"Nottie" Usage in Everyday Life

February 29, 2008

A huge part of why pop culture obsession is so fun and addictive is reclaiming its catchphrases, re-purposing them for you and your friends, and basically overusing them until they're dead. We all know a guy who says, "Seacrest out!" before hanging up his cell phone, or a girl who calls everything "Maaaayjah!" in a Posh Beckham fashion, or someone else who can't stop saying, "Honest to blog!" ad nauseum. In my crew, for instance, we talk like Lolcats when on AIM, (i.e., "O hai, Mindy! Do you has plans 4 tonite?") The list goes on infinitely.

So, with that introduction, I'd like to reveal to you, dear readers, my newest catchphrase to use and abuse. It's inspired by Paris Hilton's tour de force film, The Hottie and the Nottie. Since its inception, I've taken to playing a game I like to call "Hottie/Nottie" while watching TV. It's where you deem anyone who comes on screen as either a "Hottie" or a "Nottie." It's a really mature and fun game. Recently, this has branched out into other parts of my life. When asked for my review of the movie In Bruges, (which was actually great,) all I could muster was, "Very few notties!" So, yes, I'm sick, I know this, but is anyone else addicted to this phrase? Or a better one so I can move on with my life? Leave your suggestions below!

-Mindy M.

Editor's note: I don't recommend playing "Hottie/Nottie" with either Lost or Cops, as the former contains almost nothing but "Hotties" and the latter contains almost nothing but "Notties." I found this out the hard way. The game is a lot more fun when there's variety. Ok, Seacrest out!
