Upwait: /É™pwÄt/ Paul has to constantly upwait his fave web pages. He has made a rule for himself that he must upwait at least for a count of 3 between clicks.

Etymology: update (make something more modern or up to date) wait (stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens) Created by: artr.
Clicketytwit: /KLIK eh tee TWIT / Jan doesn’t need instant messaging capability because she is more inclined to clicketytwit her twitter page, Hotmail mailbox, and Facebook page in quick succession to see if she has any new messages. She doesn’t even remember what “real time” is anymore. She likes to rapidly clicketytwit on Evite to see “Who is Coming” or who has sent “Regrets” to her parties and gatherings. She was busy doing this one late morning, sitting around in her pajamas, when she suddenly realized one of the events she had posted an invitation for was her own wedding, and that it was about three hours later that same day! Etymology: Click + lickety-split (rapidly) + twit (could refer to twitter, or to a person who is a twit, take it however you like) Created by: karenanne.

Clicktomania: /click-to-main-ee-a/ Dan realized that Marcy’s clictomania had gotten out of control when he began to find mice hidden all over the house. It was obvious that her compulsive click-refresh, click-refresh behavior had worn them all out and she didn’t want anyone to know she had this condition. No matter what, he knew it was time to confront her with the evidence and look for some kind of intervention before she ended up in real trouble. Etymology: click + kleptomania: an obsessive compulsion to steal regardless of economic need Created by: mrskellyscl.
