good afternoon, clint.i hope you're having a pleasant sunday. especially considering i'm getting wailed on in fantasy football. anyway, i'd like to welcome you to tom selleck's moustache... as gross as that sounds. so here's my thought for the day.
so, i have been annoyed recently with the adding on of "-ista" to the end of everything (i.e. fashionista, footwearista, anythingtodowithlifetime-ista...etc.).
now, using my keen abilities of observation (and trust me, they are keen...), i have found that this means that you are someone who is into/obsessed with whatever comes before the "-ista". what is this magical suffix? when did i miss this magical grammatical rule?
there are a couple of things that bother me about this new colloquialism. mostly that it exists. but if it must exist then why does it not include ALL interests. it would seem that all "istas" are women concerned with their particular demographics. why not us? think of the possibilities!
a journalista.
a chucknorrista.
i mean...just think about it.
Clint Alwahab - A photojournalism major at the University of Missouri, self-described old man, and admitted snob. My most passionate debates spark from politics, government and religion but I will gladly talk about movies and music (as long as we're not talking about Michael Bay or Miley Cyrus).
Tyler Echols - An 8th grade US History teacher in Nashville, TN, self-described sweater vest lover, and admitted geek. My most passionate debates spring from politics, religion, and who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo...though everyone knows the answer to that. I am more than happy to talk about both Michael Bay and Miley Cyrus, as everyone knows that Americans love explosions. Yes, I was referring to Miley as well.
