twunty hour work week

Filed under: wordishness, you call that news? — schlinky at 9:04 pm on Tuesday, November 20, 2007

Witty smart-ass and schplog favorite Andy Wibbels has us spitting the proverbial milk out the nose with his fabulous rant at smug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug Tim Ferris (known Twunt and author of the 4 Hour Workweek). Good use of his (and our) new favorite word. Although “complete douche-lord twunty asshole” is even better, if a bit over the top. All in a week’s blogging for Mr. Wibbels.

A twunt is, well, for goodness sakes you can figure it out on your own.

A delicious little bit of wordishness. We approve whole-heartedly.
Now we’re just waiting to read latest Ferris book, the Twunty Hour Work Week.

To be fair, I’d been saving the word ‘douche-lord’ up for a while. Though I know that ‘douche’ and it’s many permutations has been outmoded after much use on Gawker.com. I just love the idea of a Douche Lord – I picture a guy ready to joust! I learned about twunt from this Metafilter thread which also includes the slurs cocknipple and motherfisting babyraper.

I’ve had to remove all combos involving the -tard suffix out of respect to people who actually have a functional disability: they are much smarter than anybody I’d call an N-tard anyday.

Assclown reminds another one that I have in cold storage for future usage.

Disclaimer: While I still found big value from Tim’s book, I don’t think he’s a complete twunt – just that the ideas in that post are quite twunty – and doing the pass-agg non-apology is a bit twunty as well.

Maybe I’m just jealous his book is a WSJ bestseller and mine isn’t. :(

Anyway, there are only twunty-four hours in a day, so maybe that’s an idea. The twunty-four hour day. Or something like that.
