Nationally recognized: a self-aggrandizing title given to a blog barely known in its own back yard.

After being quoted in USA Today, and despite his statement that "I don't like, or trust the mainstream media,"[1] pin-salesman-turned-broker Nigel Swaby upgraded his Salt Lake City Real Estate Blog from "award-winning" to "nationally-recognized".

Of this specious claim, hater Benoit™ noted:

I challenge Nigel to walk around Salt Lake City and ask random people if they've heard of his "nationally recognized" blog. I would hazard a guess that the number of people who confirm that they're aware of the blog would be equal to the number of comments Nigel gets on an average thread.[2]
