internets

George W Bush's name for the internet. It's mentioned in one of the other definitions on this page that his usage is correct. This is purely accidental. Coming from someone who was frighteningly intelligent and a brilliant orator, one might be tempted to give him the benefit of the doubt. But coming from someone who is profoundly unable to form sentences, say 'nuclear', ride bikes, ride Segways or eat pretzels, it's safe to assume that this is just another in a long line of oratorical train wrecks for poor old Bush Jr.

orig.: 'I hear there's rumors on the internets..'

contemp.: 'lol internets'

Internetiquette

The act of using proper etiquette (manners) while online, especially on social networking sites.

Whoa! That dude just posted 6 pics up of Judy, and they just met earlier this afternoon! What a freak. He needs to learn some internetiquette.

the internets

An intentional mangling of (the) internet used for ironic effect as a humorous reference to the large segment of the population that remains clueless about technology. Now a popular malapropism, "the internets" meme exploded after the second televised Bush-Kerry debate held prior to the 2004 Presidential election. Blogs and Television, especially The Daily Show, bear much of the responsibility for the initial propagation of "the internets" as it is currently used.

When asked about the seeming inevitibility of a draft, the President replied, "I hear there's rumors on the Internets (sic) that we're going to have a draft..."

Internetless 

Having no way of connecting or accessing the internet, so being left 'internetless'.

I was on the train to Coventry yesterday and the carriages didn't have wi-fi internet so I was totally internetless!
