Change to a Tag

[sid]

After reading this month_of_meta contribution from tree, I've decided to stop using the word "pimping". I've changed my tag to "plugging", and future posts may Announce, Plug, Point To, Tout, or Boost whatever squeeful fandom happening is happening.

Personally, although I'm well aware of the origins of the word, to me, as used by fandom, it's so entirely filled with joyous connotations that it has never bothered me. And it won't bother me in the future when it appears on my reading page.

I'm just inviting you to read the meta and the comments, and decide for yourselves. :-)

I'm happy I found out how many people don't care for it. It's an easy enough thing for me to change.

I'm one who doesn't care. Words only have the power you assign to them. I refuse to give that particular word any of my power. However, I don't generally use it anyway and I don't really care who else uses it.

It's never going to bother me, and I've had a lot of fun using it. Wasn't minxy using it way back? Do I remember a hat? :-D
