(Warning: possible yart): yesterday's paper in my town had an aricle about new terms dealing with failed dot.com's. Examples: dot.carnage and dot.coma.

The article mentioned a website of such terms, but we'll have more fun inventing our own.

I thought that the established term for a failed dot.com is dot.bomb.

Agreed, Sparteye. Dot-bomb perfectly describes a single dead company; I was thinking about death-related concepts like moribund (dot.coma) or widespread slaughter (dot.carnage). Could be fruitful terrain.

and sites for men who have not/wish they had not left home are, dot.mom

hairdressers have sites at dot.comb

pessimists should go to dot.gloom

jewish peace-lovers can try dot.shalom

the only users of dot.column.uk are Nelson and a few hundred pigeons.

all librarians are aware of a super site at dot.tome

afficionados of gangster films will find it worth while trying dot.Lom, whilst all Brits in OZ or Zild are using dot.pom
