Preface To Buzz: Didn't You Already Do A Buzz Show?

(I made this image for this blog over nine years ago; I don't remember where the original image came from.)

Hasn't there already been a Self Help Radio show with the theme "buzz"?  Yes, there has!  It aired on February 22, 2013, on WRFL in Lexington, Kentucky.  Here's what I wrote in the blog in the "preface to" post (it was entitled, "Preface To Buzz: Buzz Off!"):

Here's the thing.  If you look up the definition of "buzz off," not only is it "chiefly Brit." but it means "to go away; to leave; to depart."

But if you go to an online thesaurus & look for synonyms (is there a special figure of speech for phrases that are synonyms?) for "buzz off," you get these: "bugger off, scram, fuck off, get."

It seems like the phrase is not as innocent as one might think.

Let's go to the Urban Dictionary!

Oh that wasn't very nice.  It just says it means, "Go away."

It doesn't seem to be very polite to say "buzz off."  But is there a polite way to say it?

& here's what it said on the "Whither Buzz?" post I wrote the next day:

I didn't hear the buzz but I did get a buzz cut with a buzz saw.

That buzzing noise from some far-off buzzer is telling you Self Help Radio's show about all kindsa buzz is happening TODAY on 88.1 fm WRFL.  That's from four to six Lexingtime.  You can listen to it in the city or, if you're not in the city, but you are in your computer, you can listen to it on the WRFL web page.

The buzzing in your head may never stop, since I will put the show later on the Self Help Radio web site.

I'm just going to be going buzzzzzzzzzzzz-zzz-zzzz-zzzz-zzzzzzz-zzz-zz-zz-zzzzz-zzzzzzz all damn day long.

If these posts seem unusually pithy, it's because at the time I was acting as Music Director for WRFL & didn't have a lot of time to write nonsense in the blog.  But I did make the show, which I recently listened to, & will share some of it on the show this week.

But - why am I revisiting the theme buzz?  I'll talk about that tomorrow!
