for entertainment, but when you stop the money donating, and just hurt yourself, that's wrong. Recently, you may have heard about the Rub Flammable Stuff All Over Your Body And Set Your Self On Fire challenge AKA the Fire Challenge. The name describes it perfectly. People spray themselves with hairspray, light a match, and you should know what happens next. This is a real thing, and why it exists is far beyond me. When I first heard of this I thought,"Dang, people are stupid, thinking I'll believe this." Then, "Dang, people are stupid."  It has grown to such heights that Wikipedia has a page on it, and fire houses across the country are telling people them to stop. There are plenty of videos to watch on the topic, so look those up if you want to, but I won't force you to watch.  Just kidding, here's a video. This guy makes good points on how dumb this thing is.

Sorry about this one, Just kidding.


Sorry, not sorry. A double negative. The most annoying phrase ever(in my opinion). It mean,"I'm sorry for doing that, oh wait! I'm kidding." It originated in 1994, in the Amen song, "Sorry, not Sorry", it can be argued that it grew in popularity after it was used on Twitter in 2011(I didn't even know Twitter existed in 2011, let alone a phrase people still use today!). Urban Dictionary says, "sorry not sorry is a term used by someone usually unhappy with someone because they are thought to have done something wrong. They use this term as if to say "What I did wasn't wrong so Sorry, I'm not sorry". It is often "hashtaged" on the social networking website Twitter." I may have a Twitter, but I don't use hashtags, unless in jest.

First is the Worst

Now, I'll start this off with a bang, (I should use that one someday.)You may remember the famous, and not at all annoying rhyme. "First is the worst, second is the best, third is the one with the polka-dot dress/hairy chest.  Not only does it make no sense, it is also brings back memories of never ending chants, that means nothing. It was created as a playground rhyme.  A playground rhyme, or a playground song, is a song, usually sung by children, normally on a playground (Wikipedia's description, not mine) such as K-I-S-S-I-N-G, you know the one!  "X and Y Sitting in a tree! Keh-Ei-Es-Es-Ei-En-Gee! First comes love, then comes marriage, then come the baby in the baby carriage!" You remember now. This is also where a lot of kids discover curses, as plenty of these disturbing, but fun to say rhymes have a more adult tone. Tones such as burning places down, killing television characters, racism, and Abraham Lincoln.  Another reason to be terrified of kids.
