New Posterity
-
Although not quite sure what I actually meant by this, I think it would make an absolutely stupendous buzz-phrase. To that end, I would hope the 10,000,000 CP'ers would take up the call and use this word at every opportunity; inject it, now matter how dubious the context, in every conversation, and otherwise shamelessly promote it. Then we can sit back and here all the TV/Radio/Politico's using the new phrase and know it's because of us. A smirk-of-power would be in order and well deserved.

It's not a word. It's two words. Using just one of them is not going to work; people will just think "what an idiot: why does he go on and on about "new" all the time?", or the same for "posterity". Is this the New Posterity? Looking like an idiot? I think not! :laugh:

If you check back, I used the term "buzz-phrase" - not "buzz-word".

You started with "buzz-phrase" and moved to "word" when you were exhorting us to popularise it.

[Lame Explanation Alert] I used the term 'Word' as one would use it when describing scripture - thus, it encompasses any amount of text and associated misinterpretations.

Having delivered naught of the old modernity, I am in favour of a new posterity. Perhaps a call to arms to fight the excitement of banality.

Certainly if you wish to innovate efficient relationships and evolve granular infrastructures in this, the new posterity, then I myself, at this moment in time, seek to empower your revolutionary synergies. +1 for the phrase "smirk of power" which I shall ensure I use regularly (the smirk, not the phrase, which should remain a close secret between us 10,000,000)

i.e. wrongly. The word for that is "text".

How you mangle your language, no matter how well or poorly intentioned, is a matter for you. A catch-phrase that doesn't occur naturally, i.e. that is "invented" and pushed, is a catch-phrase not worth bothering with.

Couldn't have come up with a better reason to hype it into the common vernacular than your post.
