Craving Uniformity

So, I have decided two things:
1. I have been inconsistent in my namecalling of the tech-o-dork.
2. He is likely to be worthy of mocking posts for at least the next two months.

Therefore...a poll!

[Poll #416078]

I feel the need to lobby for my response. "Asshat General," while amusing, does not define the individual appropriately in a way that would allow someone new to Mr. Asshat's escapades to understand who he is and why you hate him.

"Tech Dweeb" is far more descriptive. It identifies him as a) a technician and b)one who is not very good and therefore worthy of ridicule.

And it is more fun to say than "Techy-Twit."

Q.E.D.

I almost made a seperate suggestion of "Mr. Fucktard"...but I also figured that Tech Dweep was much more accurate and specific...

even though Mr. Fucktard is reeeeaaally fun to say...

In the spirit of lobbying, "dweeb" doesn't quite have the connotations as "doofus," so I suggested technodoofus.

Doofus: "An incompetent, foolish, or stupid person." (dictionary.com)

Sounds like this guy has all three going for him.

I like that one. Too bad I didn't read the comments before suggesting mine (techtard).

I unvote for mine, and vote for [livejournal.com profile] purplesquirrel's instead.

If "Asshat General" doesn't win, I'm going to cry.

While I think "Tech Dweeb" is more descriptive, I just couldn't pass up voting for "Asshat General." Wow, this is the second time today that I've seen the word "asshat" on LJ (check out the latest post from Cargill ). It's just been one of those kinds of days, I guess.
