Vocab Corner: Bing
Another wonderful word suggestion to add to your custom.dic, from the mind that brought you "
Fnjorkel".
The Suggestion
IM has become ubiquitous, but there's no widely accepted way of easily saying "IM me" in a non-vendor-specific manner
without using more than two syllables.
Therefore, I move that "bing" be used in place of any given term for "instant message".
Bing!
Synonymous with "instant message".
verb:
"Bing me!"noun:
"I got a bing from Dennis..."
The Rationale
Two-syllable words like "message" or "IM" or "MSN me" or "in Windows Live Messenger, double click me as a contact and then send me an instant message" are cumbersome and slow.
A commonly accepted verb meaning "to IM", such as "bing" would greatly enhance productivity and create a synergistic win/win opportunity for diversified consolidation.
