Wow, this is a weird and nasty one. But I thought the story behind it was pretty funny.

Over at Kotaku, Brian Crecente posted a story about a somewhat forced DS multiplayer experience with a stranger. They played a few rounds of Tetris. Basically he was kind of weirded out by the whole thing:

“The whole thing felt a little unsavory, forced. It was like a bath house hook-up but instead of man sex there was Tetris. A podmate at work blurted out Tetris Gloryhole after hearing my story, and then laughed so hard his face turned a deep red.”

So, today’s Neologism is “Tetris Gloryhole”. Crecente was even kind enough to give me the definition and usage.

“Tetris Gloryhole: The act of forcing a total stranger to play a DS Lite game with you in public.

Usage: I was minding my own business playing Club House when some gimf Tetris Gloriyholed me into playing Metroid Prime Hunter.”
