  • Roger, it’s like this. Celebrity, when thought of in terms of its latin context ‘celibratas’ meaning ‘honored,’ is a state of being well known for a prestigious and remarkable deed or trait. Roger, Dr. Cal Mitchly is a celebrity, famous for his ability to perform life-saving appendectomies while underwater and blindfolded. Webrity is the condition of rising from relative obscurity to momentary notoriety due to the videotaping and upload of a sexual act forced upon an unwitting bucket of popcorn shrimp on the hood of a Volvo in the drive-thru lane at Arby’s. Roger, your wife is a webrity, not a celebrity.
