Any web site where, upon entry, hours of time collapse, sucked into infinity as you struggle to break free from the mesmerizing yet senseless, non-productive locale. Often seemingly innocuous on the outside and discovered quite by accident, Cyberspace Black Holes are known to cause unaccountable absences from work, school and important events, and should be considered particularly dangerous for the time-constrained and those who wish to keep their jobs.
After Billy had missed a week of work and no one had heard from him, police broke down his door fearing foul play only to find him sitting at his computer, dehydrated and malnourished but alive, laughing hysterically as he scrolled page after page of the Cyberspace Black Hole he had entered eight days earlier.

Ag•rif•fi•ti \ag-ruh-fee-tee\, noun, collectively refers to all man-made text, design, scene, image or other artistic expression or communication which has been purposely created, often on a very large scale, by the trampling, mowing, or other selective shaping action upon rooted vegetation, esp. farm crops, e.g. a wheat field. If done on property other than your own, or without permission or maliciously, this is generally illegal and the "artist" may be charged with 'aggravated agriffiti'. While this practice has become a popular 'trend', agriffiti has been found dating back as far as 400 A.D. Of importance, agriffiti should not be confused with similar instances found to have no explanation or thought to have been created by alien visitation; these are most often of a separate categorization called 'uforigami'. Both are usually best viewed from a high altitude, and frequent flyers crossing the mid-western plains of the USA are often witness to the spectacle.
As my N.Y. to L.A. flight was crossing over the plains of Kansas, our pilot made the curious announcement that passengers looking out the left side of the plane could wave to Dorothy and Toto, while passengers on the right could get a glimpse of Rhett Butler and Scarlett O'Hara; sure enough when I leaned to my window, there they were.... some movie buff had obviously gone to great trouble and effort creating two eighty-acre agriffiti scenes in the wheat fields below.

A person who signs up for internet service 'just for the convenience of email' who's friends and family soon begin planning an intervention to help them realize that the person is in total denial and unaware that they have become addicted to being online. Classic symptoms and changes in habit include withdrawal from outdoor activities, decline in personal hygiene, inability to keep appointments on time, dark circles under the eyes, and a propensity to run towards a computer every time a doorbell rings.
When Billy declined the free month-long vacation sailing the Caribbean with his family citing "spotty broadband access" as unacceptable living conditions, they could no longer look the other way; Billy was an AOL-ic.

net-skrap \noun\ Generic term used to loosely describe or in reference to internet 'debris', collectively including unresolved URL's, undelivered emails, incomplete orts of coding, and all other miscellaneous bits of erroneous data and directives uploaded or otherwise 'sent' to the World Wide Web (www) via the Internet which were never delivered, produced no result, or failed to cause an expected or intended action.
Similar to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, somewhere out there floating aimlessly in cyberspace we'll one day in the future discover a huge, galaxy-like mass of 'netscrap'; soon after we'll start the argument over who's going to pay to have it cleaned up!
