Rules Project: A Hunger Games Name
For today's Rules Project post, I turned back to dlisted--the "go-to" site for new words and insanely long run-on sentences. For this post, I want to look at one part of a sentence and a particular aspect of language. The post describes Cam Gigandet, who apparently is the Hunger Games and was on the television show the O.C, as having had "a Hunger Games name long before the Hunger Games was written."I guess this means that he was very popular, perhaps with the tween age group, before he became popular again with this age group in the Hunger Games.
This point reminds me of how people can be referred to as a"Cam Gigandet" to mean someone who is similar to "Cam Gigadent." They may say something like, "for this movie why don't we get a Cam Gigadent or a Robert Pattison." This may lead some to say, "why not het "Cam Gigandet or Robert Pattison."

An article makes a lot of difference! "a" Cam Gigadent is not the same as "the" Cam Gigadent.
ReplyDeleteI think the line you quoted was just the author of the post saying that the name "Cam Gigadent" sounds like it came from the Hunger Games, even though he obviously had that name before the Hunger Games came out.
ReplyDeleteThe author also goes on to call Mischa Barton a "has-been," and Cam Gigadent a "never was," so he's not exactly suggesting that Cam Gigadent found real popularity.
