What in hell? - Post a comment

Apr. 14th, 2009 03:35 pm I may be on to something

Or I may have done something horrible.

It's a new word: "Weblish", which means to publish online, usually in an official or paid capacity. As in "Hey, McSweeney's finally weblished my SotW profile!", or "Sally writes a lot of slash. Most of it just goes on fetish sites, but her Batman/Jack Shepard story got weblished on the Wall Street Journal site."

So it's kind of useful, as a contraction for online published, which will become more useful as time goes on. It's a portmanteau, which I generally like but I know some people hate them. It's also kind of horrible. I made it up, but I also think I hate it. So I'm putting it to a vote.
