n. (per-muh-smack) Word used to describe the phenomenon of permanence that occurs when someone says something nasty or hateful online and it becomes published.
Suzanne's dreams of making a difference by being a foster mother were dashed because of perma-smack someone published years earlier saying that she was a drunk.

Modern law will be shaped by cases involving perma-smack. While civil suits will pursue claims that a job was not awarded or a person was fired for perma-smack, criminal charges will be brought against cyber bullies who caused a young person's suicide.
