Inherits Microsoft.VisualBasic.MVP : Implements IBrainFart
An extract from the Community Server dictionary.

Its amazing the way language evolves. In the IT world especially, new words spring up all the time - often spawning a complete grammar to go along with it. For example, we create a new product - let's call it Spanky. Once people are familiar with Spanky, it then often follows that Spanky get's integrated into other sentences - we want to convert something to Spanky's file format? We spankify it.

I've noticed it start happening again.

Nuglet. A small tip, written in answer to a question about how to do something in Community Server, and posted on a blog.

Nuglify. To create a nuglet.

Nuglification. The act of nuglifying.

Nuglette. An extremely small nuglet.

Nugliferous. An extremely good nuglet.

Nuglink. A link to a nuglet.

Nuglor. The nuglet creator.

Nuglee. The person who asked the question that caused a nuglification to occur.

Nuglum. When the only response to a question on a forum is a nuglink.

Nuglitude. The emotion felt by the nuglee when receiving a nuglink.
