A jealous obsession felt by the few who, when around their friends who all have iPhones, have a fear of missing out on the many advantageous entertainment methods an iPhone has to offer over 'ye olde mobiles'.
(Two friends sitting on the same couch playing 'Words with Friends'...whilst a third friend sits in between, only with his primitive 'button phone' to keep him entertained)

Friend 1 (iPhone): Bullshit, there's no way what you just sent is a word, you made that up!....(enters a reply word to Friend 2). Suck on this fgt!

Friend 2 (iPhone): Haha you idiot, you're guessing this shit as much as I am!

Friend 3 (Non-iPhone): -_- (wondering wtf is going on) ...man I got some serious iFomo.

An overzealous person who is willing to pay top dollar for an Apple product as soon as it becomes available. They have been known to stand in line for hours, even camp out at a retail store, to try to be the first person to buy a newly-released Apple product.
Leaira: Hey, Jordan, look at all those people lining up by the door! What's going on?

Jordan: Oh, the new iPhone is coming out at midnight tonight. They want to be the first people to get one.

Leaira: Hahaha! That's crazy! Don't they know these things will be obsolete in like 6 months and they'll come out with something else?

Jordan: I'm sure some do, but I guess they want to be able to brag that they have one. What a bunch of iFools!

Leaira: Yeah, no doubt! In a year they won't even be able to give these things away on eBay!

isomorphism

Abstract algebra: Take a group G, and a group H, with a group operation *. G is isomorphic to H if there exist a map f: G->H such that:

1: f is injective
2: f is surjective
3: f(a*b)=f(a)*f(b) for all a,b in G

If f satisfies these three properties, f is called an isomorphism.
The map f: Z -> E given by f(a)=2a where Z is the integers and E is the even integers is an isomorphism.

Proof:
Showing injectivity

f(b)=f(a) => 2a=2b (from the given function) <=> a=b

Showing surjectivity
Suppose n is in E. n is an even integer hence n=2k for some integer k.

f(k)=2k=n, hence f is surjective.

Homomorphism:
f(a+b)=2(a+b)=2a+2b=f(a)+f(b)

Hence f is an isomorphism. Q. E. D.

So like, the fear of missing out (FOMO) but for information. This can be any piece of information--from gossip, to a story, to a scientific fact, or more.
"I know something you don't know."
"Dude, tell me."
"I'll tell you the next time I see you."
"No! Now I have infomo, you gotta tell me."

Isomorphic JavaScript 

A JavaScript application which can be executed in both a browser and a non-browser runtime. This was the first term used to describe this concept, but "Universal JavaScript" now has wider acceptance. Mathematicians and functional programmers will scoff at you if you use "isomorphic" to describe JavaScript, so save face by using "universal" instead.
You aren't writing isomorphic JavaScript? Ha, you remind me of my old Java coworkers.
