Hehe! Reminds me of the time I typed Whittier, California with an S instead of a W! - toadstool57, 2007-04-30: 19:09:00

And would you believe I'm changing my first name to Whittier? I'll remember to be careful of that! - mplsbohemian, 2007-04-30: 21:24:00

Pronunciation: brain-framing (like mainframe & aiming with a brain in the beginning)

Sentence: He was brainframing since two hours on verbotomy.com, but nobody voted for his spuntastic words.

Etymology: The word comes from the Pixelfarmers of the South. They like to hang out and load frame after frame, again and again, into their biological mainframe, into their brain - for hours - since years. Framefarmers... but that's how they are...
