mouse fishing

It's like that thing, where you accidentally knock your mouse off your desk, and rather than reach down to get it, you just grab the cable and reel it back up, hand over hand.
Tony was too fat and lazy to set his laptop aside, so just grabbed the cable on the back and did some mouse fishing.

Petflix

1) A disc from Netflix that has been sitting in your home for over a month, meaning it is no longer just a movie but an addition to your household, and must be fed and watered.

2) Movies for your pet.
1) Al: "Hey, these DVDs have like an inch of dust on them. What's the deal?"
Bob: "Oh, I keep meaning to watch those. They've been sitting there six months, so at this point they're Petflix.

2) Cindy: "Oh honey, the dog gets so sad when we leave him here all day while we're at work."
Dan: "It's cool, baby, just put on some Petflix and that'll make him happy until quitting time."

Big 8

A now-defunct collegiate football conference in the U.S.

Formed in 1907 as the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the only charter members to still remain upon its dissolution in 1996 were the Tigers of the University of Missouri, the Cornhuskers of the University of Nebraska, and the Jayhawks of the University of Kansas.

Despite numerous changes in membership during its 89-year history, it kept its name (officially) throughout, and in fact still had eight members in 1996 when it dissolved, combining with remnants of the Southwest Conference to form the Big 12.

Though the Big 12 was only the Big 8 plus Baylor, University of Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech, the Big 12 did not claim the Big 8's history as its own, thus ending its existence.

Googlephobe

Someone reluctant, or downright afraid, to use google.com, the most popular search engine on the web. Whether their excuse is one of ignorance, fear, or anything else, this would all fall under the category of googlephobe.
Mick: Hey, I heard they caught a 110-pound coelacanth off the coast of Indonesia. I need to look that up on Yahoo.
Mike: Yahoo?! Man, quit bein' such a googlephobe.

Hashfic

Fanfiction written on Twitter. So named because of the common use of hashtags on Twitter, and the common contraction of Fanfic for fanfiction.
Remember that cancelled show "Studio 60?" Well years later it got new life when some person or persons created a Twitter account for every single character, who then proceeded to live-tweet their fictional jobs. Though not the first example of hashfic, it's certainly among the most elaborate.

tourerist

Amalgamation of "tourist" and "terrorist," a tourerist is a person or group of persons who exhibit reprehensible behavior while visiting a foreign country.
a) I watched in horror as a fat, unwashed American wearing a confederate-flag t-shirt shouted, "Look honey, it's the moaner-lisa!" and shoved past thirty people to gaze upon the famous painting. I thought, 'what a tourerist.'

b) Bob's cousin Heinrich was visiting from Germany, and could talk about nothing but how America is repressed, and greedy, and fat, and lazy. I told Bob his cousin was a damn tourerist.

c) When you're a guest in a foreign country or culture, you should learn the customs and some of the language, just as the locals should gently correct the guests if they commit any faux pas. If the locals do not do this, the they're letting the tourerists win.
