Lesson 340--Modern English Vocabulary



Every year English adds new words to its vocabulary.  For most of you, the ones related to computers and cell phones are easily learned--you probably know more than you think.  However there are some new words that are not related to electronic devices that you should know.  These include

staycation:  taking a vacation from work, but not traveling to an interesting destination.

blook:  a book written by a blogger (this one seems important to me).

cyberchondriac:  a person who imagines they are sick or have caught a disease after reading about the symptoms on an internet health site.


He seems to be enjoying his staycation.
 
funemployed:  someone who doesn't have a job, but enjoys not working

netizen:  a citizen of the internet--that means any of you reading this blog.
