SuperNews! contribute Twilf to the lexicon

It's not every day that new term is coined (probably more like every other day.) So it's exciting when you know the people responsible for adding to the lexicon. Last week, the SuperNews! team released a cartoon called the "The Stupid Virus." It looked at how misinformation becomes infectious on cable news.


"The Stupid Virus" itself became viral, after it appeared on Huffington Post. Partially because of the way they described Sarah Palin. They called her a twilf. This portmanteau combines "Twitter" and "milf."




I feel like this word  will become an important part of our contemporary vernacular.




"Hey dude, I've been @messaging back and forth with a hottie"


"Oh yeah, where is she from?"


"Las Vegas."


"And how old is she?"


"22."


"Really?"


"42."


"Another Twilf, again?"



Merriam-Webster put this in your dictionary! And while your at it, can you codify words some other internet words?


MySpace Body - adjective - a picture taken for the internet, by an individual who only wants to capture their desirable qualities, and hide others. Certain camera angles, cropping, and attire help to provide this illusion.


Do you have any internet words that belong in a dictionary? Let me know, and I'll help get them codified.
