Wondertrash®

Mel Gibson has expanded our vocabularies, if not our minds.For instance, our Wondertrash word of the day is Sedavacantism. To be precise, sedavacticanism is the position held by radical Catholic conservatives, such as father and son crusaders Mel and Hutton Gibson, that no true pope has reigned in the Vatican, since Pope Pius 12. In vernacular, we'd say "more Catholic than the Pope". So surprise your friends by working sedavaticanism casually into the conversation. Say something along the lines of "I find Mel Gibson's sedavaticanism a little extreme", or "Sedavaticanism may well be one of the plagues of our time." Try experimenting, and see how many times you can work the word sedavaticanism into the converstation, with out explaining. Watch as your listeners grow ever more perplexed. They want to demand an explanation, and yet are afraid to admit that they don't know what sedavaticanism is. Then either give'em a condescending explanation, or leave 'em dangling. Either way you'll come off like a know it all! Just like St. Mel. Just watch out for sneaky Scientologist rhetorical counters such as "You're being glib. You don't know the history of sedavaticanism. I do!"

In Wonder related news, an Australian company makes Wonderjock, the male equivalent of the Wonderbra. With a delicious gallery. And a store for the guys. Not that any Wondertrashers would be into that sort of thing, of course. (No nudity but maybe Not safe for work)

Meanwhile, here's a woman who wasn't much of a Wonder. She's Miss USA 2007, Rachel Smith, who took a tumble at the recent Miss Universe pageant. She was wobblier than Lindsay Lohan after a 3 day bender. Perhaps she could be a fill in rep for Svedka vodka?

She's got beauty, grace, charm, and not a leg to stand on! I don't think that she'll be "Dancing With the Stars" anytime soon. no harm done, since she seems well padded back there, in her derriere. Now, in honour of Miss USA, a little song by the terror of Shoreditch.
