Invent a new term
« on: May 15, 2006, 11:33 AM »
Here's a new term i've invented.  Feel free to post your own.

markeshar - adjective used to define any service which has no non-trivial advantages over its competitors but is simply dominant because it has a big market share advantage. May also be used as a noun to refer to any such service.

example:
"their website sucks in every way but it's a markeshar site, so there is no point trying to compete with them"

Returd - Adjective. Derogatory. An idiot; moron; simpleton; one who is stupid. Also, funny to think about the literal meaning.

Example Dialogue:
Returd: Should I try printing on white paper instead of yellow paper?
Rude Person: YOU ARE SUCH A RETURD!
Returd: OGM LOLZ!!!!1
