Guest Numbers

[bird]

What's with the surge in guests? Meaning no disrespect, because Indietalk is a great site, but is there an anthropology or psychology class lurking around?

 

[indietalk]

Wow, I just noticed the numbers too. Cool!

 

[NicklausLouis]

It's my legions of fans coming to vote for Sometimes They Come Loose.

Poke

 

[Zensteve]

I know why

 

[HailtotheKing]

I know why too Zen! Let's keep it to ourselves.

 

[bird]

Can you tell us now, hmmm?

 

[Mikey D]

how about now??

 

[Zensteve]

I could tell you... but then I'd have to 'gitmo you.

Cuba's nice this time of year, though.

 

[indietalk]

There's no secrets, just advertising changes.

 

[Mikey D]

"'gitmo"???


ok I'll admit it I had to look it up.

Ok... so I can understand the word being abbreviated. It is such a LONG word and one that is quite difficult to spell.

Notice my lack of an attempt

but now the abbreviation is its own word??? when did that happen?

Or have I missed something. Which, by the way, is always a possibility.

Welcome to the wonderful world of linguistics and lexicon modification

Im gonna go gitmo candy... mmmmm I knew my kids would come in handy at some point.




ps.. I think it has to do with the Fall? College courses start. people in film school looking for stuff related.

but thats just a guess.
