Get the interection mug.Related Words
Moronic and meaningless buzzword to denote a video game of some kind. Originates in the days of the "interactive movie", a time of terrible experiments combining gameplay and video footage. Interactive movies quickly earned a much-deserved bad name for screwing up both the components that the name implies, so companies started using "interactive game" instead, hoping people were stupid enough not to notice.

"Look Johnny at this example of interactionism in Facebook. Do you see that little icon? That means he has read my message and because he knows I've seen him read it, it encourages him to a quick response, otherwise I'll assume he's ignoring me andI'll get angry at him. Interactionism at its finest Johnny boy."
