Kids, our word for today is "Glurge"
Apparently Snopes board came up with this lovely word a while ago:
"In ordinary language, glurge is the sending of inspirational (and supposedly "true") tales, ones that often conceal much darker meanings than the uplifting moral lessons they purport to offer or undermine their messages by fabricating and distorting historical fact in the guise of offering a "true story." "

I don't Facebook. But I know many of you do. And you probably get glurged upon.
...Glurged upon...."Turn that frown upside down!". GAAAAAAH!

It is so evocative of how I feel when I get those e-mails and so on, with the don't-worry-be-happy covering stinky BS smell of, well, some sort of BS.
I don't FB, but that's because I dislike that BS, LOL.
"Glurge" sounds like something toilet-related, ugh!
I have a book called passing english in the victorian era. There are some hilarious words in it.
My favorite example it gave: "Having survived a horrific storm, a slave trader promptly gave up his livelihood, became a Christian, and penned the hymn 'Amazing Grace' in thanksgiving."
