Why are all of these tags screaming?

Oh, I guess they are always screaming. Also, I don't like any of these. *cries in a corner*

How about "Woman of Distinction" ?

Some of those terms are kind of male-oriented, so that would be even more fun ...

gender neutral PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Two out of four are clearly gender neutral. Hero could be male or female but honestly, male comes to mind first and I have to translate.

GENDER NEUTRAL.

It should be AMERICAN HERO. I am displeased that AMERICAN HERO was left off this poll.

I liked AMERICAN HERO, but I'm in always in favor of the word "SWASHBUCKLING" being used more often.

I said it before, I will say it again: My suggestions are "Pitbull" and "Socialite"

@8: But NOT "Pitbull Socialite"?

When I first saw the new badge, I thought it said:
"SLOG charity case all-star"

For the next year I will be happy to heroically buckle the turbulent layer of water that washes up on the beach after an incoming wave has broken.

I'm donating to Kenny G.

How about Socialite Pitbull?

1.) SOME OF US ARE NOT AMERICAN, CIENNA.

2.) I've been off Slog all day. What the hell happened? What have I done?

@14: You ruined it. Ruined it!
16
I would accept "Socialite Pitbull" but not "Pitbull Socialite". One is clearly sexist.
17
@14: But you are donating to an AMERICAN charity, so you can still be an American Hero.

Seen as a hero by Americans, that is.

Personally, I still think "Awesome Person" is best, but we have to change with the times, I suppose.

By the way, if "hero" and "master and commander" are not seen as gender neutral, the fault lies with the reader, not the text.

@Theodore: hmm good point. Nah, I'll stick to swashbuckling.

@TVDinner: or MAYBE I've SAVED Slog. Did you consider THAT? (Also it's pretty cool to wake up in the morning and be told you've ruined Slog. Thanks! Squee!)

"Missed it by *that* much."

Please wait...
