Word of the Day: A Day In the Life of Ol' Dirty Bastard

"Ah! Madam," said Ovid, "how great a solecism would it be both in a lover and a poet if he did not look upon his mistress as the sublimest object of his thoughts!"

At which point I walks in, piss onna carpet an' say, "now that's a mu' fuckin' solecism, bitch!"

Da nex speaker was Repazen'a'ive Trenton Teetle, of Jersey: "But the AAUP's (Association of American University Presses) guidelines go beyond correcting what it regards as solecisms to more drastic exercises in raising consciousness. Consider the traditional personification of ships as feminine. According to the AAUP task force, such usage is 'quaint at best' and should be avoided: 'it is preferred'. Along the same literalist lines, you should think twice before describing an important work by a woman scholar as 'seminal'."

At which point, I stroll up onna stage, push my homey outna way and say inna da mic: "You want seminal? You get it." So's I drop me draws, jag it off an' jizzle ma nizzle all over podium. "Nah thass some mu' fuckin' solecism, all y'alls!"

This week's theme: toponyms, or words derived from my dick in yo' mouf.
