Sinistrosphere, Dextrosphere, The Chosen, and the Birth of the Curmudgeosphere
From World Wide Words:
SINISTROSPHERE This has started to appear online as a
disparaging
collective term for bloggers with left-wing political
affiliations.
Its opposite is the dextrosphere, a sweeter-sounding
and much less
sinister term. Both words are based on "blogosphere",
a collective
term for the whole blogging environment.
Hmmm...so left-wing politically affiliated bloggers are evil...Sinistrosphere.
Of course, this means that the right-wing blogosphere are the "Chosen Ones."
Uh huh...yeah...right.
The dextrosphere are obviously the saccharine crap that you run into in way too many places out here in the blogosphere.
Now, what would that make me. Let's see...Curmudgeon plus ...osphere...hmmm
