Small pieces of a bowel movement that stubbornly refuse to vanish down the drain on the first flush of a toilet. Not to be confused with a floater or a sticktite. Blogies need not float, and they never stick to the side of the toilet. Victims of the initial backwash, blogies simply need a clear and unencumbered path to the drain, which is almost invariably effected with a second flush.

I had to keep my mother-in-law waiting in the hall while I attended to some unexpected blogies.

borgify

To forcefully subsume something into a larger system or whole, with blatant disregard for the individuality of the thing to be subsumed. Inspired by the Borg, a fictional civilization of cyborgs in the Star Trek universe who, although composed of billions of individual bodies and machines, share a single conciousness. The Borg assimilate other species and cultures, adapting their biological and technological distinctiveness to service the Borg, with the declaration that "resistance is futile."

When Gretchen read the memo from headquarters instructing all branch managers to begin using the new timekeeping system at the beginning of the new fiscal year, she knew her team would really resent another attempt to borgify operations.

Truism Blogging

(1) Blog posts that re-state the mind numbingly obvious as if it were original and insightful.

(2) Blog posts that rehash ideas within a given vein that have already circulated ad-nauseam, without adding significantly to them.

(3) Blog posts that put forward ideas so fluffy, feel-good or ambiguous that it is impossible to disagree with them, but they don't add value either.

Many personal development blogs are mostly a compilation of "wisdom" found on refrigerator magnets. We can all agree for instance, that "it's important to be yourself", except when it's more expedient not to be. This is truism blogging.
