I used the word "hegemonic" tonight. And not even ironically.

I feel so dirty.

You guys are, as we say in the South, a hoot.

"Hegemonopolize" indeed. Since I'm in Cultural Studies, I'll see if I can't popularize that word for you.

Now I really feel dirty. How can I hold my head up in respectable pre-post-post circles after aiding in Cultural Studies' hegemonopoloization of language?

Isn't this really more of a hegemonoexploitation of language?

*sniffs* I think two neologisms is quite enough for one day, thanks. We're not speaking German.

Mmm, the language that brought us "gesamtkunstwerk." It's too bad English can't do that. maybe We should start capitalizing all the Nouns too...

capitalize Nouns will not. Crazy Language german is.

P.S. I just want "le" in English. Like they have in Singapore.
