RE: Day 5 - Team Beck moves from Paris to Pas-de-Calais in the north of France and nobody dies
Well, it also works because there's a current trend of verbing in the English language - although I'm not sure the venerable roundabout has to date had the privilege of being transformed this way.
O yeah like googling, just google it. My view is that a lot of that verbing is an indirect result of the IYI idea that is phenomenoning the world.
SoI googled IYI (no irony there), and this prickly piece was my find du jour: https://medium.com/incerto/the-intellectual-yet-idiot-13211e2d0577. Youch.
Yeah thats the one. There's another one on how to beat an IYI its so funny. https://www.mergersandinquisitions.com/how-to-beat-the-intellectual-yet-idiot/
I saw that link too but after the first one wasn't sure if I had the courage to read another in the same sitting! Waiting for my SAM (Sarcasm Appreciation Mechanism) to build up again after the loss of my draft 😜😜
Thanks for reading the first one. Have you found some good ways of SAMMING?
Not consistently reliable ones, no...otherwise as a fan of satire I look for the telltale signs of the sarcasmer looking for credit for wit. Then as a sarcasmee I can be (more) ready for the slash. I never intend to grow a thick skin. That gets in the way of empathy, so a certain number of ouches per week go with the territory.
WOW that is quite a scientific approach. 😃
More intuitive than scientific, I assure you. That's why I have my fair share of sarcasm scars!
