Blogtionary (n.) 


A humorous dictionary provided on the Internet in the form of a weblog—or ‘blog’ as it is commonly known—to give voice to the author's personal observations, obsessions, and general downright silliness. The aim of a blogtionary is to help narrow the gap between the large number of widely shared and understood experiences on the one hand, and the lack of any definitive or well documented terminology for those experiences on the other. 

This particular blogtionary was inspired by Douglas Adams' and John Lloyd's seminal volumes, The Meaning of Liff and The Deeper Meaning of Liff, and Douglas Coupland's inaugural classic, Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture.
