Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

"Hippies", "Hipsters". There are a few ere who appear to have some aversion to "Hips" of various kinds. Ischophbiacs, as it were.

Perhaps a help program for ourt Ischophobiacs might be in order. Expose our poor beknighted ischophobic souls to non-threatening "Hips", beginning perhpas with Rose Hip tea. Then these unfortunate folk can rest under a hip roof for a while. Eventually we can work up to Hula dancing, which is really quite simple; One puts a crop of grass on the right hip, another on the left hip, and then proceeds to rotate the crops. Compassion, effort, and care can, I think, cure our unfortunate Ischophobiacs of their malady.

Ischophobia???
That is a word, right?

Though I do know that many hippies are hydrophobic as well as ablutophobic.

Hip hip hooray....the cure must be fast though, these poor old embittered Ischophobes must be about due for hip replacements....

Though, without these old Iso, Ichso, whatevers, we wouldn't have all the great bands like we have in the Hall of Fame. (Which, I'm told, has a pretty lame set up, but anyway...)

I have no idea what "ischo" in Ischophobia is referring to in relation to "hips". Ischo in medical terms is restraint or suppression. However a fear of being restrained would be Merinthophobia. Excessive dislike of a body part is Dysmorphophobia but usually that refers to ones own body. So...I'm lost.

 

[HoosierDaddy]

I just don't really care. What kind of phobia is that..?

My guess is it's the fear of getting hippie smell on you.

"Ischio" (ισχίο) literally means "hip" in modern greek. Just a (more or less) comic portmanteau.

Which bands? The Coon-Saunders Nighthawks? Ben Pollack and his Park Central Orchestra? The Cliquot Cub Eskimos?

Of which "hall of fame" do you speak?

RABID HIPPIES?!!!:eeek:

Oh, I always forget the most important bits.

"Rock & Roll" Hall of "Fame"
Y'know, the one that forgets the best bands & honors the worst. So I'm told.

Ah. I was missing the second "i" in the word. I do that sometimes. Thanks for the explanation!

 

[vitanola]

So was I. Love that "edit" function!

Usually it's the autocorrect that gets me. As it turns out if you misspell something often enough it will learn to spell a word the wrong way for you.

...Besides which, after setting one's grass skirts alight what would one do for an encore?

Assuming the lady who was formerly wearing said skirt didn't get burned in the process, I can think of a few things...

The most intelligent and utilitarian comment so far. :rofl:

You might want to rethink the hula bit. I mean, they'd just try to smoke one anothers skirts...

:eusa_clap
To answer the question earlier, about why the dislike for hippies...it's just something that was latched on to a week or so ago. Excessive posting can be that way sometimes.
We can easily talk about hipsters wearing wrinkled shirts, faded out jeans, tennis shoes, and a fedora or a hat similar to one. Adding a tie does not make the hat work, sorry.

I can Hula and Tahitian dance. I took lessons.

Pictures or it didn't happen.

And if your skirt was lit on fire, we don't need to know that.
That hula dancer is hot, no I mean she's hot, put her out!

Seconded!!!
