Tech-Tourettes

Tech-Tourettes or Tech-Turrets: Noun

A condition where a technology challenged person (usually advanced in age) uses obscenities uncontrollably, while attempting to complete various transactions on a mobile, laptop, or other technology device. The person may also uncontrollably twitch, scowl, flip off, throw, or crush the device during an episode.

My mom’s Tech-Tourettes caused her to throw her iPhone across the room today, when she couldn’t pull up her email.

Bob is unable to connect to the database today. His tech-turretts is offensive to some, but it cracks me up.

Me: "My hippie girl and I are no where near rich cat! Thanks to Hippie Tech like 4G, twitter, blogs, etsy, eBay and virtual commuting/contracts we can do whatever the hell we want, wherever and whenever! You grok me brother?"

Guy: "Far out man!"
