Megan West(erby): Social media slang →
digitalslurp:
The growing popularity of Pinterest got me thinking today. So I made up a bit of social media slang for you to insert into your everyday lives. Enjoy.
Pinterested (adj): I’m kinda pinteresed in that.
Pinteresting (adj): Your house is very pinteresting.

Me: Bingo. Are we in agreement that we'll both buy one when the new one comes out?
