Blog...the word that must die!

There have been a lot of annoying words and phrases born out of the dot.com craze, including the dot.com craze, googling, websurfing, Internet guru, cookies, cache files and 2.0, but none are more annoying than the word blog.
Now, I realize that the first official blogger for The Sheboygan Press probably shouldn’t blog on his blog on the annoying qualities of the word blog, but the blogosphere has birthed this brilliantly bad blog word and bloggit, I’ve blogged about blog about blog.
I’ve read that 2007 is the year of the blog, and there will be billions of bloggers all over the world, blogging on their blogs. Proof of this was last weeks Fox 6 Blogapalooza, where the television station invited bloggers to blog in a communal blog setting at a Milwaukee coffee shop.
Never in my life had I heard the word blog said so many times as I did in the stations two-minute segment on their blog fest.
Blog!
Blog is a bad word. It sounds like, blah or bog, and I’m sick of it.
It’s like the Smurfs. Everything was Smurfy.
Remember.
“Hey Papa Smurf. Brainy Smurf just Smurfed a Smurf down by the Smurf. Isn’t that Smurfy?”
What the hell does that mean. But you can do it with blogs too.
“Hey Papa Blog. Brainy Blog just Blogged a Blog down by the Blog. Isn’t that Blogy?”
Blog blog blog blog blog blog blog! Blog blog blog. Blog!
Bloggers. We must put an end to the word blog, before we all blog ourselves to death. Any suggestions?
