[rant] ‘He is such an IFone’

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

After having to put up with co-workers and friends gushing ‘ooh, wanna hang out with me and my cool iPhone (in Santana Row)’, I am coining a new term:

iFone :

  • When applied to a person:
    Used to describe a person so full of himself but very little substance/depth
  • When applied to a thing / coding methodology / language / operating system
    When a thing is so hyped and doesn’t live up to it

Examples:

  • oh, he is such an iFone
  • oh, it is such an iFone

Fans of Sienfield will remember the quote from Jerry : ‘He is such a Phony’ from episode ‘Parking Space’

Note : The word is iFone, not iPhone (which is, I am sure a trademark by Apple Inc)
