As civilization progresses, and technological advances make their way into our everyday lives, certain character traits induced by the technology arise – unique, time-stamped peccadillos if you will, for which there are simply no adequate words – yet. We’ve selected 10 words that really ought to exit, and shared them with you. For the full list, see this website.

And as usual, if you read to the end of the post, there’s a little bonus: a sentence that uses all new words… Enjoy!

(n) Filling a conversation with unnecessary detail about one’s passion to an otherwise uninitiated, uninterested layperson.

While at home in his Internest, typerventilating away in his typical unkeyboardinated fashion while waiting for House of Cards to sload, Neal – the cellfish paddict, was careful to nerdjack the conversation away from babies, and steer it carefully towards his latest pet topic: the positive long terms of effects of brussel sprouts in combatting passfusion and onlineness.
