Do you know your ding from your bling?

I've just read about a new app for a phone which translates teenage slang words and phrases. Here's some of the faves:

Dissociative Facebook identity disorder - Someone whose Facebook image and real life image is completely at odds

Geekstress - A female geek. These can be very intimidating to teenage boys, especially attractive ones

Googleheimer's disease - You know what you want to search for on Google, but by the time you reach your computer you have completely forgotten what it was. Who are you again?

Hiberdating - Someone who suddenly drops all their other friends when they start dating

Hot mess - Someone who is flustered, dishevelled and maybe short of time but radiates a certain sensuality

Meaty - Good. “That track is meaty, dude.” Seldom applied to vegetarian dishes, however tasty – teens don't tend to do irony

Powerpuff presentation - A presentation that is full of animation and fancy graphics but completely devoid of any substance

Premake - The original version of a song that a modern band has remade or redone. The teen will often doubt the existence of the premake

Screen saver - The blank and sometimes blissful expression that sometimes comes across a person's face when daydreaming

Woteva - Whatever – a catch-all phrase often signifying reluctant agreement

Now I know what's wrong with me: I've got Googleheimer's disease and I often have a screen saver expression. x:shock: I hope that not too many of my posts are Powerpuff presentations, but oh well, wotever x:!: x

Actually, Julie, I just saw on Ron's thread that you are 48, so you are still a spring chicken, unlike me x
