    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.

      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.

          Ah, but the style of the more curvaceous of fruits surely hints at something that could well be post-pre-modernist.

            Where ever did you get the idea that our society needs help in coming up with utterly meaningless phrases? I'm to the point where I hate to say anything for fear of spawning the next idiotic phrase that will be mindlessly repeated until I vomit every time it's spoken. Please exercise more care, Balboos.

              Well - it's like this. If it's going to be done, I might as well take control. Who knows - with some careful copyrighting I may be able to make a fortune suing various media, making money with guest appearances as a pundit, or pretend I did not shirk my duty in bring humanity down yet another notch. So - it's all for the best - in the best of all possible worlds.

                                  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.

                                  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)

                                    [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.

                                    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.
