There is always new “slang” popping up, but it seems to happen more lately (or I’m just getting old). Here are a few things from an article in Delta Sky Magazine (April 09) and today’s USA Today.
- Blackberry Jam – delay caused by a person walking slowly, nose glued to PDA.
- Defaced – deleted from someone’s list of Facebook “friends”.
- Designated Texter – someone who receives and responds to the driver’s text messages to ensure passenger safety.
- Kthxbi (OK – Thanks – Bye) – Fast end to an online conversation that going nowhere.
- ShyPod – Someone who won’t share his or her iPod for fear of being exposed as a disco/country/Neil Diamon lover.
- Hashtag – users can disclose the topic of their tweet by prefixing a word with a hash symbol (#health).
- Tweet – a short update of 140 characters or more.
- Tweetup – when Twitter users meet face-to-face.
- Following – when you receive someone tweets, you are considered their follower.
