mix my arse

be it recorded:

the phrase "wintry mix" is hereby on miss e's blacklist and will no longer be used in this blog.

although miss e is quite certain she has not yet used "wintry mix" except in the context of blacklisting the phrase.


the phrase shall be blacklisted for the following reasons:

• it is too general a way to describe the coming weather;


• it is used way too often by meteorological professionals, as before the last cold spell residents of SmallCity USA were warned of a coming "wintry mix";


• the obvious fact that the adjective "wintry," in the case it actually IS an adjective, has heretofore been known to appear only with the word "mix" appended and therefore has no other use in the English language as an adjective.

the exception shall hereby be noted that "wintry mix" may only be used in the context of criticism or of explaining its blacklisting; it shall NEVER be used as a real word.

that is all.
