Apoopalypse

During an unusually voluminous defacation, the sensation that one's vital organs will be lost along with the fecal matter.

Jimmy scrawled a hurried last will and testament on the bathroom stall door, because he was shitting so fast and heavy that he thought surely this was the Apoopalypse.

Fantasy Apostrophe

The needless insertion of a silent apostrophe into a place, race or character name in a work of fantasy fiction. The fantasy apostrophe is intended to give mystique and gravitas to an otherwise stupid sounding made-up name. However, it is not always successful in this regard.

Tom - What you reading, Geoff?
Geoff - I've just started the G'dorf Trilogy
Tom - Any good?

Tom - Fantasy Apostrophe overload?

Apostrophe

Particularly useful piece of English punctuation for making yourself look stupid. You can do this in three main ways:
1. Putting an apostrophe in when it's completely unnecessary.
2. Leaving it out when it's needed.
3. Putting it in the wrong place.

1. My parent's have taken control of my life.
2. Mat was Daisys hero, til he started ignoring her.
3. I do'nt know how to use an apostrophe.

Apostrophe Atrocity

This term is similar to the apostrophe catastrophe, but it is reserved for the most revolting of apostrophe errors. Only a true abomination of a linguist would commit an apostrophe atrocity.

Examples of the apostrophe atrocity:

"Did yo'u do the home'work?"

"I do'nt think that its nece'ssary"

"O'h loo'k, its our Eng'lish teach'er"

"Why i's sh'e cryi'ng?

retard apostrophes

When people use ` instead of '. Very annoying because the correct quotes/apostrophe key can be easily found next to the fucking Enter key.

apostrophe

A punctuation mark often erroneously used to indicate "Beware of oncoming S!" as in "Apple's 3 for $2."

Mo Viele speculates on the origin of apostrophe abuse at her blog "fontidious":

the apostrophic epidemic

I often wonder who patient zero was.

I imagine that some lowly shopkeeper went out to paint “Bananas $3” on his sign, and was stricken with an uncontrollable urge to add an apostrophe. And soon his banana was the proud owner of $3. Not to be outdone, his rival down the street advertised “Banana’s 2 Dollar’s.” Then someone from the town full of affluent bananas went on a trip, carrying the contagion with him. “Train’s Departing Every 5 Minute’s.”

The pandemic had begun.
