Yesterday, I introduced a new acronym, BHM (black-hat-moron) to the DovBear lexicon (joining GOPJew and KefiyaTalis as phrases invented here.)
But what exactly is a BHM? See below (and for the sake of comparison and fairness, I've also defined MOM (modern-orthodox-moron))

Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and everything. However just imagine if you added
some great photos or videos to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this blog could certainly be one of the greatest in its niche.
Amazing blog!
