Virginia Tech'd

to be caused death or injury by someone who has endured much aggravation or provocation up to and finally over the edge. The person executing the Virginia Tech has lost control and is hellbent on destrathroy'ing fools.

Back in the 90s, this person would be said to have gone postal, but now postal has lost its edge and a more contemporary, rugged version must be incorporated.

Carl: pfff, what a worthless day.
Hub: bet your day wasn't as bad as Roger's.
Carl: why? what up with Roger?
Hub: his wife got knocked up by some kid and he Virginia Tech'd the whole family with an air hammer! skull fragments embedded in the fake Rembrandt!
Carl: (laughs so hard coffee comes out his nose) oh snap!!!

or present tense:

STOP TOUCHING ME OR I'LL TELL MOM!!!! She'll go Virginia Tech on your honky butt.

techdependant

When a person all the time relies on other people instead of reading the manual or help section to help figure out a tech device.

This is the forth time this week. You have to stop being so techdependant. The power button is on the front of the device, yes, remember, push it in with your finger, then release.

My phone has a camera and a Bluetooth and I can get email and listen to music, I just wanted a cell phone. Not to be so techdependant but could you show me how to use all those?

I lost my mobile phone and my laptop, I'm tech disabled.

techblock

When an electronic device is used as a shield from flirting. For example, when an opportunity occurs (eye contact, adjacent sitting), the potential person shifts attention to their gizmo (fiddling on an iPod, texting on cellphone, opening a netbook).

Paul: "Tom, why don't you say something to that cute redhead?"
Tom: "She already techblocked me when I looked over at her & smiled, then she whipped out her smartphone"
