it takes bobby brown to hold back a nation of millions

i feel cheated. i've been mislead. all this time i've listened to bobby brown's "my perogative", i thought bobby was just privy to an upper category of vocab unbeknownst to me. i just found out that "perogative" is not a word. the word, mr. brown was searching for was actually prerogative.

prerogative... meaning: 1. An exclusive right or privilege held by a person or group, especially a hereditary or official right.
2. The exclusive right and power to command, decide, rule, or judge: the principal's prerogative to suspend a student.
3. A special quality that confers superiority...

admittedly more difficult to pronounce and spell. he probably heard it somewhere, spelled it phoenetically, and then proceeded to croon out an 80's megahit that led an entire new-jack-swing bred generation to thinking they had impressive new addition to their vocabulary. oh... such betrayal. how could he do this to his legions of fans who look to him as their sole source of entertainment, enlightenment, and life guidance?


man. i'd have to blog this. i couldn't actually say it with a straight face.
