BlogBlagger or WebBlagger: The Duncan's Jotter suggestions for a blogger who won't link |
|
|
The Doc asks:
"What do you call a blogger who won't link? We need a name for that." My suggestions: BlogBlagger or WebBlagger There are currently no Google hits for BlogBlagger or WebBlagger! Rationale: 'Blag' is UK slang for theft and/or borrowing something with no intention of paying it back. A BlogBlagger - or even just a Blagger - is someone who steals/borrows content/ideas from other bloggers without paying (linking) them back. Here are a couple of examples of 'Blag/Blagger' from the slang dictionaries: From A dictionary of slang - "B" - Slang and colloquialisms of the UK. blag: From The Online Dictionary of Playground Slang [warning: adult language]: Blagger : used to describe someone who is a bit of a 'pickey'. they never have their own fags,crisps and will constantly harrass someone to give them theirs instead. A bit like a sponger. can also be used to describe an action ie can I blag a fag off you. This article is permanently linked to http://duncan.smeed.org/blogblagger and http://duncan.smeed.org/webblagger so if you wish to blink me then please use one of those. Thanks. |
