Kanani's Word of the week


HOODBURBIA -noun. A hood masquerading as a suburb that prides itself on being civil, but in reality, they're as close minded and foul-mouthed as anywhere else.

Ex: "In hoodburbia, they get very upset if you park your car in front of your house."
"Hoodburbians invite you to the block party and gossip about you while you're still there."
"Malibu is just another hoodburb."

Do not go gently into that dark burb. Buy your hoodburbia shirt, cap, mug, or hoodie here

This is a CRACK-UP! And so true!

I live in an area that kind of prides itself in being neat, somewhat liberal, and they like to think they're very accepting.

But really, if they were Republicans or Libertarians, I'd know how to deal with them. But these folks down here in OC are some sort of hybrid liberal and I can literally see them trying to figure out what the hell they believe in. In fact, I'd say that the most poorly formed identity is the OC liberal. There really is no such thing. Do they go with Fairness, acceptance, or... well... lean back on some pretty big hatreds not based on race necessarily, but their idea of what "class" is or isn't.

So they tend to harbor grudges for a very long time, gossip behind your back, and as we saw the other night, come screaming at you with a spear if they think your dog is out.

Really, we ought to have a HUGE party and shake things up a bit over here!

I could DEFINITELY help you to "shake things up a bit" and damn well willing to do it:-)

Wanna plan?
