Word For The Day, May 7, 2013
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
spang [spang]
-adv
directly, exactly
[Spang is an Americanism of uncertain origin. It first entered English in the 1830s. ]
Pinged for removal - sorry
Thanks. Commonwealth Orthopedic is the official Orthopaedic group/PT of the Redskins. They have a surgical group and a PT facility as well. The surgeons specialize in a specific body part. Because the hlps were recalled by the MFR, they have had a few re-dos but not many.
Well you just apanged right into that weather report!
apanged=spanged
They are using this song as an ad for a site called Shoe Dazzle. I don't get it, and I don't like it. I hate the image for impressionable teens. I think I'm a fuddy duddy, but our kids are so vulnerable. Shoe Dazzle will get no business from me.
See #48
My daughter likes her She Wolf song.
what a stupid idea that was for them to use that for shoes. song is dumb, who’s even heard it?
started listening to her Pandora station and have discovered a lot of stuff i like. Juanes is another big latin star who is also from Colombia. He is going to be performing at Wolf Trap the week of our anniversary next month, so we will go to see him. i asked about seeing Don Omar in Miami for my bday but he nixed that idea ; )
I never heard of it. The lyrics seem a bit repetitive.
When you bump it today it’s ping.
When you done bumped it yesterday it spang.
sounds suthren to me! ; )
It is repetitive and tuneless. The only words that you can understand in the ad are “I crashed my car into a bridge and I don’t care.” You can’t discern the other words, which is just as well. The song plays behind images of fantastical shoes flashing across the screen. Just the thing to capture the attention of immature females.
I’ve heard/watched that ad at least 25 times in the last week, mostly on Fox. I’m spending a lot of time with the TV on these days.
You have to give You Tube your birth date to watch this ad on the Internet, and it comes with about 6 warnings about inappropriate content. Yet, it plays on TV ad nauseum. Where is Tipper Gore when we need her?

Have you seen the US version of this ad? This was voted most annoying ad in the UK.
Deservedly.
