Gore and Gangrene - not just for slashers!

Submitted by Sabugosh on 13 August 2009 - 1:20pm.
I think this symbol rocks! Of course what the @$&# would I know – I am just a registered nurse and the gore and gangrene is right down my alley. I would love to see this posted somewhere in our hospital – like maybe the OR?! Keep the creations coming please! Sabugosh, RN, deke.com/lynda.com fan, Photoshop amateur

... Before I found this episode in my iTunes library. But then I watched it, and I thought to myself, "Well, gee- what's the point in living if every airplane sign is going to be an undecipherable thing of pure horror?" Thank you so much, Deke. My image of life has been forever tarnished.

Disparaging comment

Submitted by LoneEagle on 20 July 2009 - 4:45pm.
Ha! Both you and Colleen are wrong--the term is P-E-J-O-R-A-T-I-V-E, meaning disparaging or derogatory (Look that up in a real Dictionary--remember those--printed on paper, bound in a book, with a cover.) Regardless, Deke--You're the greatest Photoshop trainer anywhere, even if you can't spell. Shirley A Taylor Editor Extraordinaire, and Photoshop aficionado!

Hey, I'm a writer, CW's an editor

Submitted by deke on 20 July 2009 - 7:27pm.
Wut the hel du we know abut speling or dikshunarys? Obviously, Shirley, we need to add you to the team. But I like our misspellings. I think they're cute. :-)

And CW admits she's not that kind of editor

Submitted by colleen on 21 July 2009 - 11:39am.
Just because I have "editor" in my title (well, it is my title, so I can define at will) doesn't mean I know how to spell (as has been proven here many times.) I've long accepted that development (and author management, also proven here on occaision) is the right spot for me on the editorial continuum.

Did I spell that right?

Submitted by colleen on 21 July 2009 - 11:42am.
"Occasion" is one of my spelling bêtes-noir (bête-noirs?) Yeah, if I can't spell in English, how am I going to manage French?

Nice one

Nice one, +1 comment to the tally.

Miss C's right

Yah, I think the 'in the toilet' bit gives it context and irony and the exclamation mark gives it verbal punch, plus it's still short. Dekes version is too short, it's almost just a random expletive; the kind of thing a drunk mad dude says to himself while wandering the streets. ;-) Which goes to show that Deke hiring her and tolerating this insubordination (tee-hee) was probably a good choice.

Sigh, to Set The Record Straight (Once Again)

Submitted by colleen on 6 June 2009 - 9:17pm.
First of all, my beloved "Fearless" Leader, you craftily undermined my "number of characters" argument by excluding the exclamation point from the #*@! ing example you used for "my" version. Everyone knows all swear words must end in ! if you really mean it. Thus the results of your crooked survey are skewed irrevocably, and your "edgy" persona is once again proved to be a sham. Secondly, while I did mention scan and meter were improved by adding "in the toilet" (Which causes the reader to mentally emphasize "Don't" and "@#$!" and "Toi-" which are all funnier words than "Toss"), the key benefit of my version is the $&@!ing irony: "in the toilet" being the precise location one should toss their #$@!. Must I re-explain everything? Don't you have a whole other list of menial sidekickery you require of me? @$&!ing thought so.

Listen to you curse like a #ß$&*@%! sailor

Deke, I don't mean to make pejorative comments, but you are hereby warned that there is no such thing as a "projorative" term... :-)

Projorative = Up with Joratives!

Submitted by deke on 6 June 2009 - 6:50pm.
I like sickos! Hence "pro-jorative"! See, I'm not misspellin' -- I'm coining words here. (That plus our spell-checker is mysteriously broken.)

Misspellin'

Submitted by msabene on 7 June 2009 - 8:10am.
Deke, If that's the case, keep on coinin'

Would spellchecker even know what you meant?

Submitted by colleen on 6 June 2009 - 6:53pm.
I would think your made up word would stump even a properly working spellchecker.

Wish I could, but I gotta go with the flow (and the cadence) on this one. But more importantly, shouldn't you figure out how to capitalize the first letter in the "amibuous swear word"? (I can't believe that this was the post that got me to sign up for an account. Please don't tell anyone!)
