A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one’s real and one’s declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink. In our age there is no such thing as “keeping out of politics”. All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred, and schizophrenia. When the general atmosphere is bad, language must suffer. -George Orwell, writer (1903-1950)

E-gíria 2.0
Caros colegas aqui vão alguns termos do quotidiano blogista e netista para que quandos ouvirem já saberem o que é, tirados do newscientisttech :
Blog streaking - Revealing secrets or personal information online, which for everybody's sake would be best kept private
Crackberry - The curse of the modern executive, not being able to stop checking your BlackBerry even at you grandmother's funeral
Cyberchondria - A headache and a particular rash at the same time? Extensive online research tells you it must be cancer
Egosurfing - When "just checking" gets out of control
Infornography - You're beyond being a healthy "infovore": acquiring and sharing information has become an addiction for you
You Tube narcissism - Not even your closest family want to see hours of your holiday videos
Google-stalking - Snooping online on old friends, colleagues or first dates
MySpace impersonation - Many of us pretend to be someone we're not when we are online, but some will pretend to be a well-known figure
Powerpointlessness - One too many flashy slides
Photolurking - Flicking through a photo album of someone you've never met
Wikipediholism Excessive devotion to a certain online collaborative encyclopedia. You can test whether you're an addict at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Are_You_a_Wikipediholic_Test
