@tracykitty123: Today was awesome! 22 new friends - all on Facebook. I had a great Skype with my colleagues in Germany, Britain and China. I completed my online course in SEO. And, the topper, I was introduced to Deepak Chopra via LinkedIn today! Now I'm going to decompress by getting naughty in a chat room on Livelinks! Can't wait until I get to do it all again tomorrow!

Get the Cyberfly mug.An phrase that pseudo-intellectuals, brownnosers or sycophants use to elevate themselves intellectually to another by pretending they think or believe the same as they do when in fact so-called "great minds" set themselves apart from others because they really DON'T think like everyone else.
Intellectual: Since the 1950's, the whole of modern western civilization is based off of one driving concept - consumerism! It is the the reason for all the social ills of modern society. Despite the obvious advances in technology in medicine, agriculture, communications, engineering, and alternative energy we as a people are held back because the power rests in the few with the financial and political influence to keep money where is always has been. This rise in technology should be bettering the minds of the masses, but actually is made to anesthetize them and keep them complacent and lethargic.
Pseudo-intellectual: OMG!! Like...wow! I just said the same thing to my friends at the country club yesterday! I say you can get the same quality with Gucci that they get with Prada for less money. But nobody seems to listen. And...ya know...it sooo, like, frustrating? Great minds think alike, right?
Intellectual: *looks down his nose* You're not even in the same conversation.

Search engines and marketing companies have gathered and sorted 90% of all information on our habits ever created by our species in just the past 2 years and 10% of all photographs taken in the history of cameras and videos where taken in 2011 all from the electronic devices which we are either unable or unwilling to live without.

Girl: Hey did you see those crazy photos I posted on Facebook? Sexy, right?
Boy: No.

Get the rat in a maze mug.A condition of convenient memory loss that affects political candidates at election time. This is an chronic condition stemming from being an incurable asshole or insufferable idiot but one can still seek treatment since ObamaCare covers pre-existing conditions such as this.
Warning from the Surgeon General:
Romnesia is an unfortunate, chronic condition affecting 9 out of 10 politicians during election campaigns
Symptoms are: forgetting one's original political stances, pandering, short-term memory loss, long-term memory loss, voter confusion, flip-flopping, plagerizing others' ideas and speaking in Palin-dromes. Symptoms maybe be exacerbated when addressing crowds, during televised interviews or debating.

Get the Romnesia mug.From an ill advised Newsweek cover from the on the Sept. 24th, 2012 issue for featuring of picture (two angry muslim men), the subject (free-speech), and the title (Muslim Rage). Newsweek's overdramatisization of this article cuased the hashtag to be hi-jacked with humorous comments by muslims on Twitter with caption-like comments followed by the phrase "MuslimRage" on Twitter.
Woman in Burqa: "I'm having such a good hair day. No one even knows. #Muslim Rage".
"Lost your kid named Jihad at the airport. Can't yell for him. #MuslimRage".
"Head & Shoulders still hasn't made a beard conditioner. #MuslimRage".
"Memo to those few violent MidEast protesters, this is how you fight Islamophobia. You make fun of it.
#MuslimRage".

Get the Muslim Rage mug.When an organization or community is doing poorly enough that its smartest people, seeing the writing on the wall, leave for better opportunities elsewhere. This is common in business and other organizations that perpetuate a common goal or mission and once purged it typically accelerates the demise of the organiztion.
For example: Facebook's poor stock performance since it's IPO and lack of favorable stock options for employees puts them at risk of brain drain. Many will likely head over to Google or Apple, but they'll be in trouble.

Mark Zuckerberg: Sheryl, can find me those repots on Zynga's...Hey?! Why are wearing a Google sweatshirt?!
Sheryl Sandberg: Sorry Mark. We had a good run, but your lack of focus on ad revenue and overvalued IPO has caused this drop in FB stock value with no end in sight. I and the others are leaving before the stock tanks.
Mark Z: The others? They're all leaving Facebook? You can't! We'll never survive this brain drain!
Sheryl: Yeah, sorry. You should've thought about that before going public.
