A Thought I Don't Like

My sinuses (Sinai?) have officially cast their vote in opposition to Oklahoma weather.  Perhaps the grumpiness imparted has caused me to realize my aversion to the word “blogroll,” which — in fact — is not really a word.

I think I dislike “blogroll” even more than “blogosphere,” as the former doesn’t signify anything at all.  To quote Vonnegut speaking of an unrelated topic (the semicolon, in fact), it is a “transvestite hermaphrodite.”  It is a term without a purpose, no better than “Links” or “Blogs I Read” or “Blogs with Authors I Wish Would Read My Blog.”
