The A-Z Of Blogs (Literally)

I was talking to a (female) friend the other day about blogging, and she said: "Blogs? Aren't they just men's diaries?" Now we've been down the 'men are all scum and a lot of men blog so blogs are anti-women' line of argument in the summer here at househusbandnot. So let's not revisit that one. But my friend's observation did get me thinking about what people think of blogs, and how one half of the world is blogging away, while the other half - and this is not a gender split by the way - are blissfully unaware of all the thousands and millions or words of blog bollox that are being made available to them every day.

Which got me thinking about the sell, and what an actual crap word 'blog' is, which got me thinking up another househusbandnot list, this time on different forms of blogs:

Aogs = blogs with lots of Greek classical references in them
Blogs = men's diaries
Clogs = completely pointless long blogs
Dogs = crap blogs, or porn sites pretending to be blogs
Eogs = blogs written by egotists (as if there are any other types)
Flogs = blogs with too many adverts all over them
Glogs = blogs written by people when they have had too much to drink
Hogs = blogs written by people who think they have all the answers to everything
IOGs = blogs written by people who use loads of acronyms but never explain what they are
Jogs = blogs that are so bad that they remind you that you have not cleaned the oven lately
Kogs = like Clogs but written by Danish people
Llogs = like Clogs and Klogs but written by Welsh people
Mogs = blogs whose sole purpose is to try and rewrite that Nick Hornby book about music in a slightly amended form
Nogs = blogs with food recipes on/in them
Ogs = blogs written by stupid people
Plogs = political blogs
Quogs = blogs that are too complicated to understand
Rogs = blogs written by people who genuinely believe that anyone could be interested in how much they love their girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband/child/dog/cat/alligator/right hand
Slogs = blogs which are probably really useful and have interesting stuff to say about how you can hook up your ipod with your mobile phone to send free text messages to the original members of The Band, but are really really boring
Togs = Johnny Boden's blog
Uogs = like Clogs and Klogs and Llogs but written by stoners
Vogs = vague blogs
Wogs = [think we'll leave that one out]
Xogs = porny blogs
Yogs = blogs about yoghurt, or misty weather
Zogs = blogs written by people who have not actually done the think they are writing about but are pretending that they have to: impress their girlfriends, please their wives, sounds clever/worldly/brave, get more hits etc. etc.

See you next week people hhn aka The Clogger
