INTERRRRRROBANG!


Though it may sound like a newly implemented CIA information gathering technique involving old school methods, updated for a sexually liberal modern era by throwing a little penetration-based banging into the mix, sadly it is not. The Interrobang is a punctuation mark, product of a 'colabo' between the necessary Question Mark and the sadly overlooked Exclamation Mark (unless we are talking about Elaine Bennes, of Seinfeld fame, known for her exhaustive use of the latter). When these two Marks get together, you can expect some wild symbols!

Here are some examples of the interrobang in everyday use:

"She did WHAT with you daughter's Ken doll?!"

Note: It seems I can't fashion an interrobang on my keyboard, no matter how I try to mash the two keys at a simultaneous moment. Alas. Use your imagination; when I put an exclamation and a question mark together, that will be, from now on, the sign of the interrobang.

"You expect me to put my lips on that rusty trumpet?!"

And so on. . .
