Haha, I hate those advertisements…

Anyways, I like it. Has a nice ring to it, but I’m pretty sure if I used it in normal conversation the other person will be like “What?”

Let us unfortunately keep in mind that, to most laypeople, MonsterQuest is their only exposure to cryptozoology.

Therefore…

I think the term is demeaning to the show and , by proxy, demeaning to cryptozoology in general.

If people start using a term as a “joke” then the show becomes part of the joke. Everything associated with it suffers the same fate.

Just MHO….

Now, why would anybody want to take you or your humor seriously, Loren???

Kidding…

Ok enough noun. Not for all occasions, though…

@ Loren above: Or me too seriously.

Thanks to Loren for catching and posting my little play on words. I do regret that my definition implies that the term should be an adjective (e.g., “inconclusive”) while my usage is as a noun. Loren picked that up nicely. I think the noun form works better.

So, if there are grammarians out there, be assured I know the difference.

I love it! It will be the next “google”. Instead of doing a search on the internet, they ‘google’. I can clearly see this happening with monsterquest.

Coworker: Did you manage to solve that budget issue with the state?
Me: Right.. you know thats a monsterquest.

Greetings All!
Okay, okay… let me try this. (Ahemm hemm) “My search for a storage space to store all the free Nintendo Wii’s and Mac Notebooks I’ve won on Cryptomundo was a MonsterQuest.”
