Unintentional Meanings

[akirlu]

If you feel the need to explain "I'm a famous blogger" on the front page of your web page is that irony, or insecurity, or what?

Probably the latter.

Is that like talking about how many hits your web site gets in your blog?

Irony.

Okay, now we're waiting on the "or what" votes...

Actually, I'm quite sure it's irony. The question is whether it's intentional or not.

[cluefairy-j.livejournal.com]

That was going to be my next question. Are they clueless?

[akirlu.livejournal.com]

You might say that. I couldn't possibly comment.

[bibliofile.livejournal.com]

Or what, certainly. (Or both.)

[akirlu.livejournal.com]

Ah, thank you for leaping into the Or What gap.

Well, I'm famous. But nobody knows it, so I'm constantly having to explain it to people.

Prezackly. And a terrible burthen it must be, too.

Maybe he/she meant "I'm an infamous flogger."

The power of vicious typos should never be discounted, I suppose.
