A term to descirbe someone who is utterly consumed with an
Apple iPod or any mp3/portable
music player.
Typically, they can be spotted with wires dangling from their ears and
may have a certain oblivious look to them. They tend to not realize they are the receipient of shouts of "Excuse Me" or "Hey, look where you're going."
They can usually be seen having a strange head bob, a body twitch and/or inexplicable movement of the lips. Occasionally, one
may even observe strange sounds eminating from the oral cavity that
may resemble some incomprehensible tune or lyrics. (This
may be a mating ritual.)
They also tend to measure
time not by a clock, but by battery life or amount of "juice" left.
Their most comfortable environment is the subway, but also may enjoy busy sidewalks or any place else they can ignore a crowd of people that has enveloped them.
The rest of the
time is spent hidden in their lair using every last penny of their rent, alimony, child support payments and drug money on "ear candy" from iTunes, Napster and other purveyors of aural delights.
Warning: Beware the ones that stare at you while shouting lyrics at the top of thier lungs- they are extremely dangerous!
"Excuse me. Excuse ME. EXCUSE ME. I'm trying to get off here. Goddamned podaholic!"
"I missed my
stop on the
subway. I couldn't get off the train because some podaholic was blocking the
way and couldn't hear me when I asked him to move."
