Usually thought of as the domain of frustrated teens who can’t or won't physically act on their hormonal urges, this particular by-product of the ubiquitous smartphone is not just relegated to those greasy teens anymore – it’s also popular among those in adult relationships who for one reason or another don’t get to see enough of each other to feed that new-relationship hunger.

Sexting is really just a modern love letter. As a race we’re all a shitload more sexually liberated than we were when Gramps was courting and the only way to titillate a far off lover was to send a fragrant letter by post. These days you can instantly send and receive naughty pics, suggestive messages, even dirty videos. I know from personal experience that with free smugphone to smugphone multi media messaging apps these day, the sky’s the limit.

It’s staggering the amount relationships have changed in the digital age. I for one can’t even remember how I ever even saw or communicated with boyfriends 10 to 15 years ago. If we were stripped of mobile phones and the internet these days we’d lose each other for weeks on end and be reduced to walking the streets in the hope of randomly bumping in to one another. (Luckily it's really only stalkers who have to resort to this type of behaviour).

The media love sexting, mostly because it involves teenagers, and as we all know those crazy teens are just out of control.
In the course of my research (by research I mean a bit of lazy googling, barely ever beyond the first page of results, and a few dirty pics sent back and forth with a ‘friend’) not surprisingly the fifth search result was a piece from the Daily Mail, which in the first 3 paragraphs uses the phrases “provocatively”, “shockingly” “leafy suburbia” (oh god no!! surely not!!), “degrading”, “deeply alarming” and "will horrify parents”…
Ok so not that I agree with the Daily Mail (over my dead body), but I will say this; grown ups? Why not? Get your kicks (not that 'grown ups' are beyond trouble arising from sexting). Not so grown ups? Be careful, remember - you are idiots – you’re only gonna be broken up in 3 weeks with nothing left of your relationship but a bunch of dirty pics for him to show his mates and anyone else who cares (i.e. the internet, a.k.a. everyone in the whole world everywhere, ever).

Hey, forget traditional forms of revenge (all you unhinged people out there who regularly indulge in a helping of your favourite cold dish)... you know; spray painting your lovers car with abuse, throwing his clothes out onto the street, breaking his shit, shooting him to death(?) (I had to say that cos of the picture I used for this piece)... This is the digital age and it takes far less effort to enact eVenge than revenge.

Examples of eVenge can be found on sites such as DontDateHimGirl.com and ManHater.com ("We don't hate ALL men, just the jerks!" - yeah so they've changed their name to 'womensavers' now, but that's just doesn't pack the same punch) - sites specialising in assassinating the characters of men who have been naughty. This has the dual purpose of getting back at the naughty boy AND warning other girls against ever dating them. It gets pretty full-on apparently. One guy filed a lawsuit against DontDateHimGirl.com because a bunch of chicks defamed the living hell out of him. [wiki]
I can see why some people go in for eVenge; with a few mouse clicks, an upload here, some creative writing there, you can create a complete revenge package where a) the humiliating consequences reach a far wider audience, and b) it is far more difficult for him to get rid of these slights in order to clear his name.

So, eVenge.
If you've not yet figured it out, eVenge is a smooshing together of electronic + revenge.
(Urban Dictionary tells me it is sometimes written with the first consonant capitalised. As you can see I have decided to run with this. They just love doing that with 'e' stuff, don't they?)
But you don't have to go to a special website for eVenge of course. Nah, you can slag people off on facebook, twitter, whereever you have an audience on the internet.
I could get some eVenge right here if I had the inclination...

Some people have too much time on their hands.
Clearly not me, or I would actually update my pointless website more than once every never.
I'm talking about people such as those who have the time to dedicate a website to cats that look like Hitler - Kitler's'!!
I love these undeniable conjoinulations - you hear it once and there is absolutely no doubt what it is because it rhymes perfectly with the original word and only one letter is changed but it still encapsulates the concept superbly.
Many of the Kitlers are pretty dodgy examples, and loads of them just have a kinda crazy look in their eye which seems to be enough to qualify them, but all in all a sound website.
This website has been around for ages, you've probably seen it at some point in your trawls through the internet, but it's fine use of conjoinulation could be ignored no longer.
Oh, and I do like his description "Most cats possess that typically feline facial expression that implies a secret longing for world domination."
Also... I'm really more of a dog person myself, so the whole content of the Kitlers site kinda tickles me.

God, theres so many where the hell do I start?
Prob’ly with this picture – this stylish lady is a rather fancy cyborg (cybernetic + organism – you didn't need me to tell you that).
Conjoinulations and tek go well together new gadgets and new toys need new names. It all fits.

From the very silly (i.e. Fembot) to the quite-well-accepted-as-a-serious-and-established-word (i.e. Transistor – transfer/resistor) here are a few I lovingly selected...

Now for a start, no one can resist a good display of Animatronics can they?
And where would we be without the help of Avionics (stuck in some isolated outpost of the world in my case anyway…oh wait..)

'Internet' is a hearty conjoinulation – one of either or all international/interglobal/interchanged and network. (So basically 'inter-whatever-the-hell-you-want' + network [at least we can agree on that part]).

Podcast – there seems to be some sort of joke that no one can make up an original definition/explanation of this word (iPod + Broadcast). It seems plainly obvious to me that everyone just paraphrased the Wiki.

Netiquette – we can all do with lessons on this – I’m probably breaking several rules of netiquette right this second. Fuck that shit, I make my own rules (but only when it comes to the net, and netiquette – shit! In the real world I’m a law abiding model citizen).
If I’m swearing a lot today it’s cos I’m kinda edgy, having the worst hangover ever in recent memory, and now finding myself sitting on a train heading towards Birmingham as I write this. Can you blame me?

Pixel – picture + element – this is such a cute word anyway even before you realise is a cracker conjoinulation (god, I’m a retard – I just realised I think it’s cute cos it sounds like pixie) – not sure where they got the 'x' from, but I guess otherwise it would have come out sounding too much like pickle. (“Check out my new camera – it’s full 8 megapickles” just wouldn't wash).
