Jigga What?

I'm doing a "webinar" tomorrow. It's a terrible word. Webinar? Really? I mean, I get the etymology: web-based seminar. But I don't like the word. How about "websem"? That would actually be faster to say. I realize it's a battle I've already lost. I also realize that it violates my "no rant" policy for this blog. Please forgive me.

Words I Enjoy Saying, #1

Babaganouj1

Tazer2

1. Babaganoush or Babaganoosh are also accepted spellings, but I prefer it with a "j" because it captures the "zhh" sound. And it looks more exotic. I don't like how it tastes, but I am always tempted to order it. I think it would make an excellent name for a pet.

2. Apparently "Taser" is the proper spelling. But I prefer the unauthorized "z" instead. I like how the comedian Dane Cook says, "If guys come near us, we'll Tazer them. No guys."

(ooh, a purple tazer!)
