Word of the day: chronovore

September 11th 2009 00:32
wasting time

Chronovore: something which eats your time.

I just saw this word on a Twitter tweet by Tiffany. The main chronovore she wrestles with is Twitter itself. But high-end procrastinators have many chronovores in their lives.


I, personally, am founding president of the Southern Milky Way branch of the Universal Procrastinators Alliance. There is nothing about chronovores I don't know. I just didn't know until know until now that that's what they were called.

How did the world survive so long without this word?

Darlingest Poobah, you are not in fact a well-entrenched member because I haven't gotten around to processing the membership application which you haven't gotten around to submitting. But that qualifies you for honorary life membership.
