NWoTD - Minace

Today's new word is...

Minace - a minimal menace. Maybe more like an annoyance.

NWoTD - Spattern

One of the other new words I came up with yesterday. With a nod to the original dirty mushroom, this one's a bit on the gross side.

Spattern - the unique pattern of spray your diarrhea makes in the bowl.

NWoTD - Toolio

I came up with this one with a specific person in mind but decorum prevents me from going any further than that this is a perfect description for him.

Toolio - someone who thinks they are supercool but they're really a supertool.

Which, of course, leads to another related term...

Foolio - someone who thinks they are supercool but they're really a superfool.

NWoTD - Emaul

Today's word is a pretty simple one, a switch of a letter and, bam, the original word's definition extends in a whole new space.

Emaul - assault by email. Using email to attack and hurt someone else. I'm still working on the IM and SMS version of this because of the recent story about the guy who terrorized some young teen girls via IM.

NWoTD - Introllectual

Ahh, don't you love the smell of a brand new word? No? I guess its just me then. Anyway, here's another new word to describe a certain type of online jerko.

Introllectual - someone who's obviously got some brains but only uses them to abuse, derail and otherwise upset an online community.

NWoTD - Scumarketing

Inspired by my most disliked retail giant, Wal-Mart and their scummy marketing tactic of getting kids to spam their parents with expensive crap from Wal-Mart for Christmas.

Scumarketing - scummy marketing, underhanded marketing techniques that leave you feeling like there is a dirty film over you. Unethical and unnecessary marketing that should be met with nothing but scorn and boycotts.

NWoTD - Carriot

Today's new word has almost no use in the real world but it makes me laugh anyway.

Carriot - a riot over carrots.

NWoTD - Slimformation

Today's new word is inspired by the near never-ending drivel spewing forth from Tony Snow's fetid maw. And so today's new word is....

Slimformation - passing on just enough information to get by but not really enough to know anything of value.

And also,

Mislimformation - passing on just enough bad information to be plausibly deniable. They've stopped even trying to do this since they are just out and out lying (see Tony Snow's recent lies about George Bush never having said we should "Stay the course" in Iraq despite the literally hundreds of instances it can be found online).

I suppose there might also be a version called slimeformation but that gets a little hard to parse.

NWoTD - Columnuts

Columnuts - insane columnists like Nick Coleman who drives Rhodes crazy with his bad journalism.

NWoTD - Secrutiny

Secrutiny - scrutinizing your security or securing your scrutiny but that makes less sense.

NWoTD - Glerrors

Glerrors - glaring errors. Also could be spelled glarrers but that makes the root words a bit more obtuse.

NWoTD - Circurse

Circurse - cursed to be stuck in the circus forever. Or a cursed circus. Or a circus for cursing.

NWotD - Confidencial & Confidensial

Confidencial - having confidence in presumed confidentiality. That your secret is safe without having to ask if your secret is safe, even if reality may prove otherwise.

Which, of course, leads one almost instantly to

Confidensial - marked by a dense or stupid confidence, misplaced confidence.
