Berp.

I'm mad. Furious if you will. I wanted to set up the perfect blog. So of course I would name it after the most versatile word in the English language - I think. it is berp. The best ever. More about that later - anyway so I went to blogger and tried to implement this grand plan. Guess what? berp.blogspot.com is already taken. By some juan carlos dude. it isn't even in English. What kind of person uses the most important word in the English language to set up a damn spanish blog? Humph. Lame. Anyway not to panic. As I will explain shortly the reason berp is so important is because of it's multi-uses. So I wanted to use the berp in the sense of how playful this site can be for all who visit. So the address of this blog is born as berpdadert.blogspot.com. But the title is simply - Berp. Grand. So we move on. This is where it all started:

A while back a new word was added to the vocabulary of intelligent people. It is the refinement of years of trying to convey particular feelings and emotions through cumbersome elongated words that mean so many different things to so many different people. You really can't talk to the common person if you use such linguistic patterns. You can't be certain that they are understanding exactly what you are saying. So we smart people developed a word that when instituted correctly can be used to convey endless feelings, emotions, accusations, pointed hatred, cattiness, and other such fun.

Berp (b [ir] p)- noun - adjective - preposition - whatever you want - meaning is not important - when and how it is used is.

Most often berp is shortened to simply "ber" leaving the p to more sophisticated situations.

Ber can be used to sum up a sentence as in:

I am going to do that whether you like it or not. So Ber. (stern ber)

Or it can be used to make an agreement solidified:

John: Wanna go to the store?
Jane: Yes!
John: Ber. (confidant ber)

Maybe it is as way to convey sorrow, or sadness or sympathy.

Tom: My cat died yesterday
Ethel: Berrrrr (note the elongated "r". Very important in the conveyance of sympathy)

In extreme cases ber can be used as conversation on both sides often with gestures.

Jack: Ber? (questioning ber. holding up an apple - intent of ber - "wanna piece?")
Diane: Ber. (solid and short - abrupt, if you will - intent of ber - "no!")
Jack: Ber! (higher pitched and squeaky - intent of ber - "Whatever!"
I could sit her and explain the use of the berp but it would be pointless. I think you'll understand the ber as we go.
