Yesterday Shane, Scot and I were standing around working, talking about words we hate.
Shane: Whoever invented the word 'bling'...I'd like to have a few words with him. New words are never created on an intellectual basis.
Scot: Well it's harder when it comes out of this kind of culture.
Shane: And metrosexual too. I just hate that term.
Scot: Yeah.
Shane: I mean, just because I can cook and dress nice doesn't mean that any day now I could just go out and suck dick.
Scot: Why do they have to put the word 'sexual' in there?
Me: Maybe we should come up with our own new word.
Scot: Why can't they just say 'well dressed man'?
Me: It's too many words, we need something short and catchy.
Shane: Like a renaissance man.
Scot: You mean like a carny?
Me and Shane: A carny?
Scot: Yeah. People that work at the circus. Like the renaissance fair.
Shane: No, no. A renaissance man. You know, someone who knows a lot about a lot of different stuff. Smart and cultured.
Me: Maybe we should call them a Renny.
Shane: Ooh, that's good.
Me: Yeah, no sexual connotations whatsoever. I'm gonna try and get that word to catch on. Instead of Metrosexual, Renny.
So that is my message to you readers. Down with 'metrosexual' and it's connotations! Instead, use the word 'renny' to describe that well dressed man with an extensive wine knowledge and nice shoes.
