Boys Are 'Firefighter Cute,' Messy Room Is 'Ground Zero' in Sept. 11 Slang Their bedrooms are "ground zero." Translation? A total mess. A mean teacher? He's "such a terrorist." A student is disciplined? "It was total jihad." Petty concerns? "That's so Sept. 10." And out-of-style clothes? "Is that a burqa?" Click here to read the rest of the article. ...

You are such a terrorist if you don't read this article!

[wimpycat]

PING!

[Callahan]

I find it hard to believe that real kids use this idiotic, contrived slang. Then again my thinking is soooo September 10th.

[wimpycat]

PING!

"If you're weird, people might call you 'Taliban' or ask if you have anthrax..."

I saw them reading from this article on Fox and Friends this morning. ED is very good at imitating a teenager!

Then again my thinking is soooo September 10th.

I seriously don't think its bad at all. You see, Tom Dashole, the democrats, and the red diaper doper baby professors want us to return to pre-911 thinking, i.e., the "Time of Klinton".

Just call me "Firefighter Cute", or I will bring the "total jihad" on you!

For Great Justice!

"Their bedrooms are "ground zero." Translation? A total mess."

My parents used to refer to my bedroom as ground zero and that was almost 40 years before 9/11/01.

I'm pretty sure that the term was coined during the nuclear age in reference to the point of detonation of a fissional device.

Here I am nit-picking I guess that I shouldn't sweat the "sept. 10th" stuff

"Terror humor," as it's called by those studying the phenomenon, is even going to be the subject of a special panel organized by Paul Lewis, an English professor at Boston College, for a conference of the International Society for Humor Studies this summer in Forli, Italy.

Somebody has waaaaay too much time on their hands.

September 10th, 1965 No doubt! :)

R.D.D.B...been listening to Savage I see. Good Freeper!

[Xenalyte]

Hey, that's the ONE conference I wouldn't mind attending!

[Constitution Day]

Yeah, me too...

Their ultimate work would probably be the "World's Funniest Joke" like on the Monty Python skit.

[codebreaker]

It is pretty contrived, I don't hear any teens talking that way.

I discovered Savage about 2 months ago on the internet and I absolutely love him! I consider myself a connissuer of talk radio and have listened to most hosts around the nation and Savage is one of the best and most entertaining. I consider him a cross between Richard Lewis, Pat Buchanan, William F. Buckley, and Frank Rizzo.

When I first heard "RDDB" it immediately caught my attention because I knew exactly the people he was talking about. If anyone spends any time in college you know that these leftists are all over our universities, spewing their filth and enforcing leftist orthodoxy with Ernst Rohm efficiency. Savage has 4 degrees and spent all that time at Berkeley so he knows what he is talking about, which is why his show might be the radio version of "FrontPageMag".

My husband LOVES Savage (right at bedtime, so I'm a captive audience) - but I can only take so much of him - SOMETIMES he's just a little too exhibitionary for me - if that explains it.....too full of himself, I guess.

LOL Gotta love kids!

[Howlin]

Petty concerns? "That's so Sept. 10."

Now, I like that!

ED is a babe...

Hey all, does anyone else think that idiot Mancow should be dropped? That guy makes me sick and his incesant sexual inuendo to ED is repugnant. I know he used to date her, but what a putz...comments?
