Bloggers! No More…

By

lizclaman1.jpegOne of the more adorable things about Liz Claman’s blog for Morning Call has been her conceptual dyslexia—calling her readers “Bloggers” when everyone else in the world knows that it’s the folks who write blogs who get called that. We’re not sure where she picked up the opposite idea but it’s been cute and unique. And now it’s over. Someone spilled the beans and let Liz know that she was a blogger and that her readers were, well, something else.
What else? Liz isn’t happy with just calling her readers “readers.” She thinks there needs to be a special term for blog readers. Actually, it’s kind of surprising that there isn’t a word blog readers. So if you have a suggestion, please leave it below in comments. We’ll forward the best answers on to the gang at Morning Call.

      Maybe Liz can call her readers “pagans.”

      So, according to Dealbreaker, Liz Claman’s erroneous usage of the term “bloggers” is “adorable,” “cute,” and “unique.” In a woman, maybe. But if a man had made the same mistake he would be labelled a retard and a fool.
      Ah, double-standards: you gotta love ‘em!

      How about Sloggers as much of what you read you have to slog through before you get to anything really juicy and/or usesful.
      Other potential terms:
      Cloggers for those of us who use business time to read through various blogs and take up valuable bandwidth
      Roguers meaning those who get their news and info from rogue sources rather than mainstream media

      Didn’t anyone notice how well Liz’s sweater is fitting her in that picture? Sweet Jesus!

      Yes, I noticed Liz’s sweater. It looks like two puppies tussling under a blanket. Adorable.

      While I have no doubt about her professional credentials, her keen intellect, her sterling portfolio, and that she is a damn fine credit to the media, the fact is that she has an amazing rack, and is obviously justifiably proud of them.
      Good for her.

      If the writer is a blogger, then the reader could be a bloggee! :)

      Instead of the erroneous “bloggers,” Liz should address her fans as what they really are…
      “Hello, Outrageously-Huge-Breast Worshippers!”
