(Thanks Dad for the heads up for this - it made me laugh out loud so many times)
Is it wrong to write a blog post based on at title that you get first and then try an fill in the blanks? Probably not, it's my ball and I can do what I like!
My Dad and I had a laugh recently when my Dad mistakenly talked about going virile instead or going viral but it made me think about what going virile would be, in dentistry certainly.
It would be a collection of guys, alpha males with huge personalities, huge egos sitting in a room extolling the virtues of whatever it is they do to be the best thing in the world and convincing the quieter people around them (for maybe a short while at least) that they were absolutely right.
They would transfer this to some sort of social media platform, probably Facebook, and parade their ideas and their values widely so that people started to talk about it until the myth starts to become a reality. It's one thing for a good idea to spread and that's one thing that the connection economy has really provided us with and the ability to do it very quickly but it's another thing when it amplifies 'the shouter' - the bullish, opinionated guy who never thinks he's wrong.
So on this occasion I will probably settle for viral over virile!
