January 7, 2000 SLAYER SLANG. This article in Verbatim (a language quarterly) about Buffyspeak ("interesting, not only lexically, but morphosyntactically") gives me a happy. KELIS. Her single "Caught Out There" makes Alanis sound like Barney. If you feel this way, let her say it so you don't have to. OTHER PERSONS OF [LAST] YEAR. Dianne Lynch lists the [other] women of the web who are "creating communities, challenging the status quo and making the wired world a better place to live," all without standing to lose $350 billion. (Hey, BG loves Amazon. We just want to give you Earth's bigger selection.) JOURNEYWOMAN. The web's premier "Let's Go! Even Without a Boy!" Guide. Guys, no fair using this to "find out where the babes are." COUPLE OF THE MILLENNIUM? Besides Breakup Girl and Man-Guy? (Yes, we broke up, but it still counts!) Rocky and Adrienne -- not to mention -- Shirley and Carmine, or Sposa Magazine's choice of Marge and Homer -- are certainly worth lots of votes; so, I'm sure, are lots of couples in, like, history. But I have to concur with E! Online's poll results: Miss Piggy and Kermit. I just wish I could use, on my big day, the line that made theirs legit (which one of the movies was it?): "Because you have a love so big ... / I now pronounce you frog and pig." BEN AND JERRY HAVE TWO MOMMIES. Chubby Hubby, Breakup Dog's birthplace, and enough good designer outlet shopping on a three-day ski trip to turn Breakup Girl into Mrs. Howell: they're not the only cool things about Vermont whose state supreme court just ruled that gay couples have the same rights as married ones. I know I'm late with this one (happened at the end of December), but hey, not bad for the 1900s.
