Any more suggestions? |
www.unwords.com is a site devoted to this. Some good ones there, like
pupkus: the moist residues left on a window pane after a dog presses its nose against it
telecrastination:the act of letting the phone ring at least twice even if you're sitting right next to it
mousturbate To constantly move the mouse in circular motion while clicking and browsing, thereby demonstrating your impatience with the computer. As in: "Bob, stop mousturbating." Also: mousturbating, mousturbation, mousturbator
