Blogcabulary

I am fascinated with this new trend of incorporating "blog" into other words to make new terms. I learned the word "moblog" this morning, which apparently means a blog that you can download on your cell phone. There's also blawg (a blog about the law), blaudience, and blogosphere.

Here's a little bit of what we have to look forward to:

Blired: (adj.) having been let go from your place of employment due to excessive blog-checking.

Blogsessed: (adj.) characterized by an inability to visit your ex's blog less than fifty times a day.

Blego: (n.) the belief that people care about your blog as much as you do.

Blogstracted: (adj.) completely unable to focus on more pertinent matters because of ever-present internet access.

EX: Mary's take-home midterm on Renaissance poetry is due in two hours but, tragically, she is too blogstracted to finish it.

Blaux pas: (n.) a social blunder made via blogging.

Ablortion: (n.) the morning-after deletion of a blog post you mistakenly made when you were young and drunk.
