Nerdjacking / Bieberjacking
Completely dominating an already in-progress conversation with extreme and/or unnecessary detail about one’s passion (technology, celebrities, etc.), without awareness or acknowledgement of the listener’s rapidly waning interest, lack of understanding, and irritation about the subject at hand.
Example Usage:
Wife: “So, where do you want to eat tonight? I was thinking that…”
Son: “Ooh! I just installed Lion on the iMac. It’s pretty cool but it doesn’t have the kernel capacity of Snow Leopard. I’m thinking about installing Otter – it’s way more fun and gives me more multi-tasking capability and…”
Daughter: “Oh my gosh! Look at this! Justin Bieber just got a new haircut! It’s sooooo cute. Dad, you should get your hair cut this way. Well, maybe not, you don’t have much hair…”
Me: “OK – this is out of hand. Marc, quit nerdjacking our conversation. Lia, quit Bieberjacking Marc’s nerdjack.”
Here’s some more terminology that I know you’ll find immensely useful as you march through your day. Challenge yourself to use each of these in a conversation with some unsuspecting fool by bedtime.
