I’m famous again!

From Online Spin » Blog Archive » Advertising Terminology 2.0, about Addictionary.org:

Some of the funnier ones that I came across on the site were terms like “wiitard,” which refers to a person who is incapable of holding a Nintendo Wii properly and even less capable of playing a game on the console (It might refer to me, but who’s telling). Another term that I found humorous was “adnausea,” which refers to a feeling of sickness or discomfort in the stomach prompted by excessive advertising. I sometimes have this feeling when visiting sites that still employ pop-ups and pop-under ads, both of which have served to give online advertising a bad name in recent years.

Thanks to Fastgrrrl for the heads-up.
