Gents, it is time we reversed this trend of things being named to sound "radical" and "gnarley"

Case in point: BLU-Ray (As I discussed in my other thread) but I suspect the crime boss behind this is a mysterious black box called "Xbox360".

Can you think of any others?! Sham-wow perhaps?

To reverse this trend I would like people to now only refer to it as "Xbox Three Hundred and Sixty" in all your posts.

Say it with me now!! "Xbox Three Hundred and Sixty".

Also, to anyone who says "Xbox Three Hundred and Sixty" you will be meeting at my very own press conference both myself and Gerard Butler!! The two stars of movies such as 300 and uhh, PS: I love you...

Note: Yes. We did do both of those films for the money. And no we will not be answering any further questions relating to those two particular motions pictures. Ahem. Thank you and goodnight!

Saying Blu Ray saves me a keystroke by not having to type an "e". Saying "360" shaves seconds off my sentence by cutting out unnecessary syllables. Why contest the trend, just go with the flow.

I think Xbox three hundred and sixty is cool too.

Its the principle of it - why should we conform to these "attempts" to be "hip" and "radical" - I say we resist it and pronounce the name like articulate people!

I don't think I have ever heard someone refer to the number 360 as three hundred sixty, it's always three sixty.

A lot of boring middle-aged marketing people in committees spent a lot of time researching our slang so they could package it up and feed it back to us in a kind of cannabalistic dog food fashion.... who are we to argue that it's 360?

sometimes i like using slang around english majors, not only does it take them much longer to get their points across...they are oblivious to the cool urban tongue that is meant for quick conversations.

Examples

Person 1: wat sup homie, wat it do?

me: can't call it, just chilling macking with some honies.

Person 1: aight yo, i'll get up wit you later.

me: no doubt, peace yo

---

Person 2: hello shyskillz, how are you? what are your plans for today?

me: i'm not quite sure yet, but right now i have some pretty young ladies over, we're just relaxing and conversing about any and everything, you know... blah, blah, blah.

Person 2: that sounds really fun, oh well, maybe we can get together some other time?

me: *sigh * i'm sure, but i'll have to check my schedule and get back to you.

---

basically the same conversation, but person 2 makes it longer and potentially will drag out the conversation with his choice of words. Person 1 is right to the point and with no indications of prolonging shyskillz time with the ladiez..

hey, one of my PSN ID's has the name Soulja in it. how is that annoying? is life so boring that you are easily annoyed by the way someone spells their name? i don't know if that's arrogance or misery......or both. c'mon bud, itz really not that serious.
