IH8 MY JITTERBUG
This has been a frustrating 2 hours for me. All of a sudden, my cell phone screen popped up with something similar to this:
Phone: Type in your Google password
Me: (password)
Phone: Type in an email address and collect a texted code.
Me: (email address)
Phone: Type in the code we sent.
Me: (code)
Phone: Type in your latest Google password.
Me: (Password)
Phone: Type in the email address related to your Google account.
Me: (email address)
Phone: Create a new password and verify it.
Me: (new password and verification)
Phone: Type in an email address related to your Google account.
Me: (email address again)
Phone: Type in your latest Google password.
Ditto.. all of this 4 or 5 times, and then:
Me: Yelling "Go to Hell!" as I threw the phone through the kitchen window.
Luckily I have two tech-savvy children and a tech-savvy grandson to put me back on the "straight and narrow."
Sniglets
Comedian Rich Hall developed Sniglets for a 1980;s show called: "Not Necessarily the News. A Sniglet is "an often humorous word made up to describe something for which no dictionary word exists."
Professor Curnan talked about Sniglets in today's lecture. She gave the following examples:
snacknosphere = the air taking up 95% of the space in a bag of potato chips.
nurge = as cars get closer to the red turning green, this is the movement some drivers make to get a jump start on the other drivers.
cyclophobia = fear of bicycles.
mustgo = something important on your calendar.
toastaphobia = fear of dropping a fork into the top of your toaster.
musquirt = that squirt of mustard that takes place as you try to urge mustard out of the bottle.
intaxication = the elation you feel when you get a tax refund, until you stop and think about the amount of tax you did pay.
bozone = the substance that surrounds jerks and keeps them from getting ideas.
