Cooool terms
One good soul sent me this stuff.Thought i must share it with you. I found it very interesting. Especially the one on 'Cellular Macarena'!! Enjoy.
Anticipointment: The feeling you get when a product or event doesn't live up to its own hype. "Windows ME was a huge anticipointment."
Audio caffeine: High energy, stimulating music that gets you moving in the morning.
BHNC: Big Hat, No Cattle. Another way of saying "all talk, no action”. Alludes to bragging cowboys.
Bobbleheading: The mass nod of agreement by participants in a meeting to comments made by the boss even though most have no idea what he just said.
Cellular Macarena: The dance that occurs when a cellular phone rings in a public place. Everyone reaches for their coat pocket, front pants pocket, back pants pocket, etc.
Director of First Impressions: A receptionist. Once the punch line of an Internet joke, it's now an actual job title at some companies.
Entity: A legitimate word that once primarily heard in science fiction stories. "Sorry, Captain, but the interference is being caused by an unknown entity. Now the business sector is abusing the term: "We've established a strategic partnership with another entity." Translated: "We don't really know how to do that so we have outsourced that part of the job to another company."
Forward-worthy: E-mail deemed worthy of being passed along to friends and colleagues.
Generation O: Move aside Gen X! The O stands for obesity since the latest generation of kids are the fattest in history.
Sept. 10: Anything that's outdated, old-fashioned or no longer cool. Used to describe the world that existed prior to Sept. 11, 2001. "That dress is so Sept. 10."
Spinach cinema: A movie that’s supposedly “good for you,” but you dread having to see.
Surfer's voice: The inattentive, half-hearted tone (punctuated with surreptitious tapping of a keyboard) that means the person on the other end of the phone is more focused on surfing the Web, reading e-mails and trading instant messages than listening to you.
Vampire creativity: Marketing term for a commercial that is so creative and entertaining that people remember the ad, but not the product being sold
