The Chant of the Barbie Dolls

 Googlewhackblatt-mageddon!

COTBD can exclusively reveal today that no one in the history of the internet (according to Bing anyhow) has ever considered putting the words "Passel" and "Hassle" together to construct a folksy phrase conveying that something will be a great deal of inconvenient trouble.

"The impacts of global warming - that's going to be a whole 'passel o' hassle' if we don't take immediate action", said one COTBD sub-editor, decrying the fact that, with what little content we produce, we spiral further down the drain of degenerate triviality in a daily attempt to get even one page view.

"You're going to get a swift root up the hole, not to mention a passel of hassle if you don't get me 800 words by close of business today", said this reporter's immediate line manager in response to requests for comment, before physically shoving me out of his office. 

Writing this article turned out to be much more of a passel of hassle than this reporter ever believed possible.

Also, I don't think anyone has ever coined the term "googlewhackblatt-mageddon" either, so that's 2 firsts in one post.

Happy International Neologism Day.
