"Kardashianic" fails to make the cut for the OED
-
But, 'big-endian' has been accepted: [^]. Kim is allegedly near the breaking point as she stays by the side of her (now hospitalized) husband, Kanye, struggling to deal with his apparent psychotic break-down which caused the cancellation of his 'Yeesus' tour. Yeesus and Kim entourage members have been quoted as saying that the OED choice hit Kim as hard as a missed Botox treatmnt. Our compassion for Kim's current difficulties prohibits mentioning that she could be said to have been 'Swift-boated' by this publicity-failure, but, we are not going to hide our perception that there was overweaning hubris at play here: did Kim really think her fleshly amplitude had earned a place in the semiotic digimeme-space occupied by 'callipygian,' or, 'steatopygic' ?
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Hi, Jörgen, I speak of the necessity ... when one's cultural reality becomes tabloid ... to use only metaphors that connect stray factoids to media personae. If I were from Sweden, rather than COM (Corporate Occupied MallBurgerLand), perhaps I would be able to double-speak in a different flavor. cheers, Bill

You mean the woman whose husband thinks that the Bible needs to be re-written to include him? Yeah, she really thought that.
