WIRELUST

(n) A deep, burning, almost primal need to have a fast, reliable, always-on connection to the internet. Experienced by just about anyone who actually bought into the wireless web marketing hype and spent hundreds of dollars on what ultimately results in a very expensive way to risk injuring one's thumb. Example: Despite the relative success of his thumb physical therapy program, after the 9th dropped connection, Doug could no longer deny the wirelust that was beginning to consume his every thought.
