wondered whether you have missed out an "it".

Only if preceded by "Oh sh".

That deserves to be in the groan section of amusing items.

Boom boom! A proper Basil Brush joke that one.

He's so common he thinks sucrose is posh.
I call him Anal Sucrose.

Does that help AMS's piles?

spoilerage

I saw this and it didn't look right. Looked it up and, supposedly, it is "fandom slang" for spoilers. So, spoilerage is a slang word for the shorter word spoiler. Has the world gone mad?

 

[gomezz]

For me a spoiler is a single instance of the sin. Spoilers would be an alternative for having unwanted clues emblazoned all across a web site / app screen but I prefer spoilerage as a more aggressive term for this heinous crime covering not just the words but the pictures and emojis used as well as the catch-up live coverage duration also being a big Scooby. This time the BBC even experimented with Key Moment markers for goals and cards etc on the playbar but that was dropped after push back from viewers and I am guessing internally from their sports people explaining to their media people that while it was clever it was not wanted.

Hell, I must be getting old - I had to look Scooby up, even though I did actually know it. I can't blame lack of sleep, I didn't watch the match.

spoiler is a single instance of the sin

I contemplated putting spoilers and then didn't. The day hasn't started well.

 

[Black Hole]

I regard "spoilerage" as everything pertaining to spoilers.

 

[EEPhil]

Probably correctly, it just looked odd to me. I learn something new every day here...and often immediately forget it!

 

[prpr]

The other way often used it to label it as a "rerun".

Ghastly Americanism. And I dislike it without a hyphen.

 

[gomezz]

I regard "spoilerage" as everything pertaining to spoilers.

The similarity to sounding like words such as damage and carnage helps to emphasise that it is being used pejoratively.

 

[prpr]

Usage? Outage? Encourage?

 

[Black Hole]

Adding the -age suffix turns a verb or a noun into a compound noun.

 

[EEPhil]

Usage? Outage? Encourage?

Don't encourage gomezz's usage of outrage at an outage.
