Mine is "megastar"... all too untrue. ;) What a fun idea.

Mine was 'channel surf' but my sister's was 'shopaholic' which is good because she is one.

I got "shopaholic" too. I'm the same age as your sister :)

Nowheresville. (Exactly where I grew up -- "not the end of the world! but you could see it from there" -- I had the t-shirt). I love my hometown.

I was born in the wrong year. Mine is 'shopaholic' which I refuse to even use. The next year, my husband's birth year, is gobsmacked. That works much better.

Fascinating how some have lasted, and others are very much relics of their time.

I agree. Some words stay and others don't linger very long. You wonder about words that might have died without managing to be written down in older days.
