Kanye said the word "bling" is soooo passe. Yo. So what happens to "BLING!"?

[Novaya Havoc]

I so LOL'd at this today, because my hella white Jersey straight male co-worker called my fab chica's necklace "bling bling" MINUTES before I read it:


"Only white people and older black people say 'bling' now. If a white person uses slang too early, then that makes them look like a wigger. But if black people use slang too late, then it makes them look like a wigger."

Then a PROFOUND question struck me, even while I'm still obsessed with Essential Dazzler (8/8/07) week: WHAT WILL MARVEL DO WITH BLING!??!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c0/Blingcomics.jpg

I mean, she was created by the whitest of white people, Peter Milligan. Bling! is soooo out, yo. What will befall poor Bling!? Her codename is as passe as her gratiutious exclamation point. :(

COMMENT!

[Tommy]

And here she had just changed it from Fo'Shizzle.

[Cayman]

She will become Flossy Flossy without skipping a beat.

[Faded]

LOL. Kanye West? Pleuze.

[Quarterwolf]

Can we just kill Kanye and keep bling? I like her much better.



Please?

[Beast]

Knowing Kyle & Yost, "Cannon Fodder" is more likely.

[Faded]

She will become Flossy Flossy without skipping a beat.

I henceforth decree Cayman judge when slang words are no longer hip!

[Novaya Havoc]

You have to admit though, Milligan is soooooooo white.

[Monty_Cristo]

if Bling is passe, then what is Dazzler? *runs away*

[Novaya Havoc]

if Bling is passe, then what is Dazzler? *runs away*

Uh, DAZZLING, duh. It's a real adjective! And you know BLING! would be all up in Dazz's disco ball necklace.

[CmX]

I always hated Bling! I dunno if it was her name or her extremely unappealing character. Probably both. She's fugg too.

[DDM]

if Bling is passe, then what is Dazzler? *runs away*

Dazzler is a name of Warren's uncle's code-name; Marvel used it for Alison Blaire to keep the copyright.

Dazzler is a noun. Bling is just terrible ghetto slang.

[Novaya Havoc]

Not truuuuue. Point me to your source. This only supports the theory that Angel's uncle was gay.

And BLING! isn't ghetto. When I graduated my high school, the whitest of white guys said we could get a "bling bling" tassel instead of the regular one, in which the year numbers on it were covered in rhinestones.

Well, errr, maybe it was kind of ghetto.

[Dagger]

It's ghetto slang that's been so overused that white people are now using it, much like jiggy, fo'shizzle, shawty and a bunch of other ghetto slang. Pretty soon sheisty and eh bay bay are going to be used by white people, and the black community is going to have to come up with new words for the white people to steal and sterilize:p

[Brian "Vash" Ashby]

How could Bling! be ghetto, really, with the poverty and what not....


Well, actually i know bling bling is written on the bottle of, i think, Blue Raspberry md 20/20


and thats a bum/ghetto wine.


Also Bling! suxorz teh b1g 1

[We R. Venom]

Bling is a horrible name for a character.

[Brian "Vash" Ashby]

I wonder if Bling got her name from MD 20/20

ALthough if she did, mad dog would have been a much cooler name

[ProfeZZor X]

Bling is a horrible name for a character.

So is Redneck and Big Bertha, but those characters exist.

mammomax and rubbermaid are good names. Bring those names back

[Novaya Havoc]

Happy, Vash? :p

[We R. Venom]

I just think that every character Milligan created should die. They are all annoying and a waste of ink.

[Brian "Vash" Ashby]

thats why i like longshot


look at that shit-eating grin. Always so chipper.

Granted i'd prefer him with Rogue to Dazzler, unquestionably. But he was fun


Also, i vaguely recall downloading that game or something...but i really dont remember

[HellFrost]

I have a feeling that I would have liked her character a hell of a lot more if her name wasn't "Bling!"

The "!" is the most annoying thing I've ever seen right next to the most annoying codename I've ever heard. It's like your being forced to say her name with extreme enthusiasm which btw I just cannot...

I think that "Marrow II" or "Shard II" or even "Bone" itself would have been a better codename...

[Hi-Fi]

Yeah, I remember Rogue and Longshot flirting.

Dodged a bullet there, sister!

In other news, I heart Bling!

