My major problem with the Facebook Vampires application

[wzdd]

...is that it refers to its victims as "chumps".

My experience with victims of vampire attack is mainly of the Anne Rice / delicate maiden / skin pure as alabaster / her exposed neck so slender and vulnerable school, a set that I can't really reconcile with the word "chump".

You know, I think if you chomp someone, it makes sense that they become a chump...

This is what I was about to say also.

I hate you.

Aargh! *hatesplosion*

I don't associate the word "vulnerable" with necks. Rather "strong" and "furry".

When I was growing up, Sesame Street tought me how to find the 'different' thing in a list or group.

'Anne Rice' definitely does not fit in the group. No no no - not at all. I've seen pictures - she could easily be described as a chump, but never 'slender', 'delicate' or 'pure'.

The things that belong (delicate maiden, skin pure as alabaster and slender, vulnerable neck) are not easily described as chumps - I have to agree with you there.
