BlogVasion - There's something peculiar going on here
Posted by George S.
One more blog with a funny name you may be thinking. What does blogvasion mean anyway?
There is a belief among people who work in humor "industry" that certain words are inherently funny. Opinions vary widely regarding this idea and so does "the list" of funny words. Moreover, the list of funny words is not carved in stone. On the one hand the concept of inherently funny words depends on culture. Certain words with quite serious meaning in one language may sound absolutely funny from another language speaker's point of view.
On another hand, amusement experienced from certain words depends on the context in which they are used. Many comedians have their favorite lists of funny words and use them quite successfully. Well, the points noted above are not scientifically tested and thus there are several unanswered questions about inherently funny words.
But wait a minute! Have you ever noticed that infants burst into laughter when they hear certain (mmm funny?) words? Even those kids who do not yet understand the language laugh on certain words. Getting back to blogvasion. So, I was thinking what name to choose for this blog and started searching funny words. That is when I came across BoredAtUni.com - a website dedicated to bored students. They have a sweet section where anyone can submit a funny word.
A quick scan revealed blogvasion, which I really liked. The word was submitted by a user Snoozechao and according to him/her it means:
Blogvasion - When a fellow blogger overruns or attempts to overrun your blog with massive amounts of bs - submitted by Snoozechao
Though you can look at this word from a different perspective as well. With soooo many blogs today, we live in the age of blog invasion, hence blogvasion.
Finally, what BLOGVASION will be about? Trivia, funny things, technology, business, science - well almost everything will be discussed on BLOGVASION but the main focus will be on the Internet and the World Wide Web as a social phenomenon. Stay tuned and check BLOGVASION frequently.
