Tech lingo (nerd talk)

[150_cav]

there was a time when "gay" ment happy and "lol" ment you couldn't spell. Technology has changed our way of talking, what is some new words we say that just a couple of years ago had a different meaning?

root- used to mean a part of a plant
sexting- now means to text dirty, used to mean nothing
droid- used to mean something to do with star wars, now it means a phone

iPhone used to be a Cisco device, now it's a shiny turd

 

[The_Verse]

3g used to be a measurement.

 

[OfTheDamned]

Gay still means happy.


Only slightly tech related, but more forum and grammar nazi related:

Irregardless - It used to mean absolutely nothing and still really does.
Deceptively - Still used by people and still doesn't really mean anything.



Reality used to be where most of us lived. Now it is a type of tv show.
