The Oxford Dictionary for Social Media - 12 Words not Making the Grade

Traditional world Oxford Dictionary received some new world buzz today by adding "unfriend" to its 2010 dictionary as a doff of the cap to the mainstreaming of our new fangled social web.

What they forgot to tell you were the 12 other words that didn't make the grade but were equally valid social media additions.

Characteritis - the inability to find the least important characters to ensure a tweet fits under the 140 character limit, particularly an issue  when trying to credit the initial author and retweeter addresses and still be content rich

Z-badge - the perhaps unfair branding and discrimination of people in social media as shallow who overuse "z" instead of "s" for either overzealous panache, unwise street cred or lack of mindfulness to grammar rules, likely deserved but superficial profiling nonetheless

Facebook Limbo - the inability to complete any task in Windows because a Facebook instant message is stuck sending to its intended recipient

Times Squaring 2.0 - frequently seen on blogs related to internet marketing, the over widgeting of blogs creating an uncoordinated patchwork quilt of colours, badges, ads and app. functionality where the actual content might be the least recognizable item on the page

Trojan Horse Vanity - the thanking of people only to ensure your own self-motivated messages get out to more people i.e. a tweet -"thanks @joan @jim @jack for buying my new best selling book, smart people like you make it all worthwhile"

Heavenly Hashtags - the creative use of hashtags (those things preceded by a #) i.e. #iwasateenageleroyfromFame #theanswerisalways43 #turkeyscanfly  #ifnakedatworkiswrong

Personal brand still in boxes - the appearance of a new member to a social network  with no profile picture, friends, posts or information - as when a person just moves into a house and has all furniture still in boxes a month alter

Prosciutto - if spam is malicious unwanted email and bacn is self-inflicted mail that is wanted but not well valued than prosciutto is the unexpected message that you really do want to receive and are surprised to see pop up

SlothReturns - the response to a friend who wants you to attend event/make a contribution/write a post or some other item requiring action, with a reply that expends the least amount of energy possible yet acknowledges receipt of message - i.e. "congrats XoXo" , on Facebook commonly the "like this" function for updates 

Jay Leno-ing - in social media terms, somebody who has way to much exposure for their own talent, not necessarily funny or insightful but remains in the public eye based on friend's support and establishment credibility @aplusk rings a bell

RonPauled - the initial fast growth of your community to 100 members in the hopes of going to 1 million only to be stuck at 253 three months later, named after libertarian Republican candidate for President in 2009 

Sajaking - somebody who is oversyndicating their content on way too many networks, polluting the web with the same boring stuff - named after the host Pat Sajak, host of the most syndicated show on TV Wheel of Fortune 

Any others worthy? If Oxford won't accept them, then maybe we'll just have to ask our old friend  Webster's to step in.
