Teletubby?
Being fat at a distance?
Being fat on TV?
Can't say either definition makes it an acceptable 'art form'.
This doesn't go here, but someone just emailed it to me cos they know I'm sad:
A linguistics professor was lecturing to his English class one day. "In English," he said, "A double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
I love it! Somehow I can't believe in it, but I love it!
also I like teletubby...
“Television. No good will come of this device. The word is half Greek and half Latin”. - gutted for that man! really unfortunate.
also, u kno when u look at one word for ages, and it stops making sense? i totally got that with "tele" (i just realised this comment wud b perfect to analyse in 'language and technology')
also...i just had to make ANOTHER google account, cos i forgot my other password....yes, i know im whiney.
