[edit] Web Rage

• Neologism rage. Lomn smash! Delete Merge per Tony. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 15:15:39, 2005-08-25 (UTC)

I was skeptical until I read One frustrated IT manager admitted to smashing up his £2,500 laptop after a web page failed to recognise his personal details after six attempts. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 18:42:53, 2005-08-25 (UTC)

• delete as neologism. Brighterorange 15:25, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• delete as neologism. Extreme Unction 15:28, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Road rage. If this is a neologism it's been around for at least two three years, per [1] Tonywalton  | Talk 15:30, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Ahem. What year is it now? Tonywalton  | Talk

• Merge as per Tony, but rephrase to be a bit more encyclopedic, and of course lose the Canada joke (BJAODN if you wish). --IByte 15:55, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

Indeed. Road Rage Road rage could be expanded with "terms derived from" - I've also heard "Trolley Rage" quite widely used (people losing it in supermarkets, usually for minor reasons) for instance. When I have the time... Tonywalton  | Talk 16:10, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

I think some dab headers on Road Rage and Road rage would be good too. I know, I know, {{sofixit}} Tonywalton  | Talk

• Delete, or include Dripping Tap Rage, Tiny Screwdriver Rage, Self-promoting Neologism Rage, etc. etc. Sdedeo 20:16, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
• I've heard 'Trolley Rage', too. And let us not forget 'Air Rage' - didn't one of the guys from REM have an issue with this? (Peter Buck?) But they're all offshoots of road rage, and a section there titled "Terms derived from 'road rage'" would cover these nicely. Merge per Tony, leave a redirect. Proto t c 09:33, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I don't see any value in keeping this or merging with another article. --NormanEinstein 12:00, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, delete, delete!! Or my Rage Rage will go critical mass and scatter neologistic fallout over all of Wikipedia!!! ;) Cheers, Madmagic 21:36, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
