hustledork
(hus-el-dork) n
[coined in the mid-1990s by Schmidt
Kaye & Company principal Ron
Kaye, who
doubles as a social commentator]: A
hustledork can be a garden-variety business
geek and excellence freak, or an aggressively
capitalistic self-help guru (or guru
wannabe). The garden-variety hustledorks ~
and we all know some ~ are known for
habitually cornering people at social or
business gatherings and babbling to them
about some powerful new product,
"technology" or way of life that
will change their lives forever. The
self-help-guru h-dorks are better known for
performing the electronic equivalent thereof,
by sending faux-personal
get-me-rich-quick spamograms to their massive
mail lists. These people generally hang out
together, particularly on the Internet,
patting each other on the back, singing each
other's praises and shooting out spamograms
on each other's behalf. It's one long mutual
mastur...er...networking and promotional
circle, and the rest of us get to clean up
the resulting mess from our "In"
boxes just about every day. Lucky us!
Now that your
word power has been increased,
