Fat bastard

But trying to change the fact. Early days...


I don't give a bing!

OK, this should be short work....

While "google" has become a verb, bing definitely hasn't. The name was allegedly chosen deliberately as one that was seen as having potential to verbiate or become a verb.

But to my ear, it sounds more like a noun. And given how things have gone, I think it's a rather suitable metaphor for nothingness. So please join me in picking up the phrase.

I don't give a bing!
I couldn't care one bing.
Who gives a bing?
Bing bing! (usage: person A says something devoid of meaning; person B responds "bing bing!")

Every single one in my audience of about 0 is hereby invited to leave suggestions for usage in the comments. You may even say the whole post was just bing bing if that's how you feel...
