no means no
while we’re on this tangent, let’s remember no means no. ya? i actually didn’t know how obscure they were as my teen years were spent in a small town canadian bubble. i held them in the same regard as the dead kennedy’s, and kmfdm. luvs. oh my goodness, nostalgia over machine, when do we learn our lessons? by kl
fugazi is for fake
no, not the f-ing amazing orson wells film ‘f is for fake’ exposed in an enlightening session with dd back in the day. but the definition.
according to my wiktionary…
Etymology
From Italian slang fugazi (“fake”); perhaps also slang version of fugacious derived from Latin fugac-, stem of fugāx (“ready to flee, flying”), hence, fleeting, transitory.
[edit] Adjective
fugazi (not generally comparable; )
- (slang) Artificial, fake, false. Can be in reference to a thing or a person. If a person it is usually in reference to a superficial person.
- (slang) Something that has no substance.

word trends as of late
we can’t deny that the creation of imagery, whether for industry or expression, runs in trends. our choice of what we think looks nice is generally somewhat dictated by what we’ve been exposed to, and our particular personal experience with it (hence the power of nostalgia, but that’s a whole other spew of ramblings). i think the same is true with language, basically the words we choose, and what we think sounds cool. this not only communicates the specific, but indicates a vibe on a larger more hazy scale. i haven’t been reading enough contemporary lit, magazines, or even habitually following new bands to be any sort of authority, but here’s my quick list of simple, trendy words from the past year…
ritual
cyote
magic
plethora
moon
jasmine
holy
altar
dream
teenage
passage
esoteric
lover
irreverent
meadow
smokey
judgment
golden
cowboy
