Marplot

A Spoilsport. A Killjoy. A Buzzkill.

"We were having a great time watching the Vikings-Packers game, but then Bob had to be a complete marplot by complaining about how Brett Favre has no accuracy left with the long ball."

  1. Fool-fool ras-clot marplot. That's Jamaican slang for a Regency killjoy. No, I'm not working on a Jamaican novel, just reading one. But this blog rocks! Thank you Michael and Francis Grose!

  2. I prefer to be referred to as "Francis Grose, Esquire" by commonfolk, though I do HUMBLY condescend to accept your APPROVAL. I should also like to draw the attention of young master Michael to what I regard as a most QUESTIONABLE employment of the word "epitome" in his masthead, such as one would only encounter in the company of BRIGANDS or loose women. I entreat him to remedy the situation.

    FURTHERMORE the accuracy of the BALLS of FAVRE shall not be challenged even in jest.

  3. A well-remarked commendation of prosperous interrogation, sir. Yet let it be known that all BRIGANDS believe in FAVRE most concurrently in the chambers of the heart, and see not the FESTOONING of postulation as example of EPITOME to be a down-speak of his good nayme, but a PRAISE. To miss SAMARASAN, your praises are most CONVEYED and in APPRECIATION to the Deities of Frickative; we shall continue on with the phases of the sun.
