Newdy Wootist

From writer Adrienne Ray: A Newdy Wootist one who believes in the world according to the media.

This would be a person who thinks that reality is anything that appears on TV – the only correct science is that which is expressed in the media. It is a faith in the sitcoms, soap operas, reality TV shows, and MTV DJs over and above pre-TV religion or science.

Either I am spelling it wrong or Adrienne misspelled it. The phrase does not Google, but it is such an interesting sounding expression that I have no doubts that it will appear on BoingBoing.net in the next few weeks as the latest internet Wortverbindung.

Wortverbindung is an interesting word all by itself. It might mean Link Word, phrase, or Word Combination, but it seems to describe well the little phrases that weave in and out of the web zeitgeist.
