MEETINGS PART II- huh...yeah. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing...say it again y'all

Before I begin, I must tell you that I do know that this is not social enterprise. However, it does hamper S.E. in some way I am sure of it. Maybe this is helping you save time so you can hit up the next donor to better our causes. Yea. I love it. That’s it!

I left off on helping you make up a few frankenwords for your next meeting. But why, do you ask? Because we want to make them pretend that they know what you know they don’t know. Ya know? It’s fun because the next time they pretend to know something, all you have to say is “whatever mettinista.” Meetinista is my new frankenword for this blog. Are you still clueless? Alright! I will delve even further.

Completely new words account for less than one percent of all English neologisms. So we are left with the frankenwords to be able to PIMP UP OUR VOCABULARY. Basic prefixes and suffixes can not work for our meeting so no re’s, un’s, hood’s, ness’,or ment’s. We are going right straight for the Mack daddy’s. Here we go:

-ista: forming a noun which refers to a supporter or devotee of a person or ideology. Like I am a Clinton-ista others may be a fashion-ista. Remember meeting and –ista.

-rati: used to form a plural noun referring to a group of people who claim to have special expertise in a particular area. If you are addicted to texting you may be a texterati. I suggest if you are a texterati, please only do it behind the wheel of a fast moving car. Thanks you.

-razzi: is used to form a plural noun referring to people, usually journalists, who persistently invade the personal privacy of individuals in the public eye. This suffix originates from the word paparazzi. I personally know a stalkerazzi. Or that is what I believe he is, if not, he is just a freak.

-gate: forming a noun or adjective denoting a scandal. The most famous? I hope you know. Kind of like H2Ogate. Being that I am a Clintonista, I detest the whole Monicagate. That skank.

Ok, that is enough to get you working on your fake words to throw out in you next meeting. How about Linda lame ass? Let’s make her a workmans comperati. Or maybe if she comes into the next meeting in her best polyester twill suit so tight it makes her breasts stand out like Mussolini’s balcony, she can be the newest company fashionista.

This is a short one but I want to leave you with a few meeting rules that will make you shine.

Meeting Rules:
Never arrive on time, or you will be stamped a beginner.
When in doubt, suggest a subcommittee be appointed. I love this one.
Don’t say anything until the meeting is half over; this stamps you as being wise.
Be as vague as possible; this prevents irritating others.
Be the first to move for adjournment; this makes you popular because it is what everyone wants anyway.

Lastly, remember that meetings are just a group of people who individually can do nothing but as a group decide that nothing can be done. Chew on that one for a while.
