The Postman:

Over budget over hyped post-apocalyptic garbage.

[Gusington]

^7 words

But on the same theme:

Waterworld:

Water water everywhere but flick sucks

It is not 7 words.  Post-apocalyptic is one hyphenated word.

[Gusington]

Hyphenated implies two words conjoined by a hyphen.

You're just jealous because my Waterworld one is better anyway :)

Wrong.  Hyphens are mostly used to break single words into parts, or to join ordinarily separate words into single words.  You may find some grammatical Nazis who would argue that "post" is not a prefix requiring a hyphen at all, unless it precedes a proper noun...accordingly, some may claim that the term is properly spelled postapocalyptic.

I was taught that if it looks fer sh*t as one word, then hyphenate it

post apocalyptic
postapocalyptic
post-apocalyptic


post-hole digger
post hole-digger

That sounds very official.  Does it come from The Elements of Style?

[Gusington]

Breezy it is appropriate that that image appears on your 1666th post. Is that Marge Schott? Anyhoo...
