Yyyyyyeah. Because this is what we need:
As part of the blogosphere for several years, we at The Chapeau Blog Awards notice ourselves constantly inventing words when we talk about the world of blogging.
For instance, “flogging”? That’s a phrase we coined that defines the action of flaming someone on your blog. “Noggers”? That’s the rare, suspicious and silly breed known as non-bloggers.
Because "blogging" is an act that separates us from the rest of humanity, whom we need to label as "Muggles" or something. And on top of that, we need a registry to keep track of who came up with what terms, so we can all give ourselves little merit badges for our creativity and flame each other—'scuse me, flog each other—over the inevitable absurdly petty disagreements:
Hello Brian,

Yeesh. I've been spammed by some bizarre ventures, but this one has got to take the cake.
