Blawg, blawg, blawg

Mark Liberman doesn't like the word "blawg." Denise Howell, who coined it, responds charmingly, and even manages to work in her phrase "doorknob spam."

Meanwhile, in the Arrested Development we watched last night, there was a reference to Bob Loblaw's law blog. (Bob Loblaw is just such a good name, but only if you say it aloud.) [Tags: blawg deniseHowell arrestedDevelopment bobLoblaw markLiberman law blogs language doorknob spam]

Bob Loblaw is just such a good name, but only if you say it aloud.

Only in an American accent (my natural pronunciation of 'Bob' is more or less Rowan Atkinson's). But it was worth the effort.

Thanks David. Just learned the, or anyway "a," Bob Loblaw blog actually exists!
