Don't Tase Me, Bro!

A tasing leads to a new slogan. The video of Andrew Meyer's stunt/police tasing during a John Kerry lecture in Florida is ubitquitous, but his screaming "Don't tase me, bro!" will live on long past the newscycle. It's already being called the catchphrase of our time, and here I thought it was "hug it out bitch". You can buy your very own shirt here or here. Also this site just popped up as well. I think this new saying is fanTASEtic!

Bring On The Bacn

There is a new email food group: It's not spam, it's bacn.

Bacn describes the things you signed up for but that still feel like clutter in your inbox: Email lists, MySpace notifications, Google alerts, Electronic bill notifications, etc. If you're like me you're ready to go Hog wild with this new buzzword but just remember you don't always have to bring home the bacn.

Sex With Vegetables Vegans

Vegansexuals are vegans who do not eat any meat or animal products and who choose not to be sexually intimate with non-vegan partners whose bodies, they say, are made up of dead animals. If you are what you eat, vegansexuals don't want your meat.

Oh Good Grief, Tourism

When I hear the word tourism, I think of beaches, comfortable hotels, and lots of relaxation. But now, darker forms of tourism are gaining popularity in an increasingly news-strung world. It’s called Dark Tourism - and two of its genres are Thanatourism and Grief Tourism, which denotes the urge to travel to the dark places of the world like the Killing Fields, Ground Zero or Auschwitz. And you thought the guilt trips your mom gives you were weird.

Brocabulary

New York magazine's Daniel Maurer, whose upcoming glossary of guyspeak -- tentatively titled Brocabulary -- makes clear there's more to being macho than watching Ultimate Fighting and drinking from the milk carton.

Words such as mancation (a male-bonding getaway), bromance (the platonic love between two "hetero life-mates") and power tool (a guy who has achieved wealth or status despite being a complete jerk) are the male language-lover's answer to driving a Mercedes, instantly communicating masculine savvy without giving the appearance of trying too hard.

Think of this book as your secret man-i-festo to guy talk, just don't broverdose on it.

Word of the Day: Smirting

The British coined a word, Smirting, for smokers flirting outside public places where smoking is banned, such as pubs and restaurants. There's nothing more romantic than huddling under a tiny awning on a rainy night, smoking cigarettes like a band of outsiders.

If you need a pick up line to use besides: Is your daddy RJ Reynolds? Cause you are smoking, try one of these...
