Sentence: My father is so technimpotent, he spent over 900 dollars on a brand new DSLR camera, but doesn't know how to put the pictures on his computer!

Sentence: Alice flashed her doohickey at Todd and he was floored. 'Wow, what is that?' he exclaimed, itching to get his hands on the device. 'No no Mister, don't you dare touch my doohickey until you've read the manual' she cooed.

Etymology: 'Doohickey' first originated in 1914, but seems fit for a revival. It derives from the word 'doodad' (gadget) + 'hickey' (love mark)

Pronunciation: bom - tron - ik

Sentence: Bernice's new bombtronic device failed miserably as a phone or as a browser either. It looked cool, sounded cool but she could not make or receive phone calls or navigate to any web sites. None of the games that came on it worked well either. She just liked to carry it around, show it off and hear all the cool ring tones.

Etymology: bomb (to fail, blow up), electronic

Pronunciation: guess-moe

Sentence: To Jimmy anything with a seemingly random stream of letters and numbers after its name is a guessmo. The new iFadpad 7X37tz comes with a free firewall and is a shiny thing of beauty. But Jimmy didn't know if he could talk to his mum with it or if he was supposed to attach it to his wall and let it download the internet into his brain. Maybe it was just a fire alarm.

Etymology: A play on the word 'gizmo'. Having to guess at the function of a gadget due to a lack of technological knowledge.
