Try mama-preneur

don't hit me.

Arkanaut: Shouldn't it be "Mom-trepreneur"? Just to make the number of syllables to match?

Oh, the meetings they must have had for this. Brainstorming sessions.....

I dunno what's dumber, the word Mompreneur or me for never finding this site until it's linked off Fark and struggling to find a babysitter for years.

Also, half the sitters in our area appear to be between the ages of 19-21 and have tit shots for their profile pictures. It's like a cliche waiting to happen.

fireclown: Krieghund: Oh, we just call that "game store guy".

But what else are you going to do when your only skill is answering 40k rules questions?


Game Store Guys are a prime example, but there are others. And it isn't like being able to answer arcane 40K questions isn't a valuable skill.

Used to be a valuable skill until Privateer Press and Warmachine started eating GW's lunch all over the place in the last 3 years or so.

Just reading the headline made me angry!

The newest corporate-speak from my goliath bank employer: "Glocal"

/Global + Local
//Made me spit coffee and feel nauseous at the same time ...

Are those the 40-somethings that chase down the actors in Twilight?

No, but it should be!

DRTFA.
Is that like that move where Dianne Keaton gets knocked up and quits her job and moves to the quaint little Vermont farmhouse and sells her home-made babby food in a general store and becomes a famous business person and lives happily ever after with George, the handy man?

She's an uglypreneur.

Mambo Bananapatch: rev. dave: That word will not stick. Its worse than awful. Not catchy or something that causes anyone to feel respect, only disgust at the awkwardness of the word itself.

I don't know, you could have just described "afterparty", but it stuck. Humanity has a remarkable facility for taking to awful trends, sometimes for ages.

/there's no such thing as an "afterparty"
//THERE IS ONLY ANOTHER FARKING PARTY



"That's another complaint of mine, too much use of this prefix pre.... It's all over the language now. pre this, pre that..... place the turkey in a preheated oven.... it's ridiculous... there are only two states an oven can possibly exist in, heated or unheated.... preheated is a meaningless farking term... that's like pre-recorded, this program was pre-recorded, well of course it was pre-recorded, when else you gonna record it, afterwards? That's the whole purpose of recording, to do it beforehand! Otherwise it doesn't really work does it? Pre-existing, pre-planning, pre-screening, you know what I tell these people? PRE-SUCK MY GENITAL SITUATION! And they seem to understand what I'm talking about.... "

I'm fairly sure that each state's department of health has the list of licensed daycare providers....seeing as how they have to be licensed through the state.

Oh god, I took a sociology class on globalization. That word, glocalization, grobal, and grobalization were all used! I don't even remember what they all supposedly mean!

that's coontastic

Burr: place the turkey in a preheated oven.... it's ridiculous... there are only two states an oven can possibly exist in, heated or unheated....

I love me some Carlin, but the reason people say "preheat the oven" is so that you don't put frozen food in the oven, and then turn it on- since it takes a while for an oven to heat, the food cooks improperly if the oven isn't already at "bake" temperature when the food is place inside.

You could say "heat the oven before beginning cooking process" but "preheat" is much easier to say.

That's really funny. Thank you for that.

40K: complex rules for simple gameplay

Warmachine/Hordes: simple rules for complex gameplay

CSB: There was a great GW store front here years ago. Well lit, busy, lots of friendly people of various ages and gender, roomy. Always enjoyed going in there. They shut it down and moved it into a strip mall. I don't think they washed the dinge off the windows. It's musty, always damp and chill and populated by stereotypical gaming nerds, the kind that come in body type stick, round and gelatinously greasy. They all look up at you suspiciously when you come in and act like selling you something is a boon you don't deserve. I went in twice, and the second time I made sure my son held my hand and was behind me every time I spoke to the employees.

The angry comic guy who runs the store that is marginally less dingy and isn't musty (his mom works there as well so, I guess that's a benefit) explained that GW farked over all the independent stores and used their demographics to site new store fronts for the most profit, basically pulling a wal-mart. There was a lot more to it but I was trying to figure out how to extricate myself from the situation for asking "Where'd the 40k stuff go" and most of my attention was dedicated to mapping out exit points.

These are more reasons I have retreated from supporting local shops to purchasing things online.

If someone says mompreneur, I get to do mompiñata.

local momoreneur in my neighborhood just started a 'company' offering her expert social media skills to promote small businesses. The prices went to something like $1400 a month! Cant say anything to her, but wow. Either she has a lot of rich friends who like giving her money or shes never going to get a single customer.

I read the word in the headline and I couldn't believe it, so I said "Mompreneur?" out loud and then I punched myself right in the face.

Do they order extra anchovies with their social media?

Ooooo! Are we playing Punchies?

This whole trend of motherhood-enhanced statuses is retarded. Momma grizzly? Mompreneur? Mommy-blogger?

Why does western society give special accord to women who, in addition to hatching and raising offspring, actually have a life and purpose that's unrelated to their genitalia? Is getting knocked up and taking your rotten crotchfruit to term so farking unbelievable that women who are capable of doing more than that are considered high achievers?

Am I the only one who considers furthering the species to be a: preprogrammed, b: expected, and c: nothing special?

An femterprising mompreneur can become a she-EO of her own wompany.

The subby's broken, bruised body was found at the bottom of the thread. Said the policemen, "We didn't think you could punch someone through a monitor, but somehow someone clever over at Fark figured it out."

Drew Curtis commented that it was a technology Fark had just rolled out. He was hopping it would be useful in Boobies threads. After this incident, and on the advice of lawyers, the feature was disabled, "At least until the outcome of the investigation is clear." Curtis added, "We just got through defending ourselves against one major lawsuit here. We are hoping this doesn't lead to another."

This whole thread is a mompreneurgate.

/feel so dirty...

corn-bread: Heard this one the other day: Mamarazzi.

Yes.. came here to mention that one as well. Keep hearing it for Wolf/Ritz Camera commercials on Howard 100/101 on Sirius. Got a massive case of douche-chills when I first heard it.

/Mamarazzi, noun; Annoying Mom taking waaay too many pics of her brood with her newly-purchased DSLR

Oh, god - I know one. Bonus: she also narrates what's going on in the pic from the baby's POV. "Mommy and me went to the park today and I had sooooo much fun!" kind of shiat.

I love her, but she's gone round the bend. :/

Why yes, I would punch somebody for saying "Mompreneur".

Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays.

going forward
