If you read CrunchGear regularly, you know what a dongle is, what a mobile is, and what a torrent is. Congratulations, you speak Nerdic.

According to the Telegraph, anyway, that’s the name of the language of modern technology. Modems, WiFi, and other words make up this secondary language. We personally think it’s a stupid name, we like “Virginglish” better.

What’s more, Oxford English Dictionary’s team will be adding 200 of these nerdy words to this year’s edition of the book, twice as many as last year. As technology becomes more integrated with our lives you can expect that number to go up.
