Info Nympho

Someone who is obsessed with always being connected and up-to-date. Obsessive checking of email and blackberry usage and searching for wi-fi signals are good indicators.

My friend Dan is an Info Nympho. He always has his bluetooth in his ear and is constantly on his blackberry.

Infomercial Fail

To fail amazingly badly at a basic or simple task. Infomercials use this kind of exaggerated, highly unlikely failure to demonstrate the nonexistent or dubious "problem" the product in question supposedly solves (i.e. trying to crack an egg into a bowl and instead splattering egg and crushed shell pieces all over everything within three feet, hammering a nail into drywall and sending the hammer right through the wall, eating a sandwich and having its entire contents fall directly into your lap, etc.).

Just full-on infomercial failed at cracking an egg. Twice.
