data phishing

To start with a small piece of data which you use to find a bigger piece of data, similar to using a minnow to catch a mackerel in 'actual' fishing.

Someone used my Social Insurance number for data phishing and now i have a bunch of bogus credit card charges in my name.

Dataesthetics

A portmanteau of "data" and "aesthetics", meaning:
A set of principles concerned with the nature and appreciation of the beauty of visual arrangements of data, e.g flowcharts, infographics, and other data visualization media.

Living in the Information Age, where vast quantities of information are being researched, archived, and shared at every second, dataesthetics must be established to ensure that information is displayed beautifully, intuitively and efficiently.

datafaced

The sensation or lack thereof that is attained from sitting for long periods of time staring into your computer monitor for data maintenance purposes

I've been sitting here so long, I can't feel anything below my neck, and above only a slight tremor in my eyes...I'm totally datafaced.

databagel

A databagel is a packet type specified by RFC-9001-A in conjunction with Cookies.js in order to define the breakfast layer of the Transport Protocol. Databagel is an extension of HTCPCP (Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol) as specified in RFC 2324.

It is also noted in DOD 5220.22-M that the only way to permanently delete a databagel is to drag it to your mouth bin.

"This databagel goes best with schmear.class which is only available in coffee script, which is perfectly fine since my HTCPCP-enabled smart coffeepot already supports it."

"I was going to write this in applescript but decided to use databagel instead this morning."

dataholic

Addicted to data - its collection, use, organisation, etc - in the sense of "the fundamental interconnectedness of all things" as made use of by Dirk Gently, a character created by Douglas Adams.

It's no good, I'm a dataholic - I see someone's contact details and I can't help wanting to add them to the database.
