Verboticisms

Pronunciation: tek-neh-LODJ-eh-gewf

Sentence: Roger fancied himself to be very hip on evolving technology but he was, in fact, a technilogigoof, harboring much misinformation and many misperceptions, among them believing that RAM is a Dodge truck and an IPad a medical dressing used in eye injuries.

Etymology: Blend of the words 'technology' (n. the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life) and 'goof' (n. a foolish or stupid person)

Pronunciation: New - Tin - Spire

Sentence: She coughed into her sleeve as she roamed the back alleys looking for her available dumpster, one left undisturbed by the savage local gearheads; the south side seemed promising, teeming with office parks rented often to failed startups. Her next hit of Newtonspiration would come in the form of a smart-minifridge. The internet would never go want for her milk-status again!

Etymology: Apple Newton + inspire or perspire or maybe just a spire, like the holy thing on churches that doesn't really mean anything in modern Christianity (look it up).

In fact, he was constantly AGOGATECH!

Sentence: Wendell spends much of his spare time in the wowidget store admiring the newest **gotta haves**. The fact that he doesn*t understand them does little to suppress his awe. He does understand that his vocabulary is being truncated by people who don*t have time for all those pesky syllables. He used to buy applications. Now they are just apps. He used to use a telephone. Now it is just a phone (soon to be a pho or fo?) He also knows that he is quickly running out of mon(ey).

Etymology: wow (expressing astonishment or admiration) + widget (a small gadget or device, esp. one whose name is unknown or unspecified)

Sentence: Bernice's new bombtronic device failed miserably as a phone or as a browser either. It looked cool, sounded cool but she could not make or receive phone calls or navigate to any web sites. None of the games that came on it worked well either. She just liked to carry it around, show it off and hear all the cool ring tones.

Etymology: bomb (to fail, blow up), electronic
