A word I love that maybe you don't know
I've fallen in love with this word. I didn't make it up, although if you've never heard it and know me, you will think I have, because I love yelling cow noises. Nonetheless.
The word is "Mu", pronounced like an onomatopoeic (a word I really don't know how to spell) cow noise. It means, for those who don't care for the wikipedia entry linked above "Your questions sucks".
Examples!
Q: Is it preferable to restrict civil liberties to reduce terrorism, or live with the constant spectre of nuclear explosions in major US metropolitan areas?
A: Mu! According to most security experts I've read the opinions of, those two are almost entirely irrelevant to each other - restricting civil liberties is almost always security theater, rather than actual security.
Q: In the current Network Neutrality debate, do you support regulation by Congress, or letting the telecoms continue to run the Internets?
A: Mu! I don't trust Congress to do a good job of regulation, and I certainly don't trust the telecoms to do the right thing. Could we maybe come up with a third choice that wouldn't suck as much as ICANN?
