It was cringeworthy enough when pundit-turned-blogger Arianna Huffington began talking about her cronies submitting a "blog" as if the word referred to an individual post, rather than an entire site. Now another web newbie, Steven Brill's socialite daughter, is mangling the lingo. Emily Brill ran into absurd socialgay Kristian Laliberte at Bloomingdale's menswear department last night. She summoned the fashion publicist over for a photo. “Okay Kristian, get over here. Let’s blog.” (Laliberte's desire to promote his label, Unruly Heir, must have trumped the embarrassment of such a hanger-on.)

She really said that? Honest to blog?
On the bright side, someone out there knows less than I do.
You ought to sign up that Hot Mailorder Marina The Philology Babe to do a video explaining the etymological distinctions between "blog" and "blah."
Oh, Jesus.
And now, my friends, for your consideration, I submit...a blog.
omg, soho bloomingdale's is the new Magician!
Hey everybody! It's blog time!
These blogger newbies ought to come to me for all the lingo. For instance, whenever I blog an email to my IPod, I make sure it's in Arial font so that it's easily downloadable to my instant messages; then i just click on it, double-click, and file down a jpeg to my internet webwork websiting network.
One-two-three-o'clock-four o'clock blog!
@CodePink: and hit RETURN!
I got blogged so hard last weekend I could hardly walk.
A comment to her fashion post on her blog.

No time for this, gotta go take the blog for a walk, if you know what I mean. But seriously, they say that blog is man's best friend, but not me! I'm blog-tired from all this blogging!
@mathnet: You obviously know a lot about computer logs.
If I had a blog,
I'd blog in the mornin'
I'd blog in the evenin'
All over the web!
I'd blog about fashion,
I'd blog about menswear!
I'd blog about the gays who wear
The seersucker hoodies!
A-all over the web!
@lawyergay: I can be-log that! Someblogs, I just can't blog it anymore! Is there a blog at the end of the bloggel? I don't blog but I do blog this--just say blog.
Once I jumped in the ocean and my suit came off and everyone could see my blog. It was blogging about in the waves under the summer sun in all it's bloggy glory. I was so embarrassed and afraid that the sun mught burn my blog.
@CodePink: That doesn't go through my browser door.
so wait, this whole "blog" thing is really code for pizza bagels right?
pizza bagels are so cash.
@sanson: Your avatar scares the blog out of me.
Emily sure is living high on the blog!
@CodePink: I've blogged but nobloggy will blog about it. Oh, blog it! I just wish somebloggy--anybloggy!--gave a blog. I'm gonna go crack open a sixblog and put my blogs up.
BTW, I just cross-pollinated your "star" thingy over on Deadspin. They all want to know what that's about.
Leitch, if he hasn't already, should be e-screaming at you within the next 20 minutes.
@KarenUhOh: Just tell them it means your a Dallas Cowboys fan.
@KarenUhOh: just reference the holocaust.
@lawyergay: That's a blog idea, blog that, blogcause there's no blog like the present (blog).
Let's blog
Put on your red shoes and type the blues
Let's blog to the throng
they're puttin' on the internets
Let's snark
monitor color lights up your face
Let's snark
snark to the crowd of an empty space
@rod: I will blog the post out of that comment.
I gets the yawns. Can't we just expunge the word? It always sounded like indigestion to me.
Blogging just sounds kind of......dirty that way.
Speaking of mangling the lingo, when did the LOL get dropped from sociaLOLgay Laliberte's homonymousish monicker? I miss the portmanteaulicious inanity...
Quit trying to make "blog" happen!
Why, just last night, I was blogging to God on the big white phone.
I don't pay attention to the bloggers when I'm Internetting.
