The Day Franticmommy “met” FrazzeledMummy

http://frazzeledmummy.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/baby-blues/. First, I loved your handle. THEN I read your comment about feeling run down etc. And how you dont rest EVER. DITTO. Me either. And I think we should change that (I’m not sure I even know how to relax!). We have something in common beside our names! Then I read your post and I want you to know You.Are.SO.NORMAL. I’ve been there. Not all that long ago either. Heck, I’m probably still there! I live in Minnesota and winters tend to get lllooonngg.  It;’s Fall here now so we are heading into what I call “4 months of captivity”. I’ve noticed in our family, the more we are under each others feet, the more tempers get short, I get cranky and snappy, which usually leads to the reast of the fam being the same way. Money is uber tight here too. We are down to one income. BUT I made it my mission to “find adventure” as often as possible. Cheap or free adventure. The more we are out moving around (distracted) the less time we have to get on each others nerves. Fun doesn’t have to cost money. We walk at parks, made it a goal to visit a new playground every weekend, and even started attending church on Sunday. You are not alone, you just need to tap into a new circle of friends. Sometimes we become like a record with a scratch. Our “needle” get stuck in the groove and just plays over and over. Pop that needle out of the groove and go find a new adventure this weekend. ((HUGS))

Blogging Terminology – Franticmommy Style

I was recently trying to find an on-line list of Blog Terminology (cuz we DO speath our own lingo dontchaknow) for a blogging class I’m teaching. It amazed some the terminology I came across that is and ISN’T used in blogging.

And I am still amazed I didn’t come across the word and definition for “Followanywhere WTF?

BUT I did come this great list that I just had to share.

Blogstipation - writer’s block for bloggers. Can’t think of what to blog about?



Blogathy – I do not want to post today and I do not care about it.


Blogopotamus – A long long blog post.


Blogorrhea – unusually high output of articles.


Bleg - To use one’s blog to beg for assistance etc.


Hitnosis – Refreshing your browser repeatedly to see if your hit counter or comments have increased


GAD – Google Adsense Disorder. Repeatedly checking your AdSense earnings. more


Blego – Blog+Ego. Measuring blogger worth

Blogroach - A commenter who rudely disagrees with posted content


Blogoholic – addicted to blogging.


Blogorific = blogtastic – something which a blogger says is terrific


Blogsit - maintaining a blog while the primary blogger is on leave


Blogvertising – Also called blogvert. Advertising on a blog.


Blurker – a blog reader not posting comments, just lurking around quietly.


Blogathon – update your website every 30 minutes for 24 hours straight. Maybe collect sponsorships.

I’m for-sure am afflicted with the first four. Does that mean I need an intervention?

What blog words/terms/slang do YOU use?

    I love the list! I think my personal favorite is Blogroach, but it’s hard to decide!

  2. ModernMom September 23, 2010 at 7:35 am #

    :) Oh I think Bleg is my fave!~

  3. JDaniel4's Mom September 23, 2010 at 10:59 am #

    This is such fun! I love the definitions! I so don’t want to be a blurker.

    Thanks for stopping by.

  4. BECKY September 23, 2010 at 1:45 pm #

    Those are great!! I can’t think of any slang I use,though….

  5. Mighty M September 23, 2010 at 3:29 pm #

    Those are great! I think I have a lot of Blurkers…most of them are family members!! :)

  6. Katherine September 23, 2010 at 7:19 pm #

    I think that even things we thing are common like “follow” and “lurk” are foreign to non-bloggers. This is a great list.

  7. Myya September 23, 2010 at 11:05 pm #

    So funny the words that just kind of make thier way into everyday use.

  8. FranticMommy September 24, 2010 at 4:28 am #

    I forgot one! How about “Blogworthy”. It’s like when your husband does a complete knucklehead move that you KNOW you have to write about. You look at him and say, “OMG, THAT was SO blogworthy” ;)

  9. ranndomized September 24, 2010 at 6:06 am #

    I love this post! I wasn’t aware that there was blog terminology, however Ive used these (thinking I made them up – how disappointing to find out the truth!):

    Blog worthy
    Blogtastic

    I may have to link your post to my blog to educate other bloggers and readers! Thanks for posting this :-)

    Lol! I am definitely guilty of the blogopotamus post! I’ve used the word blurfing long before I actually started blogging. BLog sURFING. I just started using it naturally, but then someone looked it up & its actually in the Urban Dictionary! Hopped here from BF, SITS! :>

  11. Jennifer September 24, 2010 at 12:26 pm #

    Texan Mama coined the phrase “blomit”, basically where you vomit out your thoughts and feelings on your blog.

  12. FranticMommy September 24, 2010 at 5:14 pm #

    “blomit” OMG! Thats freakin hilarious. The blog equivilent to verbal diarreah!

  13. FranticMommy September 24, 2010 at 5:15 pm #

    Oh yeah…Troll. We can’t forget TROLL!

  14. Sheila (Bookjourney) September 24, 2010 at 6:03 pm #

    LOL…. I am frequently guilty of Blogorrhea.

    I have also used blogolicious, blogitis,blogified,and I didnt see blogiversaryy in here (the anniversary of when you first started blogging)

    Oh and I really like blogworthy!

  15. Midwest Mommy September 24, 2010 at 9:14 pm #

    Ha! I like this list. I haven’t heard of some of these.

  16. Mrs. Accountability September 25, 2010 at 10:37 am #

    Two I use are “blogfodder” which must be a synonym to “blogworthy” and blogoversary.

  17. Craig and Tanya Amberson, September 25, 2010 at 1:34 pm #

    Awesome list! Here’s my contribution.

    Blogludite:
    A person who doesn’t even know what a blog is.

  18. FranticMommy September 25, 2010 at 4:13 pm #

    “Blogudite”…like a blognoramous! :)

  19. Craig and Tanya Amberson, September 25, 2010 at 6:12 pm #

    This is addictive!

    “Blogiopath” A blogger without a conscience.

  20. FranticMommy September 25, 2010 at 7:12 pm #

    Ha! This IS addictive! How about “Blump”. A blogger who is an inactive lump. Doesn’t really write anything, just reposts other people’s stuff :)

  21. The Flying Chalupa September 25, 2010 at 10:41 pm #

    Blurker is a great word. And pretty much defines my family and friends. The people who comment are always bloggers! Hmmm…what slang do I use? Blogathon, Blogtastic, Blogology…

  22. FranticMommy September 26, 2010 at 7:16 am #

    Yes family members are notrious Blurkers. Which I have to keep in mind when I’m writing. I can’t talk too much smack about them since I don;t know who’s reading ;)

  23. Melissa {adventuroo} September 26, 2010 at 9:41 pm #

    Oh this is HI-LAR-I-OUS! Especially love Blego and Blogorrhea. SO, so true!

  24. Jonette September 27, 2010 at 4:34 am #

    I love this! I’m a total blogaholic. I’m actually a few of these lol.

  25. Laura September 27, 2010 at 6:02 am #

    Great list! Stopping by from SITS.

  26. Jyll September 27, 2010 at 7:41 am #

    Blurkers are so annoying! It is like being spied on! lol Please just comment! lol I use blah-blah-blogging for when I just ramble. lol

  27. Mary Aalgaard September 27, 2010 at 7:14 pm #

    Those are great. I hope you have an enthusiastic turn-out for your class. I don’t know any, but I’ll make one up blogervation – irritation with blogs and/or bloggers.

  28. Vodka Logic September 29, 2010 at 3:19 pm #

    Blurker.. lol.

    Great terms

  29. The Coupon Sista September 30, 2010 at 10:47 am #
