Technobabble: /TEK-no-babl/ Lance is a techie dweeb and a social nerd so it just comes natural to him to sprinkle all kinds of technobabble in all of his conversations, a practice that really irritates his fiancé, Paula, as she is totally techno illiterate. Etymology: Blend of 'technology' (the branch of knowledge that deals with the creation and use of technical means and their interrelation with life) and 'babble' (To utter a meaningless confusion of words or sounds) Created by: Mustang.
Oneversation: /won ver say shun/ Sally knew that a conversation with Leonard was impossible due to his dependence on tecnical toys, so it would have to be another oneversation. They no longer had exchanges, they had x-boxchanges. They didn't dialogue, they monologued. Even their lovelife was virtual...virtually non-existant. She needed a real man to fill the droid-void of her present partner. Maybe she should try e-harmony??? Etymology: One (single, alone) & Conversation (the use of speech for informal exchange of views or ideas or information etc.) Created by: Nosila.
Pignore: /pig-nor/ John's wife would talk, and talk, and talk. But he didn't mind. He just pignored her, and nodded while he played hangman on his iphone. He didn't even notice when she unplugged it -- the batteries were still half full. And he had just figured out the last letter when she wrapped the cord tightly around his neck. Etymology: pi (the number 3.14159265, a symbol for techies)+ pig + ignore Created by: jrogan.

I like this definition. If there were a good word (or phrase, more likely) for this, I'd actually consider using it. Same with yesterday's.
Hey Erwin, Thanks for the complement on the definition. I appreciate your feedback! So which word are you going to use? Maybe Faultitasking or Digitalk? How about Flipversation? Or if you want something short -- Gabget? ~ James
