Grant talks about the new slang term, zaprudering, as in “The fanboys get off on zaprudering the invite to the Apple product-release press conference.” This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Zaprudering”
Here’s a bit of new language I came across. It’s Zaprudering. Z-A-P-R-U-D-E-R-I-N-G.
Zaprudering. It’s when you overanalyze a photo or video to try to get as much information from it as possible.
From the old film of J.A.K.
Like people have done with the Zapruder film of the Kennedy assassination.
Deprudering is used online mainly to describe the way fanboys obsess over invites to new product announcements from certain computerized fruit companies.
What?
Apple Computer.
Oh, oh.
Yeah, every time Apple sends out an invite to the press, somebody gets a hold of it and they spend a great deal of time looking at it pixel by pixel to figure out what it means.
Is it a tablet computer?
Is it a moon launch?
Is Steve Jobs going to become a cyborg?
Nobody knows.
Yeah, MacCremlinology, right?
That’s hilarious.
