Word of the Week: Thumbo
March 18, 2010 (late morning)
Paul McFedries sent a great new word today via Word Spy-
Thumbo: An error made while using the thumbs to type, particularly on a mobile device keypad. [Blend of thumb and typo.]
I sure see a great number of thumbos on a daily basis, but I might need a stronger word to describe the email I got yesterday-
We ciumld orreebt
Maybe a new one using the words Novocain & Thumbo? A thumbocaine typist?
