buzzfeed rebrands mouse-over Javascript as “rubbable GIFs”
Maybe I am just a total pedantic fucking geek clinging to outdated, inaccessible technological jargon of geeky ingroups, and I guess it’s well established that I am anti-fun or whatever… but on the other hand, RUBBABLE. GIFS. That aren’t even GIFS.
Let’s rebrand everything!
Clicking = poking
Double-clicking = Facebook poking, you know, the kind of poking when you like-like someone
Dragging and dropping: Giving your icons a piggyback ride
Scrolling = Psyche! Scrolling will still consist of trying to carefully pry the invisible disappearing scrollbar away from your desktop and the ads on the side of the screen, like a game of Operation!
I love Katherine.
