Auding
(verb)
Definition:
A modern word that means listening to a book, especially in audiobook form, as a way of experiencing the story. It’s the audio-based counterpart to reading. If reading is for your eyes, auding is for your ears.
Coined from the word audio + the suffix -ing (like reading), auding gives the act of listening to a book its own identity—because it’s just as valid, immersive, and real.
Submitted by: J.R. DesJardins
Origin: From “audio” + “reading” = auding, coined to describe the act of consuming books through listening.

Get the Auding mug.The act of searching for old flames, lovers, flings, crushes, acquaintances, etc. on Facebook while intoxicated, which results in sending friend requests that you wouldn't typically send if you were sober. Very similar to drunk dialing.
I noticed you and Joe are now Facebook friends. How did that happen?
