bluff

Contraction of 'BL'og and fl'UFF'.

A weblog filled with nonesense or discussing circumstances that are so very specific that nobody could ever benefit from reading the weblog.

Can refer to whole blog sites or to specific blog posts.

Informative: "The blog entry was exactly as Jane said, just bluff with no real value".

Sarcastic: "More bluff, as if there ever was something useful in what they post in this blogsite".

Website feedback forms that only allow one sided feedback, often allowing little or no free-form comments.

I went to give the lousy site some constructive feedback, but they only wanted formwhoring responses. Look at the page:

Microsoftian

A 'Microsoftian' view is one that only supports what is already desired; disingenuous and pretentious at the same time.

Can be applied outside Microsoft discussions.

Slang, offensive.

See also 'formwhoring'.

"Please select which program you use for office documents:
A Microsoft Office 2000
B Microsoft Office 97
C Microsoft Office Pro
D Microsoft ...
E Microsoft ...
F Microsoft ...
G Microsoft ..."

('Microsoftian' in that you can only choose 'Microsoft' from the list. This list does not allow users to select 'Star Office', 'Open Office', 'Applixware', etc., all of which are office software suites that are in current use but are also NOT Microsoft software.)

And

"He said he wanted Chinese take out, but his Microsoftian demeanor during discussions left us no choice but to get italian take-out."
