I needed to use a dictionary to find a word, and stumpled across this by accident. It's a REAL definition from a REAL Collins Dictionary.

Nintenditis is the name of a tennis-elbow/carpal tunnel-like syndrome. Said syndrome came about because apparently idiots were holding their Wii Remotes incorrectly while playing Wii Sports' tennis game and ended up effing up their wrists.

You guys never heard of this before? It was big for a while.

Seriously, crap like this can be prevented with moderate gameplay. Most motion controls are waggle-friendly anyways, so when you develop carpal tunnel over swinging your arms with a remote control-shaped video game controller in your hand for an hour and a half, don't blame the company who made the controller. Blame yourself.

I don't know, I can't remember. Possibly.

Very good, but this dictionary was published in 2002.

Wonder how long I can go around school saying I have this without people knowing what I'm talking about.
