Happy Memoriam Day!

Holidays and national days of commemoration are not off limits for the Ignorantic. So, this weekend when I was in Giant getting the Ribs for out cookout, I was treated to an Ignorantic phrase in Aisle 5.

This was an older Ignorantic who was having family over for a cookout, and she was shopping for the food. She was on her Bluetooth (something that annoys me to no end when you are in a store shopping), and she said to the other person on the phone "I am in the Giant picking up some last minute things for our Memoriam Day cookout". I could tell from the look on her face that the person listening corrected her; to which she responded "whateva".

A special thank you to that caller. You believe in intervention. You care. Thank you for trying. Baby steps...baby steps...

Ignorantic Names - Part 2

There is a lot to consider when you decide to brand your child with an ignorant name: their resumes when they apply for jobs, commencement activities - how folks will react to hearing their name called, the grade school and secondary education years when teachers call attendance out loud, and many, many more examples.

The bottom line is that this kind of branding is beyond ignorant; it is downright criminal. I started this madness in my post last Monday; now here is Part Two. Thanks again to all of my readers who are emailing me with these ridiculous names. I wish I could say these are jokes, but NONE of these names are jokes. Someone's child answers to this ridiculousness.

Here is Part 2 of the List:

Graduation Can Be a Tricky Time for Ignorantics...

Get out your Dollar Store finest, because this chick has "gradeated" and she's happy about it! Here, the name and the face has been blurred to protect the ignorant! I don't know about you but the Dollar Store is always my first stop for shopping right after graduation! [insert sarcasm just in case you don't know me by now]

Wonder where she's heading after "gradeation"? Grad school? a job? the Dollar store? Great Adventures? Your guess is as good as mine!

Oh, and just in case you are wondering if this was a typo...the "u" is not that close to the "e" on the keypad for this to be a typing mistake. Yes, I did try to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Special Ignorantic Message: Happy Muvah's Day!

This is a big day of celebration for the Ignorantic. Ignorantics around the world, despite the fact that they search for and buy "Mother's Day" cards for their mothers, cannot resist the temptation to skewer their mothers like shrimp with an enthusiastic "Happy Muvah's Day"! 

As if they don't deserve more...as if they didn't go through hours of labor, years of life lessons, tending to our cuts, bruises, egos, etc....only to be called "Muvah" on Mother's Day.

If this ignorantic fits YOU, please give your mother a treat today and call her by her first name or just simply say THANK YOU and point to the card!

Rollback: Oscar-lating Fans in Aisle 8!

Everyone loves the cool breezes that flow from a fan in the Spring. Last week, when I was in the store shopping for a larger fan for my office, I was hit with another Ignorantic. It came out of nowhere and it took me by surprise...it wasn't a word, it wasn't slang...it was just plain IGNORANT! Folks, look to your left...what you see is what the Ignorantic in Walmart referred to as an "Oscar-lating Fan"!


Hey! We are naming everything else...why not our fans? I can't think of any other explanation for this slip. To most of us who hold the English language near and dear, we recognize that this is an Oscillating Fan. How did this fan become an Oscar? Shaking my head with my fan on!

Today's Ignorantic is NOT a WORD!

...just a picture. You really cannot get any more ignorant than this!
