    I'm going to cut straight to the point: I saw some wonderful XKCD comics (1, 2, 3) with the idea that by replacing some words with some other words, the entire internet can become a better place.

    I went a little bit of an extra mile and found a Firefox extension (no word yet on Chrome et al), which actually lets you do just that. You can replace words with other words to your liking. I already inputted everything in those three links, however with some small edits to some, like instead of Senator becoming Elf-Lord, is now Overlord; and instead if Google Glass becoming VirtualBoy, is now iEye. I'm also working on figuring out a way to non-manually hand that replacement list over to anyone who wants the easy way to getting those replaced words, so don't go ahead and type them all in so soon, when I can save you the effort.

    ~~~

    So what words would you (or will you, or did you already) replace with other words? Here's my ideas so far:

    Now -> Meow
    Facebook -> Lifeinvader
    Florida man -> FLORIDA-MAN!
    The UK -> Middle Earth
    Crime rate -> Wild Pokémon encounter rate
    Dollars - > Space Bucks

    I have a similar app for this on Google Chrome called Word Replacer II. I use it mainly for expanding abbreviations like "imo" to "in my opinion". I never thought of using it the way you are, but now that I saw this I might just do it too XD

    I vaguely remember there being this site that took a webpage and turned it into 'gangsta' speak. That was hella fun to do on april's fools last year, lemme tell ya.
