what's hot! what's not! | 2002-08-10 - 9:45 p.m.


Magazines of a certain caliber are always publishing listas of cosas that are hot and cosas that are being escorted, kicking and screaming, out of the building. De vez en cuando, something interesante like a buzzword or a new dance will find its way onto one of these listas, but I find that for the most part, hot/not listas are reserved for relativamente uninspiring asuntos, like the disposition of tooled leather and fur-lined denim.

This is a huge error on the part of the magazine editorship! Who out there gives un bledo whether black kohl eyeliner is hip this month or not? Whereas we all want to know whether the way we talk is cutting edge or hopelessly outdated. They say the language is changing daily, after all, and with so much emphasis on the importance of national unity hoy d�a, what better time to asegurar we're all speaking the same language!

In the esperanza that alguien at one of these popular magazines will sit up and take notice, I am compiling a lista of words that are hot -- in the sentido that they are being used quite a lot these d�as. This is what I've come up with so far:

HOT: hero, unity, forever, honor, permanent

And on the flip side of the moneda, here's a lista of what's not so hot, in the sentido that these words no longer make any sentido to anyone anymore:

NOT: hero, unity, forever, honor, permanent

Hmmm. Upon analysis, it appears the language of national tragedy does not lend itself very well to hot/not listas.

More tooled leather, anyone?
