WoW-ology

The other day I was having a nice guild chat with SG. Out of no where, the term WoW-ology came out and how this word came about was a discussion about several experienced guildies that have researched so much about WoW, they are can be called as WoW-logists because they have countlessly spent hours of research in the field of WoW-ology. It is as funny as the term as Hamburgerology. However, I kid you not, Hamburger University does exist and it is a university setup by McDonald's Corporation.

I cracked up at the terms and decided to do a dictionary search on “ology”. This is what I came out with:


Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ology
ol‧o‧gy[ol-uh-jee]
–noun, plural -gies. Informal or Facetious.
any science or branch of knowledge.


Don’t you think it is kind of cool that WoW has so much of an impact on our lives that there should be a library of knowledge and enough material for WoW-ology to be taught at the University of Blizzard Entertainment? Imagine this:

Lecturer moves his hand to switch on the monitor and activating the projector to beam a bright presentation on a white retractable screen. The presentation shows several bolded words and paragraphs of notes alongside with some drawings. The lecturer starts to clear his throat while adjusting his microphone brooch, taps the mic several times before speaking,

“Ok. As you can read on the projection, today we will be focusing on the topic Ganking; ways of preventing, ways of causing, physiological point and root-cause of it. We will also cover on several topics with regard to Ganking which will be appearing in this mid-term paper.”

Haha… >:D
