New word: Kamino

New word: childhoodren

What is the plural of childhood? Childhoods? That sounds weird. The plural of child is children. How about the plural of childhood to be childhoodren?

new definition for 83—TOUCHDOWN!


83 in text messaging means TD or Touchdown. If your team scores a touchdown, you can send an excited text message to a friend that says, "TD TD TD TD TD TD TD TD." All it takes is to hit 8-3-space over and over. I can see it now, 83 will become a VERY popular number to wear on football jerseys.

New phrase: urban camping


(photos under creative commons from (left to right) azote, bigman606, ktb, rdott_s, robbyt, and valerierenee )

The media is all over the people who camp out for days for a PS3. "Crazy!" they say. But think of it this way. Camping. People like to camp, right? They sleep outside in the woods just for the heck of it. Now take these PS3 folks. Not only are they camping, but they a "reward" after three days. They get to buy a PS3. Yeah, yeah, some of you might pessimistically say, "what kind of reward is that?" But compare it to people who camp outdoors like normal. At the end of their trip they just pack up and go home. But with the campers for the PS3, this camping with a mission.

Plus, these urban campers get to hang out with other people who are like them. Comradery. That's fun. Aaaand urban campers get to tell their goofy story about how they camped out for days to buy a video game system.

Hooray for urban campers. It's nice to see your passion. It's great to see you go after it. Besides, anything that gets gamers out of their house for extended periods of time is very good for them.

New word: smackless


Smackless
definition:
(adj) Spelled Pronunciation[smack-lis]

Origin: Starting in 2005 Yahoo Fantasy Football allowed competitors to have "smack talk" appear by their team name. Smack is comments either boasting up oneself or against another team. When one of the teams don't have any reply to the other team's smack, they are rendered smackless.

1. temporarily deprived of smack by strong emotion, physical weakness, exhaustion, etc.: speechless with alarm. Example when a players is so overcome by the smack delievered by another player, one may become smackless and have nothing to say.

The icon Yahoo uses to indicate new smack is kinda interesting when it's blown up big:

It literally looks like something is getting smacked.
