rablo
rablo - a blogger for whom one run-on sentence makes up a whole paragraph. This sentence is also often punctuated with, oftentimes inappropriate parentheses, as well as misguided use of commas, colons, and semi-colons. Furthermore, the sentence usually also contains problems with basic spelling and grammar, and unfortunate rablo-invented words.
An experienced rablo can fool the reader into thinking that in fact she writes well, while the truth is that she so abuses the language that the grammar and syntax police should be contacted immediately. Rabloism can be contagious and lead to pointless drivel on several sites.
obvkhol
obvkhol - the leftover drops of red wine, almost condensed to a resin of sorts, one discovers in the glass left precariously teetering on the arm of the couch the night before.
