Churf
Created by: silveryaspen
Pronunciation: churf

He was a grand master of the churf!
Etymology: CH for Channeling, u for you, and urf for surf = CHURF ... meaning CHANNELING YOUrself while YOU SURF among your electronic devices. Does churfing make a person a churf serf (slave to their electronic devices), too?
