What is with people saying "phenom" instead of "pheno"? I hear this all the time; at the dispensary, at the hydro store, on the internet, at the bar. Whenever I hear someone use the word "phenom" I want to grab them and shake them and yell "It's fucking pheno you idiot! It is an abbreviated form of the word phenotype! There is no M in phenotype!" Is there some sort of inside joke that I am not aware of? It is getting to the point that I hear people use "phenom" even more than "pheno" and it drives me nuts. Whenever I hear someone say "phenom" instead of "pheno" my opinion of them immediately drops from "intelligent cannabis enthusiast" to "ignorant stoner" and everything worthwile that they were just talking about flies right out the window and I can't help but think that this person has no fucking clue what they are talking about. Many times these are people whose job it is to educate others about cannabis and they can't even speak correctly. I have no doubt that there are many phenominal phenotypes out there but it seems the majority of people are completly clueless to the fact that they are mispronouncing this word (even if "pheno" itself is slang). Come on people, read a fucking book about growing or genetics and quit dumbing down our society... Or just do another dab and speak like an imbecile. Your choice.
