The word I hate most in the english language

(warning, offensive language, but hey! who cares?)

Is: (wait for it): “Rock Star”

It stands for everything I hate: Lack of individuality, lack of thinking, eager to please, elevating losers who should be gifted

If I hear the word without it being laced with enough sarcasm or cynicism to kill a normal human being, I instantly regard the source as being drop dead incompetent. (also referencens to the holy Rockstar game development studio, which churned out Max Payne, and the Grand Theft Auto franchise, is forgivable)

Here are a few translations for you, from moronspeak to english.

moronspeak: I’m a rockstar english: I’m a fucking moron

moronspeak: You’re a rockstar. english: I’m a fucking moron

moronspeak: I’m such a rockstar! LOL english: no translation available at this time.

moronspeak: Let’s party like rockstars! english: Let’s try to improve our self worth by consuming questionable quantities of alcohol, dance around and make general fools of ourselves, and try to convince ourselves we’re having fun. Also, please take note that I’m a fucking moron.

moronspeak: Dude, you party like a rockstar! english: Firstly, I’m a fucking moron. Second: My friend, your disregard for your liver, self worth, and your life is admirable.

Any usage of the word is either in Moronspeak or for obscure 60s and 70s bands. The origin of the word is probably tracable to the Rock-and-Roll culture of the 60s.

Did anyone notice that “my generation” by The Who refers to “their generation” and they’re like fifty years old now.

If rock is truly dead, bollywood and morons around the world are keeping the damned word alive.
