That’s actually a pretty cool term ;)

Thanks for props on the word. I appreciate it. Now, can anyone convince Jobs Inc. to give me a free iPhone since I coined “iPerbole.” And, just so it is known, I am an avid Apple fan. I did not come up with that phrase out of hate. It’s my affectionate way to describe my own technolust (another Urban Dictonary neologism.)
