Peeve-iful

Know what I hate? When people try to combine words that don’t go together to promote something.

For example, nail salons called Nailsations. Or Raleigh’s Buzztival, which celebrates local NC honey. I can deal with Scent-sations for your fragrance business, or even Festifall, for your fête to all things autumn. Eat your egg-cellent eggs.

But Subway, right now, is promoting ANYtober, a month during which you can get any foot-long sandwich for $5. That’s some bullshit. Rocktober, yes. ANYtober? Seriously?

Anything with the suffix -tastic that doesn’t rhyme with fan: off limits. Move-tastic, Heel-tastic, Frog-tastic, you’re all out. The only exception is my friend’s weight-lifting shoes, which she had embroidered to say Snatchtastic. That’s hilarious.

  1. i agree that ANYtober is an awful way to promote $5 footlongs. i did, however, eat a footlong turkey on wheat yesterday, and it was quite yum-tastic!

  2. Last place I got my hair cut? Atmosp’hair. I mean, technically it follows the rules, but it still ain’t right.
