link lazy

The state of being too lazy to click a link and read its associated content. The most common cause of link laziness is for one to be overwhelmed by the amount of information available on an online forum or news site. Someone who is link lazy would prefer to hover their arrow over a link title to view a brief snapshot of the content, in order to decide if the text or story is worth reading, rather than to click the link and read the whole post or article on its own page.

While skimming the news on Google, I ran across a link titled, "Mel Gibson Tells Jay Leno About His Eighth Child: 'I Guess I'm ...", and I just wasn't interested enough to read the rest of what he said. I'm so link lazy.

Lazy Link 

A hyperlink to a website typed in by an instant messenger chat member while chatting because he/she is too lazy to actually open up a browser, type in the url, and click enter.

This phrase was first coined by Acid Burnz because too many of his msn contacts asked him why he typed random url's into the chat menu. He replied with a succinct: <<It's a LL>>. But noone ever understood. So he had to give it's true definition and hope that all chatters will oneday follow suit

Evan: hey Karan, check out what's on urbandictionary

Karan: orly?
Karan: www.urbandictionary.com

Evan: WTF? Dude, i already know teh url, duh...

Karan: man, haven't you heard? it's a lazy link

Evan: uh, what's that

Karan: never mind, i'll make an entry on urbandictionary

Evan: sweet!
