Digital Howard

An obscure magician’s misdirect. Dates back to the late 1800’s, invented by William Radley and named after famed magician Howard Thurston. Involved creating a spectacle to draw people’s attention, and then using deft pickpocketing skills (digits) to nick as many valuables as possible while people were distracted.

If I tap you on the right shoulder so you look right, and then steal your wallet out of your left pocket, that's a Digital Howard

Digitally Acquainted

Social Media term for interacting with someone on a friend level that you have only known through their social media interactions. The interaction occurs only because they are friends or relations of someone you have met physically or someone you met online through a game or other outlet but with whom there is two way interaction.

i am digitally acquainted with Jim. We met as part of a team in Space Race 2000 and message quite frequently.

pity digits

A phone number you give/get from a girl/guy the morning after you sleep with him/her even though you have absolutely no intention of calling him/her ever again, but it makes the whole goodbye thing way less awkward

I hooked up with a girl last night; she was annoying and I never want to see her again, so the next morning I got some pity digits when I dropped her off so it wouldn't be weird.

Digital Vitiligo

When the media uses people of colour in ads, magazines, etc. and lightens their skin in an effort to be more "marketable" read: white and "appealing" read: white to a larger white audience.

This process lightens the skin so much that the person in question bears little resemblance to a real person of colour and is obviously fake.

"Did you see Rihanna on the cover of Vogue? It looks like she has digital vitiligo..."

"Why do Venus and Serena Williams look about 4 shades lighter than normal in the new iPhone commercial?"

Digital Renaissance

The era where information and ideas were easily accessible in the age of computers that started with the beginning of the Internet in 1995. A new enlightenment age, like the original Renaissance era of the 14th to 17th centuries, where art and culture thrive. A time where old and new ideas are revisited and reshaped to lead humanity into the next era all across the world.

We are living in the Digital Renaissance.

"Hopefully, after the Digital Renaissance era, people wouldn't be as stupid."

"Sorry Dave, you're wrong."
