Review: Hostile Takeovers

For a name as great as Hostile Takeover leads me to believe, there is a lot of grunt work in learning what a hostile takeover actually is. Thus the situation of a definition being the worst part of a word is born. Thus the definition can be said to be the 'hostile takeover' of the term hostile takeover. 'Hostile takeover' in this situation being referred to by its new slang definition of 'when a word's definition is the worst part of the word, ie Hostile Defintition.'

Takeover is a fun enough word. So much intrigue and room for interpretation in that word. Said sternly, it could be a a rough command from the embattled pilot as he gets his women who is hopelessly in love with him to steer the plane as he goes and fights several henchmen who have parachuted on his wing/refused to die. Said with trembling, it could be a in-over-his-head teen clutching the wheel and feeling the weight, essence, and power of the Ford Xterra as he is about to pull into highway traffic for the first time. Said with spinach leafs and a wine vinaigrette, it could choke babies who haven't yet the ability to metabolize ruffage.

And hostile. Hostile should make any term more fun. Hostile Reactor, Hostile Newborn, Hostile Coach Purse, Hostile Tears running down a unruly cheek, Hostile Whistles blown by uncertain cosmotologists, Hostile Terminology used for Hostile Fun by Hostile Wet Nurses during a Hostile Vasectomy of the Hostile month of May. But hostile takeover is a corporate term which just seems redundant, I'd rather see the emotions of a friendly takeover. That's more oxymoronic for us dreamers.

In closing, the door is open. I can't mask my disdain for words that don't have feelings or representatives. Nor would I need to. It's fun to misplace emotions, much like the prestige adults place on children.
