Beware the Link Puker!

I found this hilarious and apt post about a common problem in social networks: the guy who sends random messages with a bunch of links, and obviously doesn't know you. This author came up with the perfect description: the Link Puker. I just had to share that term.

Now all we need is Link Puker Repellant.

Link puker, I like that. That should be added to the Internet Lexicon of Terms, along with "troll" and "cat macro."

That's exactly what I thought. I love well-crafted neologisms, and that one is a gem. It's precise, vivid, funny, apt, memorable, and pronouncable.

Hey thanks for sharing that comment from my blog.

The latest thing that happened to me is even WORSE than the usual link-puker.

A guy from India sent a blast through Facebook to a bunch of women, including me, looking for a marriage partner.

I was the victim of a mass remote proposal! YUCK!

Okay, that is worse. That's horrible!

Thanks for dropping by my blog, though.
