That is So Prius!

Hello My Dear Friends. We're all in favor of "saving the environment" but, as I'm sure you know, some people are a little more, shall we say "zealous" about it than others. We give those people cute little nicknames like "Tree Hugger" or "Enviro-Nazi". But I have discovered another group of people who fall somewhere in the middle. I've decided to call these individuals "Prius People". These are the people who can't wait to tell you how they're reducing their "carbon footprint" and living the "Green Life" but, really have no clue. I find these people unbearably annoying! Thus, the "Prius" tag. Anyone who bothered to do the tiniest bit of research knows that the Prius is the worst car for the environment since the Hummer. Yet, Prius owners, many of them quite snooty, don't seem to realize this. They often display bumper stickers they say things like "Go Green" or "My Other Car is a Bicycle" and, of course, most of them sport "Obama 2012" as well, but that's for another blog. My point here is that these "Prius People" who display that special kind of hubris that can only come through ignorance, need to be addressed. This is why I am proposing that we turn the word "Prius" into a homonym! Yes! The first definition will of course be, as it always was, "an over priced car for aging hippies". The second definition I propose will be "a disparaging term used to mock aging hippies and others who attempt to waive their lack of knowledge about the environment in your face". So, the next time you see someone get into a "green" car with a disposable Starbucks cup in their hand, say "Oh, that is so Prius"! When you see a "Go Green" message on someone sporting a plastic water bottle, "Look at you getting all Prius". You follow me? We need to take these people down a notch. They need to know that what they're feeling is not superiority but abject stupidity, and it's our job to tell them! So, hemp shirt with leather shoes; Prius!  Herb garden with gas powered lawn mower; Prius! Compact flourescent bulbs with window air conditioners; Prius! Plastic grocery bags filled with organic food; Prius! Let's get on this people. It's time to call a Prius, well, a Prius.
