My Addition to the English Language

My time here on SG has inspired me to create a new word:

Freshurbating : verb. Furiously refreshing a web page to see if it has been updated or changed.

Discuss.

Is there a 12-step program?

I like to freshurbate my friggin' brains out. Especially to threads that I start.

Well, it's more of a three step program

Step 1: Load web page
Step 2: Glance over web page
Step 3: Refresh web page

Step 3 becomes Step 1, and the cycle continues.

No, silly, I meant to stop the addiction!

Why the hell would you want to do that?

Because you hate the baby Jesus?

In hindsight, maybe the Silliness board was not the right place to start this thread.

I was just going to ask...is this a thread or Steve's journal?

I thought this was phone tag

I'm sure at any moment someone else is going to stumble on this thread with some insightful comment about how this new term can be used in their daily lives.

any moment now....

frehurbating....

c'mon. I know you're out there...

If you start it, they will come.

Who, me?

You know, I was just thinking how I could really use a term like this in my life. Suddenly, things don't seem so bad anymore. There's a light on the horizon and that light is freshurbating. Or, as we call it in the hood where I live, F-bating.

when i start a threads i duck and run for cover

Dirty dirty fresherbators...

Hello. My name is Nick
(Hi Nick)

And I...I.....I'm sorry this is hard for me.
I freshurbat. I do it a lot. It seems like I am freshurbating all the time now.
Please help me.

So instead of going blind...do you lose all feeling in your hands if you do it too much?

Baby Jesus was one of the worst freshurbaters of them all, you know.

there was a guy i knew on here who has since been zotted who told me that he once sat at the random image generator page and refreshed it so many times that SG pegged his IP as that of some sort of bot, and blackballed him from the entire domain for, like, a week

I just freshurbated..tee hee

You'll ggrow hair on your eyes.

i'm so gonna work this word into my every day vocabulary. i'll use it around my clients. it's gonna be awsome.

Is this contagious

hmm I do this on the groups tab when I'm bored...i like the new word too. congrats.
