Today’s Word: Notflix

I’m indebted to Claire Zulkey for introducing me to the useful term “Notflix,” meaning “to send a movie back to Netflix before you’ve watched it.” I don’t yet subscribe to Netflix, but I can certainly relate to the sense of guilt and failure upon returning a DVD to the rental store before getting around to watching it — most recently, with Capote. Oh well, reading her blog was more fun, anyway.
