iHype

With all the talk about the new iPhone, I thought I'd check out Urban Dictionary.com to see what new iWords were out there.

Here are a few of my favorites:

• iPerbole - The hype surrounding anything Apple unveils
• iPauseworthy - Something worth pausing the iPod for (Sometimes it's hard to make the distinction between something that is and something that isn't.)
• iPeople - People who are so consumed in their iPod culture that they never are actually seen without earbuds in their ear, and an iPod proudly displayed. (I have one that I use at work when I need to concentrate and in the car, but I'm definitely not guilty of this.)

But no iHype blog would be complete without a few negative Urban Dictionary definitions of the iPod (I still love mine, though).
Here are a few:

• Everything wrong with western society contained within a small media player.
• The Most Expensive way to listen to music.
• Hard drive mp3 player whose only pro is it's aesthetic design.

This one, however, is my favorite.

• A device to offend the counter culture.
