Classic Reg, keeping it classy

Even though most of us are doing the sarcasm thing, you might want to look for a better word than hagiography. It's a bit niche, and while there is a bit of the (not to praise Caesar but to Bury him) cachet in the word, both phrases are cliche and leave the air of one who is trying to hard. I suggest as the easy substitute... Vitriol, as it is in keeping with the essential and vital spirit of El Reg.

Where other publications would shy from going out of their way to piss on a dead man's grave in public, this fine publication honors it's integrity by reminding us that wow, that guy could be a prick.

Besides, wouldn't want Tim Cook to reconsider that lifetime ban right, or even forget eventually? Those seats in the new theatre look terribly uncomfortable, and the catering is probably terrible right?

So Vitriol, it's shorter, sounds classy because it's British English, and it makes you feel hollow inside if you drink too much of it.
