Ginormous

According to CNN, the word "ginormous" was just added to the new edition of the Merriam-Webster collegiate dictionary. Normally, I would applaud such a decision, but I have to admit that this particular one came as quite a shock to me. I mean seriously, ginormous wasn't a word before now? AND no one ever corrected me when I used it (and I used it a lot). I mean, sure, we all knew "crunk" was made up and "smackdown" was a stupid fake wrestling thing, but "ginormous"? That's a whole nother story. This is absolutely ridonkulous.

If you're gonna dance, dance it right

Apparently, the man best known for his "invention," the electric slide is pissed and on the prowl. Ric Silver, inventor of the Electric Slide to the extent that you can invent a cheesy line dance that is similar to several other cheesy line dances, says that the dance is actually a 22 step dance, however, recently while visiting several bar mitzvahs and weddings (probably as a spy) he noticed that most people were only doing 18 steps! I know, it sounds crazy, but NPR has never lied to me before. Anyway, this guy is UP-SET and ready to sue. So, if you're at an awkward social event where group dancing is encouraged, remember, it's:

• 1-4 Grapevine right (tap and clap on 4)
• 5-8 Grapevine left (tap and clap on 8)
• 9-12 Walks back (tap and clap on 12)
• 13-16 Rock forward & back:
  • 13: Left forward
  • 14: Tap right toe at the left heel, clap
  • 15: Right backward
  • 16: Tap left toe at the right heel, snap
• 17-20 Repeat 13-16
• 21 Left forward with 1/4 turn left
• 22 Hop onto left foot
