Therfore meaning that “ill” has a definiton as well let me help you again… it is the right and responsibility of the modern human to keep re-evaluating language, to give dead words innovative contemporary meanings or to simply invent new ones, in order to be more appealing and representative to the speaker/listener (which was essentially the basis behind language anyway, to understandably… human language has been in a state of constant reinvention for centuries, and slang has been used and created by poets and writers of all sorts (William Shakespeare has been credited for the upbringing of at least a couple of words). The use of slang is frequently ridiculed by culturally-ignorant people who feel it is the product of insufficient education and believe it to be counter-evolutionary of course, they couldn’t be farther from the truth. slang can be born from any number of situations or ideas (the word slang itself has come to represent selling, especially of illegal drugs), and can be blunt or riddled with metaphor, and often quite profound. cool) and some will only last a few years before being rendered obsolete or outdated (i.e. some modern slang has endured over the decades since its inception (i.e. Slang- slang is the continual and ever-changing use and definition of words in informal conversation, often using references as a means of comparison or showing likeness. “ill” happens to be “slnag” do you know what “SLANG” IS? let me help you out… This is one of the most pointless articles EVER TO BE WRITTEN! your just mad your an old fart & your hating on a younger generation.
We are in the midst of a pennant/wild card race (with half our damn team on the DL) and this is what passes as an important discussion. Instead of worrying about what kind of Phillies shirt people are wearing at the games, perhaps we should be more concerned about cheering on our team.
#Phillies gay pride hat full
As for the copyright infringement, was this your first time at the shore? I mean seriously almost every single boardwalk store is riddled full of items that are infringing on copyrights (the urinating Calvin comes to mind). I understand the red/white/blue ILL shirts, but all of the other color combos are bordering on ridiculous. The only element of this article that I agree with is that it has rapidly spiraled out of control. Are they in everyone’s taste….NO, but does that mean that only A-Holes wear them? I am a life long Phillies fan (in his 30s) and though I do not have any ILL merchandise, I do think that it is clever. Its nice to see all the “real” Phillies faithful trashing the people wearing these shirts. I frequent this site and have never felt the urge to post until now. An MLB spokesperson told us they are "aware of the t-shirts, and are addressing the situation." Most of these shirts aren't licensed, yet they are clearly using the Phillies font and likeness. Not only has it gotten out of control, it may also be ingfringing on trademarks. The boardwalk is a great place to find out the latest douchy trend in clothing, and sadly, this one is taking over the Philly sports scene. Even the trendy Spot (a great place for trendy Phillies gear) is featuring the awful shirts. One retailer told us the shirts are selling like crazy. Why must we choose the most awful abbreviation of "Phillies?" Why not "Phil", or I know, I'm going to make my own shirt: "LIES!" It celebrates the unceremonious departure of Clifton Phifer Lee.Īs if that's not bad enough, the style is being adopted for the Flyers and Eagles too. I originally thought it was just reserved for a few bandwagon hopping fans, who wanted to revel in the pure obnoxiousity of new fandom, then I took a stroll on Ocean City's boardwalk.Įvery store, up and down, nothing but "ill" shirts. Every clothing designer around is trying to capitalize on this abortion of a t-shirt. You can't walk 15 feet at a Phillies game without seeing an oversized sweat-stained version of the shirt.
