I see that Sandra, RPM, Joan and Coturnix have weighed in on the overuse of "ome" in today's system's favoured biology, so I thought it was a good time to represent a piece that was previously published at the SCQ.
This one is called: "Like 'Omic God" and includes the great:
d'oh-ome: every mistake you ever made. (Don't tell me you didn't see this one coming.)
Of course, I'd like to add a few of my own here. These would be:
couldn'tgivearat'sass-ome: this is the sum of all things that are basically trivial and unnecessary. Data may vary from person to person.
didn'tmakethecutatboingboingdiggslashdotandthelike-ome: collective term for all of those blog posts you thought for sure, couldn't miss, but attract attention from the web community but ultimately didn't.
hotair-ome: Truly, a convergent term for all of the breath wasted spouting various trivia, agendas, or crap, with the addition of current and projected CO2 submissions. Really folks - that's twice the fear factor.
procastinat-ome: sum of all the time you've spent procastinating. Probably bigger and more convoluted than you'd think, and something I'm contributing to right now.
irony-ome: We writers love this one. The sum of all ironic things, which now includes this post, since it sort of fits into all of the aforementioned 'ome' definitions.
All I can say is: Ome I!
There needs to be a science of people named John: Johnomics.
