Words Unfit
This morning I used the term 'hyperlink' and it immediately offended my senses. To think I've been reduced to regurgitating decade-old Internet buzzwords. That is all.

Not to be a pain, but from your own wikipedia link...
"The term "hyperlink" was coined in 1965 (or possibly 1964) by Ted Nelson at the start of Project Xanadu."
A little older than a decade.

Quite true. More accurately, I should have said I was indoctrinated with the term in the 90s and now it's strangely nostalgic and dated for me.
