A very interesting neologism; thank you for the detailed definition.

Another neologism, though not one as complex or as interesting, which I've come across recently: "humble bragging"

;)

[theidolhands]

UGH. Yes! The humble-brag, not a fan of that either. Please define that too, if you'd like!

[med_cat]

Yeah...why don't you define it, for your next post? Would you like to? :)

I smiled the entire time I read this entry, but it still all makes me feel a bit tired and sad.

Then I will tell you the happiest, saddest story in the world..."This too shall pass."

The world has done all this before, and it will do it again, but for a while someone is victorious before the real chaos starts up again.

Hey, maybe World War III will actually be on the Internet and we can invite all our cats!

*Mr. Burns voice* I'll bide my time....

"Bide a wee, and dinna fret"...;)
