Acronamoration

(n) The infatuation, or general over-use of acronyms in speech or writing. The word is a portmanteau consisting of the word 'acronym' and 'enamoration' - a false noun form of 'enamor'

Jim, watching a news broadcast with John: "John, ever think the Government suffers from acronamoration?"

*News*: Two more APoWs went MIA today. Their PLS was not far from their PoD. In other news, NATO is still criticizing the PATRIOT ACT

John: "Is PATRIOT ACT really an acronym?"
Jim: "Look it up!"

Nerd-glow

(n) The faint to bright, shade-changing glow that is cast upon a person who is using a computer in the dark, typically associated with computer 'nerds'.

John: "Jim, can you turn down the brightness on that screen? The nerd-glow is disrupting our movie."

Jim: "Hold on, I almost beat this level"
