"Use other words please."

but Ungoogleable is an actual thing

but i mean like when you're talking about a band called "the men," i can tell from the name that they are going to be hard to find on the internet. you don't have to tell me that. it's self-evident.

gotcha

Speaking of which, this makes zero sense to me: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/shortcuts/2012/mar/05/coldplay-regret-mylo-xyloto-title
"Coldplay live to regret calling their album Mylo Xyloto
Chris Martin says the title of Coldplay's latest album is a disaster, as it's made up of two words that can't be googled."

The actual text of the article says it's down to being not easy to pronounce. Think this is just a case of the Graun subs getting it wrong.

i know someone who was in an 80's band called *A Band*. still can't find them on the internet...

i've tried googling those words so many times

i know someone who was in an 80's band called *A Band*. still can't find them on the internet...

This could explain their lack of a second life amongst the file sharing community. Am thinking how it would've been prescient of them to release a record called "Album" with, like, numbered songs.

This is a kid thing, but "versing"--as in, "Who are we versing next in floor hockey?" It's got a nice Shakespearean ring to it, but so, so wrong.

not the one featuring neil campbell, richard youngs, and eight million other people, no?

i always thought that the internet destroyed the the.

Or maybe the autocorrect function in word processors?

lol my top result for "the men" (with quotes) is the band

the first page has several youtube links as well!

my first result for the word "men" is my friend's band "MEN"

http://www.myspace.com/men

^^^they are my fourth

~google~

I think there was another American A Band that was on one of the Chuck Warner comps.

Homework series, if I remember right.

Paternalistic

Feels bigoted against dads.

save the dads

smash the dads

embolden
audacity

"Babywearing"

just horrible

please, please, please stop saying "the Mad Men era"

ok

"dafuq"

"jolly good"

"a good look"

"the ___ game" and "on lock" and "has the ___ game on lock"

What if the game is Sonic & Knuckles?

hurting got the pedantry game on lock

dnw any more awesomesauce or amazeballs

^^^^ otm x 1,000,0000,000,0000,000

Why is that pedantic? I don't care about the grammar, I'm just sick of hearing it.

ugh, amazeballs, that is the worst

those two words are the cool beans of today

"Burst onto the scene"

"unlock"

song lyrics or snippets or album covers are not antique secrets held in rustic lockboxes, nor are they Xbox achievements, they're promotional material a label posts, probably regardless of how much their fans do or don't tweet/Like/call. pretty minor, I know, but it's one of the more common examples of PR-speak seeping into journalistic copy and if I'm editing I kill it on sight.

Hack

"______ 101" or "dorm room _____"

(basically anything that means to imply "I have graduated from college and look back on it with bemused condescension.")

"his / her / my truth"

put "owning" in front to be shot out of a cannon

Own your truth

Describing some bit of policy as a "Rube Goldberg device/contraption"

"unhelpful"

"and that's a good thing"

seriously stop telling me what is a good thing and what isn't
similarly, "...what we've learned from this..."

katherine otm some words are just annoying but "unlock" is sinister

my dad invariably describes any movie or actor or scene he likes as "watchable" and it makes my eyes bleed

otm re: "and that's a good thing," ugh. The implied "but," as well as the implied tying of a bow around the goodness of the thing, both just seem so patronizingly "reasonable," and close off objection.

"transitioned"

"deliverable" (noun)
