"High as Fuck" Stupid Ass Shit - Anna Kendrick, Sarah Silverman

Somehow, I missed "High as Fuck" as being the newwww kewwwwwl terrrm among dewwwwds and laydeeeeees who have laydeeee parts.

Just when it seems the English language can't get any more dumbed down (or outright ignored by immigrants) up comes a new insult.

"High as Fuck." Really? You can't think of anything more creative? It's "Stupid as Shit."

I don't watch the Emmy Awards...because I don't watch shit TV and pretend it's brilliant. It's the same self-centered actors, the same pretentious writers, and the same incompetent directors (veering their camera from one face to another) whether it's CSI, or HBO, or CSI, or CSI, or CSI.

But I did happen to notice the news that Sarah Silverman, who has made a career out of girlishly uninhibited blabs about her joy of sex and drugs, won an award. And she had a "vape" pen with pot in it. And she gave some typically half-inane half-satiric ramble that made her seem...all together now..."HIGH AS FUCK."

And so that's what a non-entity I never heard of Tweeted:

I had no idea this was the brilliant catch-phrase du jour, but it's even the title of a forgettable song some dewwwwwd has recorded. And a more stupid face you won't find on a goat, living or dead. I'm sure some chicks think he's so sensitive about being...HIGH AS FUCK...

We're living in an age where stupid kiddie-words like GOOGLE and BING and EBAY are spoken like they are a religion. And they are. We're living in a time when some literal asshole squatting and acting like she's either shitting or desperate for sex like a rabid hyena, or fucking herself on a fire hydrant, is admired for "twerking."

Years ago when I was in college, the professors grumbled that the students were...DUMB. That each new class was DUMBER than the last...unable to read anything but comic books, uninterested in any film made in black and white, and totally clueless about anything that happened before 1964 (uh, "The Beatles" on the Sullivan show, prof??)

They were right. I'm far dumber than a student in 1920 or 1940 or 1960...a student that had to take Latin, and was expected to know the difference between Plato and Aristotle, and actually read "Madame Bovary" and knew how to pronounce Rodin.

Just why each generation has become dumber and dumber, I'm not sure. But I think it has something to do with how easy it is to spend one's time...HIGH AS FUCK.
