Verb Creation: Harlotize
August 7, 2007
If the Yarn Harlot can create verbs, so can I. I’ll see your Kinnearing and raise you one Harlotizing.
Harlotize
verb (harlotized, harlotizing)
1. The act of the Yarn Harlot linking to your blog.
2. The panic that grips a blogger when their blog stats go wild: She was so harlotized that she couldn’t even click the mouse without twitching.
3. When bloggers hide: She ran off to Alaska after she was harlotized.
4. The evil grin of the Harlot when she realizes that another blogger will face a mere 1,000,000th of the exposure that she deals with every day: She was harlotizing in glee at the thought of some blogger twitching behind the computer screen.
Here’s hoping that all the new visitors were so horrified by my irreverence that they returned to their nice normal lives unscathed. Nothin’ to see here …
except maybe a cute boy in his new Kenneth Cole suit ($20 down from $88 at Macy’s!!) that we bought for an upcoming family wedding. My boy in a suit! I’m beside myself with pride!
Now we have to convince him to wear real shoes. Maybe.

OMG. He’s so cute! I wanna put him in my pocket!
Real shoes are overrated. I vote flip flops!

Ahhhhhhhh! Soooo cute! Personally, I think he’d fit in with the 20-something crowd if he turned up to the wedding in a suit and flip flops…

Others beat me to it, but I gotta chime in: Little Man seems to be working the flip-flops with a suit look just fine. grin!
(Oh Em Gee! He really does look just like a wee little proto-man in that! You’re going to have to teach him about saying “No autographs please!” before you take him to this wedding!)

Yeah, I think he can pull off the flip flops in style. How about these? http://tinyurl.com/36jphx
Or sandals like this one –http://tinyurl.com/237rxl

Oh forget the shoes. Everyone knows that flip flops with Kenneth Cole is über-metro.

Hahaha!
One step at a time… first the suit, then the wingtips. 
(Or will Little Man turn out to have inherited his mamas’ taste for fancy footwear?…

I use “harlotted” for usage #1, it’s kind of like being slashdotted. =)

I saw a man on the train the other day in a suit and wearing flip flops … how odd I thought … but now I think it might be the “new style”. Way to go Little Man! You’re right in style with the big boys.
