Announcement: New Slang

[krickets]

I invented a new word over at daybreak777's journal.

Netflixed = Inexplicably compelled to marathon a show (or watch a movie) just because you discover it's available on Netflix streaming. (Alternatively, this can refer to simply the act of watching something from/on netflix, but that's boring. This is better.)

Used in a sentence:
"I thought I would hate *insert name of show*, but I got netflixed."
"I couldn't stop watching old episodes of Roseanne last weekend. Netflixed, again!"


Examples:
Parks & Rec
Terriers (Although, that was more a long-awaited continuation.)
Switched at Birth (YES, It's true.)

What is this show of which you speak? I am intrigued!

(And will it make me cry for missing my kids from the deaf school in Cairo?)

It's an ABC Family show about two girls who were switched at birth and find out about it as teens. One is deaf and one is not. It's called (predictably) Switched at Birth.

Here is a promo, which doesn't really sell the show AT ALL:


And here is a (pretty spoilery) clip that shows an all-signing scene. I looked for that one because I remember it being very good:

Thus far, my only complaint with this show is that no deaf cafeteria is as quiet as the one in the pilot. (It is amazing how much noise fifty kids who can't hear can make.)

I totally don't remember that scene, but I know for a fact you're right about that based on just a handful of deaf students I have coming into the library from time to time.

Oh, ETA! I'm glad you're watching!
