15. The artist will now say the whole intent was to get people to type parbunkells, and I’ll bet money on it.

16. I just thought it was the archaic spelling of perv uncles.

17. It is an evil plot.
    Spelled backward it is slleknubrap
    Something to do with “rap” … can’t be good.
    Agreed >>>> Idiot.

18. Example of common use:- He’s just not ready…not even parbunkels could save this campaign.

19. I wonder how many people are wandering around in NYC thinking Parbunkells must be some new bar or restaurant?

20. IDK, I’m wondering if maybe the whole point of her billboard art & expressed desire for exclusivity is actually the set-up stage of making it into a performance art piece by seeing how the various media – and people in general – take up the contrarian position and spread the word around; i.e. the whole internet meme phenomenon rendered down to one word. I imagine that meme tracking has been done a hundred times already (think of Amy & Sheldon’s hilarious “sex vs. herb garden” meme experiment in an episode of TBBT), so the concept is not original.
    So in essence, we have become part of her performance art experiment. And it worked, LOL.

23. It is only a word, and in this new progressive age, it can mean whatever we want it to.

24. She really is a barmpot, a berk and a bint. And no one else can use those words unless I say so.

25. What a berk I am. I forgot to add my name!

26. wurd. Also, in this progressive age, we can spell it however we want to. werd. wyrd. wird.
    “Not sure why we have to wreck it for her.”
    You misunderstand. She is likely getting the response that she wanted.
    Now she is getting her 15 minutes of fame, as Andy Warhol put it.
    Andy Warhol: August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987) was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. His works explore the relationship between artistic expression, celebrity culture and advertisement that flourished by the 1960s.
    She is trying to follow in Warhol’s footsteps.
    Asking people to not use a word that she doesn’t own and then putting it on a billboard in NYC is like putting a Red Button on display with a sign that says, “Don’t Push This Button.”

27. Oh yeah?
    I have a new word too. It’s BILF.
    Bints I’d Like to __________
    There we go.

28. I’ll have to remember to use the word parbunkells on September 19th,
    International Talk like a Pirate Day.
    “Avast, me Chumbuckets! Secure that mizzenmast with a parbunkell smartly, Aye!”
    “Or ye’ll be scrapin’ the barnacles offa’ me rudder, arrr.”
