Dramady

This morning as i was busy counting all of the holes in my office ceiling, i was abruptly and obnoxiously interrupted by the most annoying coworker in the company. Brian. He never stops talking. I mean never. (He once argued with me about how Texas is going to secede from the remainder of the United States, for over an hour. And by argued i mean he talked about how awesome it would be and I sat there quietly pretending to answer emails. I was pretty spaced out, but he somehow managed to pull me me back into reality with a rousing rendition of "A Country Boy Can Survive.") Brutal. 

Anyway, this morning he began a review of some movie he and a friend rented from redbox last night. I'm guessing that "friend," was a bucket of chicken and a Mr. Pibb big gulp. He didn't like it. Insert 45 minutes worth of reasons why not. But he thought he was going to like it because it was a "new" genre he read about called a "dramady." While I tried to stop my facial expressions from revealing my surprise that he was in fact literate, he kindly informed me that "dramady" meant it was both a drama and a comedy. Combined. Thanks for enlightening me Bri-Bri.  

I pondered about what movies or shows I watched would be considered to fall into this "newly" developed dramady genre. Maybe its just me, but most shows slash movies have both dramatic and comedic elements, no?

Check out Shakespeare- that man was a beast! He invented dramady! Who decided they could simply combine the two words into one and pawn it off as their own original thought?! How dare they. 

Although... 

the words DO fit nicely together. So much so that I invented my own combinations. Word up.
