Punding :
Punding is human activity characterized by compulsive fascination with and performance of repetitive, mechanical tasks, such as assembling and disassembling, collecting, or sorting household objects. For example, punding may consist of activities such as:
- Collecting pebbles and lining them up as perfectly as possible,
- Disassembling doorknobs and putting them back together again,
People engaging in punding find immersion in such activities comforting, even when it serves no purpose, and generally find it very frustrating to be diverted from them.
Punding is the result of dopamine overactivity. It is commonly associated with side effects of drugs used against Parkinson's disease and with the use of methamphetamine (in which context it is known as tweaking), which increases dopamine release and blocks its uptake.
In Parkinson's Disease it can be cured by lowering the medication dose, or adding (atypical) antipsychotics, which act by counteracting the effect of dopamine.
Punding is also similar to behaviors associated with autism.

Get the Jordan Pundik mug.A sports fan that relies on the most conventional opinion or intuition to predict the outcome of sporting events. Usually, this involves picking the team with the most popular players because of their assumed superiority over their opponents. The term draws off of drunken, opinionated barflies with antiquated knowledge of the sport in question. (abbrev. BSP)
ESPN.com writer and famous bar stool pundit Bill Simmons: "There's no way Brett Farve will fail to come through in the clutch. 24 interceptions this season? None of that will matter--it's the playoffs. The Vikings will win by 17."

Get the pundit mug.A punditiot is a typical pundit, or talking head commentator, on any given cable news channel. They lack IQs, yet believe that their opinions are gold.
The term itself is a cross between pundit and idiot.
Punditiots often have nothing of value to say, yet are labeled as "experts", get lots of air time and even decent salaries if they are hired on as regular contributors.
Punditiots can influence elections and frequently create memes, often false ones, that become political talking points... and even news. Yes, punditiots create their own news.
Dumbing down the electorate is their specialty.

Sarah Palin is now a Fox punditiot. She spouts her p.o.v., gets paid a lot of money, and is spotlighted regularly.
Yet, what she says is inaccurate and nothing more than world salad.
Same can be said for Pat Buchanan, Harold Ford, Ron Christie, Karl Rove, James Carville, William Kristol, John Fund, et al.
