scrapblog

(n.) - a highly-personal blog, often for invited readers only, that is more like a scrapbook than a normal blog.
"Yeh, I have a blog, but it's more of a scrapblog than a blog, because it's mostly just photos and links and quotes I like to collect, just for my own use. It's like a scrapbook on a blog platform, that's all, so I call it my scrapblog!"

Avauntcular

(adj.)

A woman is described as "avuncular" when she stops looking like a sexual entity and starts looking like her Aunt Betty.
"At my age, with my looks going into their middle-aged stretch, my nieces and nephews now look at me with wonder and refer to me as their 'avauntcular' auntie. I love it!"

chyron

(n.) - television graphics that occupy the lower area of a TV screen, originally coined by the Chyron Corporation which develops and manufactures on-screen graphics; now a commonly-used term for such graphics on TV broadcasts worldwide
"I hate it when the chyron is spelled wrong or contains a grammatical mistake. I often see such chyron mistakes on CNN. Sometimes I think the guys who run the TV control rooms can't spell!"
