It's the Daily Fail, subby. When you reach into the toilet bowl, you're likely to find turds.

I guarantee you, there will be a term that is more stupid at some point this year.

In news that will bring hope to geeky men everywhere, a new survey has revealed that nearly two thirds of women would happily swap the ~~likes~~ money of hunky David Gandy for the ~~dorkier charms~~ more money of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg.

techno-sexual

Interesting term for arousal in or around electronics stores.

Any chance of reviving the IRA for one shot at the Daily Fail?

Maybe sexually immature girls, but no way true with women. The kind of woman who knows she's a woman and knows she likes men.

Whenever my Anglophilia gets a little too out of hand, I go to the Daily Fail, so I can say to myself, "Yes, England gave us Monty Python and the Beatles and Doctor Who. But it also gave us this."

Suckmaster Burstingfoam		2013-01-25 10:31:07 PM

Well, at least they didn't say "cuber-sexual" - or worse, "e-sexual".

blue_2501		2013-01-25 10:32:36 PM

There's already a term for that: "Tech Porn" Or [noun] Porn. Like "Food Porn".

I imagine that working in IT does for one's arousal about technology that working on porn does for one's arousal in the bedroom.

I don't care about "features". I just want something simple, satisfying, competently done, and I really don't care what it looks like for the camera.

Why do you think we have the retna displays, the easily cleaned buttonless trackpads, and frigging voice control?

There isn't the label "porn-addicted" for mac users. It's pretty much assumed.

Androids in the novel, yes. In the movie they were biological constructs.

Wait...are you saying that pornstars don't get triple penetrated off camera also?

PeenkyPinkerton		2013-01-25 10:46:23 PM

That term has actually been around for a while. In fact it was in the episode of King of The Hill, where Hank becomes addicted to a GTA type computer game that is based off of Strickland propane.

imfallen_angel		2013-01-25 10:48:09 PM

Next... people that are sexually attracted to homogenized milk.

indylaw		2013-01-25 10:50:52 PM

I feel like we could eliminate the threat to the English language by swapping out a few "Entrance"/"Exit" and "Push"/"Pull" signs at the offices of CNN, Fox News, USA Today, and every outlet of the UK media.

Sorry, but unless in involves toys that require batteries the term "techno-sexual" is null and void.

Assumed they finally came up with a name for people who can only get laid at raves.

Found out they just came up with yet another term for women attracted to guys with a paycheck.

Leaving disappointed.

so what they are saying is.... the girls go for geeky guys who are good with computers.... so they can complain later that he spends all his time on the computer?

So, because fixing computers is now better than fixing cars, Daniel Craig is no longer hot.

my alt's alt's alt		2013-01-25 11:20:04 PM

if geeky men are "techno-sexual" what does that make us geeky women?

FTA: "So potent is the techno-sexual's appeal, that nearly 40 per cent of men surveyed admitted to having exaggerated about their tech know-how, including their ability to mend and upgrade gadgets, computers and laptops, in an attempt to impress the fairer sex."

UGH as a veteran of customer-facing IT i have to agree, but make it more like 70%
