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."
