Youtubic — newly coined word

Dear editor,

The popularity of YouTube videos around the world, from South Korea to San Francisco, has caused a new word to be coined by an alert reader in America, who suggested the adjective.

"youtubic" to mean "online comments on blogs and Internet forums that are so inane and stupid they resemble the kinds of comments written about some YouTube videos."

To give an example of possible usage of this new word, one could imagine this statement: "The level of stupidity in some of the comments in some forums approaches youtubic proportions."

The editors of the Urban Dictionary at Google headquarters in Mountain View, Calif., have reviewed this new word and decided to publish it in urbandictionary.com.
