_______ porn

especially if it's not actually porn

that's what i mean! it's attributing a largely inaccurate quality of titillation to the noun modifying it. people just want more excuses to use the word "porn" i guess

interjections have the porn market cleaned up though let's face itoh! ah! uh! ooh! wait!
The first time I remember being aware of the "___ porn" construction was during the housing bubble, when it seemed like shows and magazine features and the like about oversized homes were suddenly everywhere, and I thought "Real Estate Porn" was actually a great descriptor because it captured the vulgarity of it all. Now it's definitely overused and has lost its bite.

Not to mention it takes away from actual real estate porn where participants are eager to show off their open house.

"eyeballs"
In content meetings about our online readership, I hear questions like "How do we get more eyeballs looking at the page and how do we get those eyeballs to stay on the page?"
And I'm like, I don't know, don't advertise at pirate or purple people eater conventions?

Every time someone uses "blue pill/red pill" I don't know whether to punch through a wall or cry.

Depends on which pill you choose.
― Jeff, Wednesday, 26 February 2014 17:53 (ten years ago) link
And whether the "wall" I want to punch through is the wall of illusion.

huh. i don't encounter any people of those groups on a regular basis and i fell asleep during the matrix. what does it imply?
― we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Wednesday, 26 February 2014 19:22 (ten years ago) link
look, do you want to take the red pill and google this for yourself, or take the blue pill and remain blissfully in the dark?

i didn't want to google for it sorryi think i'll choose to take no pills and remain in the dark with this conversation tabled for now
which reminds me -- i have seen a swift uptick in the usage of the word "conversation" to mean "hashing out a particularly vexing issue" -- "join the conversation" or "start a conversation"
― we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Wednesday, 26 February 2014 19:36 (ten years ago) link
i don't hate it necessarily i just wanted to have the conversation

You're welcome.
Like that.
Ha, I actually like that one. The aggressive preemptive "You're welcome."
― jmm, Thursday, 27 February 2014 14:34 (ten years ago) link
Not that I would use it myself.
― jmm, Thursday, 27 February 2014 14:38 (ten years ago) link
that particular use of "you're welcome" has ruined (for me) the usual usage of it so that i can't imagine anyone using it without a shade of irony or annoyance. it's bad.

Yeah I always associate it with that GWB thing, whose title is such an brilliantly compact piece of verbal comedy that I give the phrase a pass forever

I only use the phrase "you're welcome" when I am trying to literally make a person feel welcome
― my collages, let me show you them (bernard snowy), Thursday, 27 February 2014 17:23 (ten years ago) link
in my mind, the phrase comes tagged with an implied "[here]"
