Chameleonline<\/strong>: \/kam mee lee on lyne<\/em>\/ As if trying to learn and keep up with modern computer technology is not hard enough for older people, every now and then some punk, somewhere in the world, throws out a morphing virus or bug. These types change constantly and therefore are called chameleonline viruses. Maybe we will eventually have the technology to track these viral vandals down and make them pay for the inconvenience and damage done to other people’s PC’s. In our lifetime… Etymology:<\/em> Chameleon (lizard of Africa and Madagascar able to change skin color; a changeable or inconstant person) & Online (controlled by or connected to a computer(of an activity or service) available on or performed using the Internet or other computer network)

Morphection<\/strong>: \/m\u00c3\u00b4rfeksh\u00c9\u2122n<\/em>\/ Allen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life became a nightmare when his computer was beset by a morphection. This nasty little gremlin would alter its function every day. On Monday the chime that announced new e-mail was replaced by the theme from Green Acres. On Tuesday anything he tried to put in the trash was rejected by Oscar the Grouch. Wednesday brought with it a multitude of NSFW images to his desktop background. Thursday\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s treat was a pop-up advertising Viagra that wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be deleted because it floated around the screen just ahead of the cursor. Friday was the scariest of all. When he opened his backpack to retrieve his laptop, Allen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s ThinkPad had replaced itself with a Commodore C64. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Etymology:<\/em> morph (to change from one form to another) + infection (the presence of a virus in, or its introduction into, a computer system) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Mubugtate<\/strong>: \/mew-bug-tait<\/em>\/ People who mubugtate at parties always end up alone and locked in the bathroom either vomiting or counting the bathroom tiles. Computers who mubugtate at parties always end up being crashed through the window or locked in the bathroom vomiting. Etymology:<\/em> mutate + bug (as in virus, and to annoy) Created by:<\/em> remistram.<\/p>\n
