Are you Firefoxy?

In my relentless (and if you know me, fruitless) quest to stay au currant, I came across a guide to hip new techno-slang in Advertising Age magazine. And I knew I had to add these to my vocabulary. Or does that make me a Zune?

VIRAL VIDIOT: Anybody who thinks she or he can be the next Lonelygirl15.

FIREFOXY: What most bloggers aren't. Sample usage: "Is Xeni Jardin from Boing Boing, like, the only Firefoxy blogger in the world?''

ZUNE: Microsoft's new music player. Also [slang]: a poseur; a wannabe. Usage: "Dude, you look like such a Zune in that shirt.''

VISTA: Microsoft's new operating system. Also: a scenic view populated with bugs and security holes.
