Jargon

Just had an admissions day talk. I rattled through my material (sorry I spoke so fast folks, but there are a lot of words to get through) and then paused at the end to get my breath back and answer questions. I was asked what the difference is between a blog and a blag.

Blog: Internet based diary thing which is written by people with an internet connection and too much time on their hands. (I write two, go figure)

Blag: ask for (and hopefully get) something for free from someone richer than you.
