Well tomorrow is Podcamp and over the next few weeks I’ll be attending webinars… so that brings me to my first blog topic. Neologisms. If language is an art, then neologism is contemporary art and a good one for me is just as memorable as a trip to a gallery.

Here are some of my favourites…

Californication: Mindless sprawl.

Hasbian: Once a lesbian… not so much anymore… hasbian.

Green Collar Jobs: Jobs created by the environment sector.

Blamestorming: Collectively trying to figure out who to blame.

Mouse Potato: A sedentary lifestyle of laptops.

Starter Marriage: No kids, no mortgage… no problem. It was a test run.

Chindia: The eastern economic superpower.

Jumping The Shark
