Using the 35 New Words

Hey, all you newbs should open your lappys and head on over to the Oxford English Dictionary to check out the ZOMG! thirty-five new words accepted this year. It’s totally not NSFW. If you’re sitting around nekkid in your man cave complaining about your man flu while studying your social graph to figure out who to unfollow in the Twittersphere you might need to consider a lifehack to help you better manage your time.

If you can’t find a permalink that explains savior siblings, you might need to calm down, get a mani-pedi, and drink some coconut water. If your bestie is a bankster or a BOLO engaged in casino banking you might need to wear an awareness bracelet to compensate. Even if it isn’t Cyber Monday and you’re not feeling overly eco-chic or schmick, there’s no need to overshare about the meep you made during the pat-down you got from some ‘roid-raging airport cop.

I don’t need a breadcrumb trail to figure out how you got that baby-bump. It might be a bit insidery but I’m not putting writing an infographic on my bucket list.

Also, too, I am for Network Neutrality and I like to keep everything paperless.
