Gadchat

Created by: Carla

Pronunciation: gaj-chat

Sentence: Tim was inseparable from his gadgets. He could not put them down, even to talk to his nearest and dearest. As a result of bitter experience, his family would try to impart important information only during gaps in the gadchat (channel changes, game loading). Yet Tim invariably forgot - or never knew - much of what he had been told.

Etymology: gad (to move restlessly or aimlessly from one place to another) + chat. Wordplay on 'gadget'.
