The Word

Hello!

For those of you who do not know what "The Word" is: "The Word" is a comedy skit that is performed by Robert Colbert on the Colbert Report that airs on Comedy Central. Basically, it is a recurring segment during which Colbert chooses a word or phrase as a theme for a rant on a topical subject or news item while messages displayed in a sidebar either highlight or sarcastically undercut what he is saying.

So, in the spirit of Colbert's "The Word", I shall choose a word to talk about and since this is the very first posting of this blog, it shall be....interesting.

And the Word is....



Bitch slap.

Yes that's right, bitch slap. What is the first thing that you think of when you read/hear that word? Well, according to urbandictionary.com it means:

1. To slap someone (particularly but not necessarily female) who is being rude or nasty, perhaps screaming a lot (i.e., being a bitch). The idea is to get them to calm down and behave. It does not necessarily mean you really hit the person; there is such a thing as a verbal bitch slap.

2. The literal and/or metaphoric slapping or whacking someone in order to knock some sense into them.

3. A slap administered by a pimp to his prostitute to keep her in line or punish her.

And the list goes on and on. But for me, the word "Bitch slap" has only one point of reference. The Movie.

Yes, there is a movie called Bitch Slap. It was an independent directed by Rick Jacobson and the screenplay was written by Eric Grundemann and Rick Jacobson. It was released to the public on January 8, 2010 and earned $17, 365 Domestic and $182, 071 Foreign.

Basically it is a movie for guys that love girls. And I mean really love girls, especially girl on girl action and are willing to sacrifice plot line, acting, and special affects to watch said action. Not exactly my cup of tea.

With that said, it was very artistically done since there was no obvious nudity (and there were several sex scenes) and there were several twists in the exceptionally thin plot that can be considered as refreshing as a glass of brine in the middle of the Mojave Desert.

So, if you ever have a night where life is just getting a little bit too much to bear, or if you want to watch a movie with your friends that you can forever reference as "the worst movie we have ever seen," look up Bitch Slap.

Peace!
