nontroversy.

[mopinko]

i heard this word for the first time the other day. i think we should work on getting into the language. it is so perfect.
what say you all?

[Ian David]

1. Nontroversy and ContriveVersy works too! n/t

[mopinko]

2. nontroversy is sneaky, tho.

you can say it, and people don't catch it right away.

[KittyWampus]

3. thanks, mopinko. I will use that. Non-troversy is great

[mopinko]

5. if we use it, it will stick.

and gawd knows we have plenty of opportunities.

[Motown_Johnny]

4. Send it to Stephen Colbert

[mopinko]

6. just kicking myself

cuz i think this word is a great weapon.

7. Then a small dust up would actually be a nantroversy??

I do like Nontroversy, though. Really.

:headbang:

9. It's like all my favorite people are in one thread!

Hi everyone...

"Nontroversy" is a terrific word that I first heard during the primaries! It certainly works against McCain lately better than anyone. :-)

[cliffordu]

10. Yep - Howdy Jen!! Longa time-a no-a see-a

How ya been??

[mopinko]

15. hi jen.

how ya doing? just got back from an obama volunteer rally. got a hug from my congressperson, jan schakowsky. very cool. trying to convince people to go on bus trips. mostly around here they are going to iowa. got a wisconsin team, and an indiana team.

so, i gotta figure out who is doing what in ohio so that i can come back. may have to just make my own way out for a weekend. cincy was fun.

[VolcanoJen]

16. Glad you had fun in Cincy!

We're really not that bad, and of course we were certainly Obama's biggest pocket of support in Ohio during the Primary!

We're poised to hand him the state... working our butts off down here!!!

[mopinko]

28. good girl!!

i think it is going to be a landslide, myself. but i always did have trouble imagining what it is like to be a freeper, even in the lowest degree.
gonna try to do some phone calls. they have the phone banks here calling local people to ask them to take bus trips. going at it pretty heavy, even tho it is early. smart cookies.

[cliffordu]

11. Can we gather all the Presstitutes with their favorite nontroversies over here, please??

Pastorbators? That would be down the hall in the Larry Craig memorial lounge.

[Hamlette]

12. great word! I'm stealing it (giving credit of course) n/t

[Kire]

13. it's been in the 'urban dictionary" since December 2006

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=nontroversy

[mopinko]

14. i got it from my son. he got it from the internets.

glad to hear it is in the urban dictionary. i think that might be a good portal into meat space.

[BlooInBloo]

17. I like "manufactroversy".

[anonymous171]

18. Reminds me of "Poutrage"

I like it.

[VolcanoJen]

20. Poutrage!!

I love it! Actually hadn't heard that one yet; describes just about every wingnuts-heading-for-the-fainting-couch "nontroversy" of the past eight years. :-)

LEAVE GENERAL PETRAEUS ALOOOOOOONE!! :rofl:

[mopinko]

29. ooooooo. another beauty.

maybe we should collect up a pile of good ones, and try to use them all in the same email for the activist corp to send out. i think that if you own the language, you usually win.

[cliffordu]

19. We need to start a glossary-->

[BlooInBloo]

21. www.urbandictionary.com

[cliffordu]

22. Cool - I knew all the pages on the innernet tubes....in 1995. now, obviously,

not so much....

:rofl:

[BlooInBloo]

23. They've added a couple since then. :P

[cliffordu]

24. Well, I got the gopher, I dunno what else I need....

[BlooInBloo]

25. hahaha - and archie!

:rofl:

[cliffordu]

26. Yep....Archie....

:rofl:

[mopinko]

32. linky?

not sure what you guys are talking about (the hamster dance?) but could you let some of us less nerdy folks in on the joke? i could use one.

[SeattleGirl]

27. I heard "Lavatarians" the other day, used to describe the likes of

Larry Craig, and loved it!

:rofl:

[mopinko]

31. it buzzes my high school spanish buttons-

it sounds like the political party of cleaning ladies.
it is amusing. but it isn't as obvious about what it means.

[Sparkly]

30. I love it!!!

Perfect! :applause:
