A Welcome, and an Explanation

At the moment, I have a little more time on my hands than I would like, so I thought I would postpone my online poker career and take up the more productive hobby of blogging. If you are wondering about the title, Chirpsing seems to be the buzzword at the moment, and I want to stay current. However, whilst the most of the topics posted will not be concerned with the chirpse, it will remain in the undercurrent of my blog, and so doe merit some explanation.

The origins of the word lie in the raves of East London, where the local boys would chirpse the local girls... 'I be chirpsing dat sweet ting over there blad', ...'allow chirpsing dat brere, I already slew dat'. In this original definition, and maybe even the current one, the most well known chirpser would have to be the horrific Leslie Grantham (the finger sucking Dirty Den from Eastenders).



Thankfully the definition developed into a more all embracing term of endearment ('Alright, Chirpser' was the greeting on an earlier phone call), general verb ('What u chirpsing about tonight?' was a text recieved earlier today).

However there remain a much more complex feel to the term. If someone is felt to be exagerating an anecdote, over persuading, or simply spouting crap facts and ideas, they will be labelled a chirpser. Which leads the blog, which may be regarded as a complete chirpse by some. But I will be posting both serious and more irrelevant articles on here about current affairs, brands and the media, and I would appreciate any feedback, or entry into the debate.
