Denied

scarjoobama.jpgDenied: (Verb) To reject someone in the most humiliating, public way possible.

My faith in Barack Obama has been restored after the presidential candidate went public in dismissing Scarlett Johansson's claims that the two were email BFFs.

Obama told reporters Tuesday that "she sent one email to [my assistant] Reggie [Love], who forwarded it to me. "I [wrote] saying, 'Thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,' and suddenly we have this email relationship," he explained. (Source)

Since ol' Tits McLispicuddy probably never had the opportunity to date out of her league, I guess the nuances of "kiss and tell" were lost on her. When I was fifteen, I was talking to this totally gorgeous popular guy for a hot minute (who we'll call "Dick" as it's both a person's name and an insult) after he told my friend he liked me and got my phone number. All we did was talk in the hallway between classes, but one day this bitch in my art class caught us holding hands, and was all, "Oooh, are you and Dick going out?" And I was all, "I don't know, I guess." So she went back to him and was all, "Stacey told me she's your girlfriend" and he was like "NO SHE'S NOT!" And he never spoke to me again. A month later, he transferred to a private school; and a couple summers later I was working at the local swimming pool snack bar, and he wound up being a lifeguard there and pretended he didn't know me for the entire summer.

Looking back, that was pretty embarrassing. But that was just some douchehunk with smoldering eyes who's probably balding by now, not the next President of the United fucking States. But hey Scar: on the bright side, soul crushing shame and humiliation is character building!

scarlet and you got danny zuckoed!

p.s. you have my permission to add "danny zuckoed" - or however it should be spelled (zucko'd?) - to this dictionary.

Wow, what an awesome president he'll be! At once in tune with and above that which captures the American psyche the most: buxom blondes. My word, what a cool guy. Just like...

Oh. Shit. Just like JFK. Someone convince him to drop out of the running, asap, before he gets magic-bulleted in the face.

You can bet he's tappin' that skanky white ass.

"Denied" is an adjective, not a verb.


Go! said:

Denied can be both an adjective and a verb, depends on how you use it. In this case, she was denied is part of the verb compound. Not sure if it's meant to be an adjective, but grammar was a long time ago for me. I'm also tired as all hell and don't give a damn about ScarJo's vain attempts at being "political".

Yeah, ScarJo still hasn't tried to date out of her league - one more sign of Obama's fake everymanhood.


AW said:

Actually, even assuming Stacey means it in the sense that "Scarlett Johansson was denied" then it IS being used as a predicate adjective. There is not such thing as a verb compound. But to cloud the issue even more Stacey has defined the word as a verb using the infinitive form (the simplest form, often preceded by "to"), so technically she should have either said "Deny: (Verb) To reject someone in the most humiliating, public way possible" or "Denied: (Adjective) rejected in the most humiliating, public way possible." And yes, I am an English teacher.

You guys should hire me to proofread this site. You don't have to be Webster's bitch but you could look some shit up once in a while.

Guys, honestly? The most helpful suggestion out of all these comments is that I do an entry on "douchehunk." (Fantastic idea, isabelle!)

We try to be as correct as we can when defining these words, but sometimes we also make up the words. And the definitions. So while I appreciate the grammar lesson, the thing to keep in mind at the end of the day is that we do this for entertainment purposes -- not as a viable tool in which to teach your English class.

Having said that, if I write something really stupid, still make sure and let me know. ;)
