Bildschirmbräune: le mot juste

PICCADILLY — You ever find yourself short of a few good words? How about missing one good word?

Bildschirmbräune might just be that word.

It means someone who spends so much time in front of a computer that it appears to give them a strange tan.

It’s German. And we don’t have enough good German words in current usage in English.

Use it. You’ll like it. It’s my present to you.

(Now I just need to figures out how to pronounce it…)

P.S. I like finding new and different blogs. This one seems to have an excellent back-story: El Blogador.
