a minority use
It’s been a long while since I’ve posted, and it may be a long while before I post again, but I feel it is my duty as the proprietor of infobong.com to voice my disapproval of today’s Supreme Court ruling that the word “bong” does not have First Amendment protection. While David Beaver over at Language Log contends that “bong” is not slang for a particular kind of marijuana paraphenalia, I would contend that the word bong doesn’t necessarily imply marijuana use. A beer bong is a device for consuming large amounts of beer in a short time, a vodka bong is presumably for quickly consuming vodka, and infobong fails in its goal to be a way of consuming information quickly.
Hopefully a new president will take over in 2009 and appoint justices who will reverse this ruling.
