SXSW Mischief - Part Dos
Words that should exist but don’t yet:
Social Bulimia: Used to describe the phenomena of excessive social behavior followed by immediate purging of such behavior via blog/conversation/flickrphotoposting/etc. Immediately followed by a short refractory period of social anorexia.
You will not see me in public on purpose for a few days at least as I let my voice recover.
Shwag Camel: During a converence or similar event, while protesting kindly that one is “Teeshirt agnostic” and thereby not intending to accidentally endorse a particular company or brand, slowly acquire a healthy collection of new web 2.0 teeshirts and similar shwag to wear once one get backs home. Well, if you live in SF anyone. If you live outside of the bay area where such geekery is still vaguely shunned, you produce pillowcases from the shwag teeshirts or wear them to the gym or to sleep or to pack as appropriate clothing for the next duely appropriate tech converence.
MJ’ed: A purely transparent, if temporary and transient social network tagging application delivered by Ms. Min Jung Kim via kiss on the cheek or forehead. A satirical delivery in a community obsessed with social networks, microformats, and free booze.
More Cowbell: Defies defnition. Just know that you need it. Seriously.
