NetLingo: beepilepsy

Another word of the today from tech dictionary site NetLingo – this time it’s:

beepilepsy

The brief seizure people sometimes suffer when their beepers go off, especially in vibrator mode. Characterized by physical spasms, goofy facial expressions, and stopping speech in mid-sentence.

Ha ha ha! This one made me chuckle, mainly because I’ve seen it SO many times in meetings! Not so much with beepers these days of course, but with phones that people have set to silent, for fear incurring the wrath of their boss! The random body jerks that occur always liven up a dull meeting

You can check out all that is tech-terminology, from the site that is Netlingo, here.
