question: can we call "print newspapers" as "snailpapers" because they arrive with news that is 12 hrs old?
The Newspaper Death Watch blog webbed by Paul Gillin has a post today about "snailpapers" -- as a term of endearment, although some criticism is implied by the term, too, obviously -- here: (scroll down to item) http://www.newspaperdeathwatch.com ITEM: [He] has come up with a new word for newspapers. He calls them “snailpapers.” [But] the longtime newspaperman insists this is a term of endearment, not derision. He thinks maybe if newspapers poked more fun at themselves instead of getting all righteously indignant about new media, they would generate more sympathy.
