Explicatives
This doesn't deserve a full Language Update entry, but it's just too delicious to miss.
Passenger Brandon Sullivan used his free time to document the antics of Friday’s flight, showing passengers mulling about the aisles and taking their pick of 50 milliliter bottles of liquor. “Adults kicking each other’s seats and shouting explicatives,” Sullivan tweeted.Two perfect words in one paragraph, one from the original Tweetist and one from the news-writer. I'd say 80% of what goes on in comboxes is MULLING ABOUT THE AISLES and SHOUTING EXPLICATIVES! = = = = = OKAY, I'LL THINK IT OVER FOR A PICOSECOND. GOT IT. YOU'RE A CUNT-LAPPING FUCKHEAD. DOES THAT MAKE THINGS CLEARER? LET ME CLARIFY THIS FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR FUCKING IDIOCY, SHITHEAD! YOU CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT? WELL, I SHALL DUMB IT DOWN TO YOUR LEVEL, WINGNUT FREAKAZOID! Yup, those are SHOUTED EXPLICATIVES! Wonderful serendipitous coinage.
