I guess they’ve run out of oddballs in Lost Forest Village, so now they’re trucking them in from elsewhere. And I’m not too sure what the spot is on the end of the woman’s nose: An inking mistake, perhaps, or is she on the way to audition for one of the reindeer in a production of “Rudolph: The Musical”?
Perhaps this Amazeballs woman sees something we can’t see in these “fashions,” to want to buy them all. Well, it’s her money. Now I can understand the cynical stare of Olive Pitt. She’s probably thinking something like, “Oh goodie, another poser. Happy to take your money, though.”
“Amazeballs” is slang going back at least as far as a YouTube video in 2008 (according to the Oxford English Dictionary, though the term appears to originate in the US). It’s made the top of the list of the most annoying words more than once. A scorching condemnation analysis appears in a 2012 column in Slate, adding fire to the word’s origins and infamy ( https://tinyurl.com/4eatcs57 ). Like most slang, the word is now considered outdated, except possibly among older hipsters, such as Millennials and Gen Z.
