WSJ:
JOPLIN, Mo.—Ninety of the people unaccounted for after Sunday’s devastating tornado have been located and are alive, officials said, as this hollowed-out city of 50,000 people began rebuilding its school system and making other tentative steps toward recovery.
What kind of person is this? A person who vanishes when a tornado hits and reappears only after a spell of being missing? We must, I think, turn to Hollywood to find the most meaningful definition for such a person…
Such a person? My best shot: A Dorother.
An example: A diner in a small town.
Trucker: Why is that man at the counter looking at me funny?
Waitress: Don’t pay him no mind. He means no harm. He is a Dorother.
Trucker: I see. I see. Thanks for letting me know.
Good morning, Charles. I don’t think you’re in Kansas anymore. By which I mean, I think you’re tripping balls or something.
I like this.
The best way to let everyone know that sticking “-er” on the end of a noun doesn’t work anymore is to riff on it until the inanity is inescapable.
Charles is bringing ErGate to the Erers.
Leave the neologisms to Savage, who’s at least smart enough to include his audience in the process.
