Clicko

Aaron wrote in the Content DJ comments that he wanted to coin the word "clicko," defined as being like a typo but with an accidental mouse click instead of a keystroke. I love this word because you instantly recognize what it means. Aaron's example: “Dude, why did you draft the Jaguars defense, when the Bears and Panthers defenses were both available?” “It was a clicko on my part.”

The word clicko returns a few Google results and has an Urban Dictionary entry dated Dec 26, 2005 so someone thought of it before. But it only has 9 thumbs so it appears it hasn't been popularized it yet.

  1. Just to give you an idea of how underused the word clicko is: the Urban Dictionary entry for a Roycie has almost twice as many thumbs. And I think every single one of them is from our group of friends.

  2. I added a thumb up to both Clicko and Roycie.

  5. So that's how we're defining unpopular/non-mainstream? When Google returns our blog. That makes me feel sorry for Matthew Berry and his fantasy football Draft Day Manifesto.