[Pepsigirl]

Wait a minute, someone actually named a character Bling!? You know, a part of me is actually kind of glad I'm so far out of the X-loop, if someone actually decided that Bling was the best name they could come up with.

[Brian "Vash" Ashby]

Longshot's missing ring fingers are cooler than Bling!

[HellFrost]

I love the name Bling! (and the character)!!(exclamation point!)!!!!!!

I wish Milligan would've played on the ridiculousness of the codename, but its just as funny to see DDM use the word "ghetto".

Lolol totally.

I love Bling! too! I also love her real name. ROXANNE ROXY WASHINGTON!! I think she's much more realistic and mature than any of the New X-Men kids (in terms of her personality in the books, not the character written by so-and-so) and that's cool. I like that Whedon created Hisako (and Wing :<), Morrison with the Cuckoos (I think they're all that's left, aside from Beak), and Milligan with Bling and Onyxx (who can SERIOUSLY die) add to the core original cast of the book.

I doubt they'd use her as cannon fodder. I see Trance or Onyxx going out before Bling!

She doesn't need a new codename though. If mutants were real Kanye would looooove them. And probably be one of Roxy's "hip-hop mogul" parents.

[Brian "Vash" Ashby]

marvel time scale says bling has 2 more years to catch up and change her name.
maybe Ice, as in diamond not the drug, or at least something equally tragic.

come to think of it, i don't really like any of the non-new-xmen codenames.

foxx, bling, onyxx. armor, wing, there was more....

Love the character. hate that stupid name.

But Roxy Washington kicks my ass. The only shining moment in Peter Milligan's run.

[CJ Lentze]

...In analogy to 'b*tch' and 'beeyotch', I was thinking Bling! could change her name to 'Bleeyong!'.

I don't think Bling! is a b*tch, btw...

I vote she change her name to "Icies" ;)

I think she would have a hard time establishing herself as a unique heroine with a name like 'Icies' or 'Rocks', because there is already an Iceman and a Rockslide in the Institute.

rubbermaid is dead, and tanta might just go the way of mammox. elephant people sticking together and all

Don't steal my Spanish-infused memes. SHORTPACK WILL NEVER HAPPEN ACCEPT THIS SO WE CAN ALL MOVE ON TO GREATER THINGS (like Catholicism).

I ♥ this thread, because it reminds me of a purer time in CBR lore when I acted the same but everyone didn't transform into such heinous hildebeasts upon my precious person.

Bling! is still soooo passe. Kanye marked it as R.I.P. (or keeping with the Carey thing of bringing back old memes, maybe D.O.A.?) in 2007.

What will Carey bring back next? Snap bracelets?!?!

omg he should storm would be sofierce with an x-communicator snap bracelet.

¡Shortpack! has gone mexican to protest the illegal alien costumes. plus he's auditioning for the role of a jumping bean in the next Taco Bell commercial.

For upstaging a country singer. He should get a medal.

http://coursesite.uhcl.edu/SOE/Morgan/EDUC6033/Article4.pdf


The Ig Nobel award for medicine—one of the prizes given annually to scientists who have produced unusual research—was given this year to a team of researchers who had found that cities in which radio stations played a higher than average amount of country music had higher than average suicide rates.

The award went to Steven Stack of Wayne State University, Michigan, and James Gundlach of Auburn University, Alabama, for their report, The Effect of Country Music on Suicide. Dr Stack protested to the BMJ that it was unfair of Newsweek to call him and his colleague "academic coneheads."

"We had hard data showing that cities with higher than average country music radio market share had higher white suicide rates," he said. African-American suicide rates, he explained, were not affected by the country music market ( Social Forces 1992;71: 211-8[CrossRef]).

That being said, Kanye is a douche. I hope he gets a clue.

White folks, or should I say older white folks, soccer moms etc using that or any of our slang kills it and makes it look old and stupid and uncool. And they keep overusing it to DEATH. Nobody says fo shizzle and all that neither. Hell, E40 don't even say it no more and he invented it (sorry Snoop).

[Filthy Mutie]

The meteoric rise of Juvenile and B.G. signified the end of "bling".

I generally stay away from cutting-edge slang, since it seems pretentious for a guy like me to use it and the guys who generally do use it in Boston are Ed Hardy-wearing douchebags.

Late-80s and early-90s hip-hop slang is open for business, however.
