“Weaksauce.” I’d heard it before, but it never really registered until I saw it in print in a Wired blog entry. As I thought about it, I realized I’d also heard “awesomesauce,” and “crapsauce” in conversation over the years.
Www.urbandictionary.com (occasionally NSFW) that online bastion of proper word usage, relates “weak sauce” to Taco Bell sauce packets and “awesome sauce” to the online animated character Strong Bad.
As a HomeStarRunner fan, I like the latter, but I can see where the former fits. After all, any Taco Bell sauce is crapsauce compared to the awesomesauce that is Taco John’s Superhot.
