My fellow Louisiana blogger and friend, the lovely Painted Maypole, posted an exchange we had regarding British Petroleum, the oil company that put profits over public safety. We think BP should stand for something else.
Here are a few of mine.
Any suggestions?

Regular dishes on life in New Orleans, historic home renovation, raising kids, completing a PhD, travel near and far, global concerns, and health issues.
You know the story, right? International health... work all over the place... drag my kids around in sacks through villages in Central America... yadda yadda. I decided to go for another degree, so in 2004 we moved to New Orleans with no intention of staying. Then Katrina. And then *blink*blink* New Orleans is a completely different place and we just can't leave. Suddenly I'm on TV talking about immigrants and health and Paul is starting a company. Or two. His side is high-tech, mine is community health and our lives are yearly evacuation, regular celebrations, and nonstop work here, there, and everywhere. Our door is always open. I only ask that if you decide to go ahead and make yourself that mint julep, you make one for me, too.
We strive to make our life our argument.

You may be able to add the words “being prosecuted” to your list soon …

I was out of creative juice, so I gave the word to my daughter, so suggested Big Poopyheads (Poopyheads being one word, much like dickheads, it falls within, right?)

The best logo I’ve seen is on LACOASTPOST – it shows the BP logo and the word BPocalypse.
I laughed at the cleverness, even though the reality isn’t funny.

I think British Petroleum will from now on become a curse word and the worst insult you can throw at somebody else.
“You are a greedy, lying, greedy weasel! You are such a BP!”
