Neologize or die!
The Sheriff and I have discovered that all of postmodern discourse can be reduced to one defining factor: the pluralization of abstract nouns or adjectives in order to sound aloof and analytic. We present as examples:
Logics
Poetries
Publics
Musics
Global feminisms (any "-ism" is just so damn good)
Justices
Courages
Hip-hops
Everyone's favorite, knowledges
Feminomena
Nepotiblogocracies
You get the idea. In celebration of vacuity (vacuities?), we propose "Wash Av Huffy Crew Contest #87: Neologize for New Knowledges." Give us your best pluralized term, preferably within the context of a mock journal title, e.g.: "The (re)hypostatization of Barney Fife?: Towards a new taxonomy of courages and the hermeneutics of panopticism in the 'Andy Griffith Show.'" We include here for your pleasure a really fucking weird picture of Michel Foucault.

"The Educations of Henry Adams: Disraeli, Palmerston, and the Last Great Age of American Diplomacy in England, 1861-1867"
"The eigth dandyism of Olafur Pont-Peigneaux: Foppisms, bragadoccio, and minor fartings in the poetics of Francophone-Finnish bachelor farmer communard-agrarianisms"
It should be noted that the hebrew letters in the foucault picture spell out his name phonetically: fu-ko.
Deleuze on the early days of his philosophical career:
"What got me by during that period was conceiving of the history of philosophy as a kind of ass-fuck, or, what amounts to the same thing, an immaculate conception. I imagined myself approaching an author from behind and giving him a child that would indeed be his but would nonetheless be monstrous."
The footsteps we follow in.
I eschew Deleuze's philosophical buggery for a more playful nipple tweak. It is my great hope that someday scholars will refer to "Scantronian purplenurpleism."

Dailyshowisms

Touche, Hippie killer, but your efforts to negate me have proven their own failure, as you obviously had to read my post in order to attempt to take me down. I however will mock you without deigning to read you!

Speaking of neologisms, here's what writing about Matthew Barney does to one's sense of acceptable diction:
"What is a “hemorrhoidal distractor?” In DELAY OF GAME and RADIAL DRILL, the “distractor” is a candy-red skeet, used in shotgun shooting (another metaphor for ejaculation?) as the moving target. During one scene in RADIAL DRILL, the skeet comes flying out of nowhere to crash against Barney’s reared rear end, shattering at the precise moment at which a saltwater pearl is pulled by a string from his anus."
Strangely enough, the most out of place bit I can pick out is "flying out of nowhere"
