tomagotchi

Originally, this was the electronic egg-shaped toy from Japan. (Sooooooo 1997!) It was the first in the trend of virtual pets.

Now the word can be used in a different manner. It can be used to describe a person. When calling someone a "Tomagotchi," you're basically saying that they're needy. Usually needy in an annoying fashion. This, of course, pays homage to the original toy's constant beeping due to wanting virtual food or other things...

"Leo's girlfriend is such a tomagotchi!"

Tamagotchied

Tamagotchied (verb, slang):
To find yourself in a relationship that exists almost entirely in the virtual world—through video calls, texts, and online interactions—where one partner treats the other like a digital companion. The connection may feel constant and intimate online, but any attempt to bring the relationship into the physical, real-world space is rejected. The partner essentially keeps you as their “virtual boyfriend/girlfriend,” similar to how one cares for a Tamagotchi: always present on-screen, but never truly real.

“Yeah, we talked every day and it felt like we were dating, but when I tried to meet up, she shut it down. I realized I’d just been Tamagotchied.”
