    In reply to Peel Your Ears While I Vomit on the Table: Learn to Speak Hipster
    The day I see two modern-day hipsters having a knife fight (as on the cover of the book) is the day I give them respect.

    Also, who comes up with this stuff? Some of it sounds cool, but a lot of it takes longer to say than the actuall thing they're describing. #hipsters

    FWIW, I think "screwed, blued, and tatooed" is originally navy talk. As in "Why is Smitty in the hole?" "He went ashore last night and hung out at Jimmy's. By the time he was three sheets to the wind the working gals were all over him. He hit the town. Woke up this morning screwed, blued, and tatooed - literally: no uniform, no wallet, black eye, and nothing to wear but a pink robe with feathers around the collar and a new mermaid named Lacey on his chest." "Feathers, huh? Pink? Sorry I missed that. Must a cut quite a handsome figure." "Yup. Officer material. He couldn't get back on base so he hit the drink up by the fishing peer, swam over, and did the whole 'man overboard' routine." "Worth it?" "Yeah, they looked pretty hot to trot." #hipsters

    In reply to Is it Racist?: The British Couples Retreat Poster
    Slightly racist? (Was that an option?) Marketing, schmarketing. If it was just as question of photo composition, why not take out another couple and leave the black couple in? And if you say "Well, the black actors are probably not that well known in the UK and they want to sell tickets," then you're also trying to tell me that Brits are very familiar with Kristin Bell and Malin Ackerman (and I live in the U.S. and I don't know who they are). So yeah, not sure who's responsible (the US distributors who may have shuffled this version of the poster to the Brits without giving them an option or some Brit distributors who sais "Blimey! We can't have this!"), but, yeah, slightly racist. #couplesretreat

    I've always called the Young and Entitled who think they invented Art and Music over the bridge simply "assholes."

    I know it isn't very clever, but I pretty much spent my twenties on a community joy ride -- now I'm a middle-aged barbeque with a leaky roof.... #hipsters

    Eh. They try to act like there's no black people in Britain when it comes time for the lit prizes too, so, no surprises here. #couplesretreat

    The Coens' Miller's Crossing is the ur-text of earlier American slang -- Prohibition Era. So "Take your flunky and dangle." #hipsters

    These totally vibrate me.

    Let me misuse in a new sentence -
    I enjoy these vibrators.

    BTW, I usually refer to the Williamsburg doucheoisie as trend 'tards. #hipsters

    Hipster hatred always kinda drove me batty, because there ain't nothing hip about those W'burg yokels. Am suggesting calling 'em "Elmers", appropriating carnie slang for a rube, easily duped. Think of the satisfaction of elbowing your way down Bedford Avenue, muttering, "Outta my way, Elmer...Watch yourself, Elmer...Nice pants there, Elmer..." #hipsters

    @Senor_Wences: Oh how I love the word 'rube.' Usually reminds me of Silence of the Lambs: You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. #hipsters

    @Senor_Wences: Hipster hatred has always driven me batty too, but in my case, it's because I love me some hipsters. I've outgrown my own jaded youth, but hipsters of every generation will always have a place in my heart.

    Also, I don't agree they are easily duped. They simply have a very naaaaarrrrrooooow interpretation of what has value in the world.

    Having said that, I do like the term "Elmer" as it's kinda retr0-hip in it's own way. #hipsters

    @themediatrix: I dunno, "skinny jeans" seem to be selling them a bill of goods, or that period when they were all walking around wearing suit vests with T-shirts and tootling on harmonicas, emulating god-knows-who. And there was, of course, the handlebar mustache phase.

    I think a fair amount of "hipster" hatred stemmed from using that word itself...causing the hater's own last-picked-for-softball insecurities to lead them down the path of thinking the hatee felt somehow hipper than them, whereas they are actually just like mouse pinkies, blindly squirming through the darkness searching for a teat's comfort.

    "Elmer" is a bit Well-Met-Hail-Fellow and can be spoken both with and without a sneer. #hipsters
