22 Social Media Terms Redefined (Just For Fun)

My point of view on life is that if you can’t take a step back and laugh at yourself once and a while, then you have no right to be living the life you’re living. Keeping that in mind, we all live in a fairly geeky world. The social media community is filled with techies and nerds alike… and we all have to admit that we have a pretty unique vocabularly! So here’s my way to poke fun at our geeky lingo.

22 Social Media Terms Redefined:

1. Skype – “Silly Hype” Hype that is rediculous or silly in nature.

6. Ning – A “Ding” sound in the key of “N#”
7. Slideshare – The act of sliding in order to share with someone.
8. Twitter – Part of the insult, “You’re twitterer than I am!” Referencing that one persoon is more of a twit than another.

Again… if you can’t laugh at your life, you have no right to be living it! I hope you enjoyed poking fun at our culture as much as I did.  🙂  (If you still haven’t cracked a smile yet, go google image search the phrase “Topeka Google” and start smiling!)
