[Riga seems to be W class]
So, here’s the February edition of my Wired / Tired / Expired jargon watch overviews:
WIRED | TIRED | EXPIRED |
Your own Jura | Babychino at Starbucks | Nespresso (and ~ shops) – or – Latte macchiato (tie) |
(Since this blog is personal…) | Too wannabe hipster | George is getting really old, too |
Mainstream | Hipster | Hip, New, or whatever |
Since, you know, it’s the hipsters’ derogatory phrase for anything non-hipster that you can spread around anywhere like a cat spraying. | Is like (being) a lady: If you have to talk about it, you aren’t one. | You were young in some past millennium, maybe. |
Fisker Karma | Tesla S | Prius |
Just look at it! but I’m holding out for |
The sheer exclusivity of it drops just a little too much | Mehhh. Also, see this infographic |
Meanwhile… | Doge speak and starparodies | Rickrolling |
… anywhere where some give no […] as here and here or even here. | Much nonsense. So annoy. Very copy. | Only if done really right. |
Negging socmed | Competing socmed | Blue ocean (pretense) socmed |
The way to go; invite to be bought out i.e. sell out. | Harharhar, just give it a try. The new what, you are? | Oh, and you think not everything has been invented yet? |
Business suits (with or without tie; as long as the shirt is classy in itself not plain white no-iron (horror)) | Too open shirts and thinny V-neck sweaters with no shirt under them | Business shirts with no undershirt |
Classy will always be classy, will NOT go out of style | Petty pauvre posturing, with your breast hair not having recovered from the previous fad stupidity | Ewww! |
Wearable tech (Glass, via Toq and Gear, to Google lenses) | Layar | Hey, I have this new phablet and I’m too stupid to understand I’m a dork for showing off! |
They’re just hot, still. | It’s getting embedded, but the idea of ambient intelligence will certainly integrate with the Wired equipment. That it’ll be invisible, isn’t bad. Akamai is doing quite fine without anyone knowing… | Obnoxiousness sometimes is hard to ignore though we’ll try very hard |
Gamification | Risk-based control / security | Totalitarian SOx control |
So Wired it’s not figured out yet how this will change businesses throughout. | Mehhh, you cannot have progressed any further than the newspeak as no-one has, yet. And the idea is half-baked on many sides so may never work without much, (too) much compromise. | Only interesting for drones very below the ‘intelligent’ robot level. Stupid’s Delight. See Compliabullies and many posts before and after that. |
OK, any suggestions for next month’s edition ..?
