ExCELLent! (What? Someone had to say it...) Fits the definition perfectly. - Tigger, 2008-06-10: 10:30:00
You may joking about the surgery, but I bet this will be really happening within five years. And so the "me generation" will be ultimately be replaced by the "celphcentered generation". - wordmeister, 2008-06-10: 13:40:00
So very well constructed. - OZZIEBOB, 2008-06-11: 08:09:00

Cellout
Created by: Stevenson0
Pronunciation: cell/out
Sentence: Brian's rudeness was abounding. Whenever he got a call, he would cellout, totally ignoring the person he was with. Cellout behaviour is the twenty-first century's virtual slap in the face. Cellout is uncivil, uncultured, boorish, tasteless, insensitive, disrespectful, ill-mannered, loutish, discourteous and just damn plain rude and impolite.
Etymology: cell + sell out

Nokiavoid
Created by: rebelvin
Pronunciation: NOKIa+AVOID

Gallowsbeaver
Created by: Bulletchewer
Pronunciation: gal-ohs-bee-ver
Sentence: We were keenly discussing the Tolkien references in Zeppelin's music, when Robert's mate Jimmy phoned; and of course the gallowsbeaver had to ramble on, seemingly forgetting our presence.
Etymology: From "gallows" which leaves people hanging, and "beaver" used to mean someone who is eager, and "dam" rude. Boom boom. Also "beavers" in Scouting are the youngest members, giving my word connotations of "childish".
