I remember in the 80s when there were news reports about video-game-addicted kids getting repetitive stress injuries the media dubbed “Nintendonitis.” Which you have to admit was some clever wordsmithing.

For some reason, when I read the headline I thought it meant the Doctor.
Kinda disappointed now.

Fortunately, selfie sticks can be easier on the wrist.
Sounds exactly like RSI from holding a mouse wrong.

Well, except the wrist is bent the other way…
You know, if @Papasan had posted that, I would have responded with “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”

Wrist injuries, which takes me to this. (Becky’s comment later on in the skit.)

Rats. That would have been a great name for the injuries I see on ski patrol. Snowboarder is taking a selfie, catches an edge, and breaks his arm(s): Colles’ fracture. The “silver fork” variant is really impressive.

Good wordsmithing. Same condition was also once Aviator’s thumb, then Atari thumb, then Nintendo thumb.
Also saves us from having to look at your blurry night shots.
