    Valleyspeak: "Not safe for coffeeshops"

    The language is wilting. Time for a new batch of words.

    • Not safe for work? Try "not safe for coffee shops" — NSFCS. Brought to you by Web 2.0 satire blog Supr.c.ilio.us.
    • The same blogger coined Starbucking — the act of telecommuting from a café.
    • Notice today's three dot-com buyouts — JotSpot, Reddit, and whatever that dinky travel site was? That's a clusterpluck.
    • Classic videos about computers and the Internet, especially ones with visible VHS artifacts in the recording (like this one) are media kitsch.
