bringing “macho” back
Posted By becky on November 9, 2009
The other day at work, while I was listening to my Madonna radio station on Pandora, Michael Jackson’s (ya know because he and Madonna were BFF’s) “Beat It” came on.
When we heard “don’t be a macho man “ it got Josh and I talking. No one uses the word “Macho” anymore. Seriously when was the last time you heard someone described as “Macho”?
For those of you that are awesome-70′s-Lingo impaired, Wikipedia describes “macho” as “A person who is overtly masculine, hence the Spanish word Machismo”
This word is truly fantastic but has sadly fallen by the vocab wayside.
Therefore, just like Justin Timberlake brought “sexy” back, I’m bringing “macho” back.
It’s going to be all the rage. I can see it now! Tween’s all over will be describing the hottest guy at school as “Macho!” Rappers will be saying their new hot ride is so “macho!” The cell phone airwaves will be flooded with text messages saying “U R 2 Macho 4 me”. Applebee’s greatest new appetizer will be the “Macho Nacho”. I might even change my name to Princess Mikkimacho? I think I’m going to make David Hasselhoff the poster boy for this retro word. Because really what’s more “macho” that this hunk of burning love!?
Clearly I’m going to be very busy with this new campaign. In fact I’m now off to start the “macho” storm on Twitter.
Or perhaps I could work on getting a life and in turn, find something more meaningful to blog about next time. Until then, sorry but those 2 minutes of your life that you spent reading this drivel are non-refundable.
How MACHO is that?
About the author
I now have The Village People’s “Macho Man” running through my head!!!
That was a hoot! A hoot and a half even. I’m on board with bring macho back (and posting The Hoff is always a good thing). You wanna be on board with bringing “hoot” back?
Becky! I totally forgot about The Village People… aww yeah!
and Shelly, I’m so on board with Hoot. That macho dude is a HOOT!
Well the post brought a smile to my face. Did that make it worth writing? See it is obvious now why the word went extinct who can top David Hasselhoff?
It brought a smile to my face as well, but I could have lived my whole life without ever seeing that picture of Hasselhoff!
considering the drivel and whining i write about, you’re already better than i am. this is great.
Macho macho mannnnnnn!
Yes. Awesome word. Bring it.
