Sentence: Ralph's character in World of Warcraft was awesome — with some of the best armor and weapons available. But Ralph was technegligent IRL. He hadn't shaved or bathed in 4 or 5 days, and he'd barely slept in the last week. He'd called in sick at work twice, but after that he hadn't even bothered, and they'd finally stopped calling to leave him messages. He seemed to recall a girl he'd been dating, but she'd stopped calling, too... Anyway, his character rocked! That's what was important, wasn't it?

Etymology: Technology - electronic or digital products and systems (from Greek, tekhnologia "science of the mechanical and industrial arts") + negligent - failing in what duty requires; derelict or delinquent (from Latin, neglegere "to make light of, disregard")
