Never have even heard of the word before.
replyThe term is nearly old enough to have a driving license - google glass came out 14 years ago
replyAhh maybe that’s it. Old slang that’s not used often enough these days.
replyGood luck reading an article about Meta Raybans without running into the term. That said, the whole smartglasses thing seems to be pretty dead as a concept - at least in part because public opinion is not on the side of folks wandering around with stealthy cameras on their faces
replyI have actually looked into meta glasses a number of times. Never saw the term. Learn something new everyday thanks for sharing this old term with the group!
replyThen you haven't been paying attention.
replyMaybe you are in bubble? Looks like it’s really old slang and I have not heard that word in the last decade in Silicon Valley or elsewhere.
replyIt was never common slang. A few journalists tried to force it to be “a thing” but it never caught on, because forced memes never work.
reply(I do hate camera glasses though.)
It has had a revival with the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. I don't know about Silicon Valley, but you frequently see it in tech-oriented forums when the topic comes up.
