Linguistic Bigots...
No *you* go...

It makes me wince every time my lily-white Commander uses the term "girlfriend" in the "You go Girlfriend!" context. Why? Because he only says it when he is talking to black soldiers. I know that he only does this because he is acutely self-conscious about his palpable lack of "cool" but it doesn't make it any more palatable.
This sort of thing goes on all the time but since he is sitting right here in front of me and has said it no less than 10 times over the last 40 minutes of the excremental "American Idol" made me take note of this bit of inanity online. Welcome to Digital Immortality... ummm dawg.
Update : Sweet hopping Christ! He actually started trotting out "dawg" not one minute after I posted this. Here I thought I was exaggerating for comic effect.
Further Update : Apparently this is my 300th article... Not quite up to the standards of my other century mark articles but what the hey?
