Doing word searches on my manuscript to make sure I haven't used certain words too often (I'm looking at you, "just" and "slightly") and discovered that the word "blorp" appears only twice. I might try for a third in this revision.

Should I hold off for Automatic Noodle (Blorp remix)?

@annaleen this reminds me of the time I had to stop reading a book because the author didn’t use the word “and” enough.

Wait, blorp is a real word? I have only ever heard it used to mean vomit, and assumed it wasn't an actual word.

@annaleen how are you doing on "really?" – have noticed it really gets over used these days, really, and almost invariably it is really redundant.

@annaleen Nearly any word can be replaced with blorp if you try hard enough
