The Dord of Darien

Musings from the Mayor of the Internet

Whoever’s calling the NLCS

Just said "the crowd continues to be apopleptic."

First off: that word does not have quite so many instances of the letter P as you seem to think it does. Apoplectic, gang.

Second off: that word does not mean what you think it means. This is Philadelphia and the Phillies are winning by a huge amount. The crowd is not "apoplectic," which means angry. Neither is the crowd "apopleptic," which means nothing. Do you see?

Third off: Just say "crazy." Longer words aren’t necessarily better words.

You’re out.
