Flashing
Flashing may have a new meaning:
A growing flash mob craze -- when crowds organized by e-mail turn up in unexpected places -- brought a mob late on Thursday to the flagship Times Square store of Toys "R" Us, where a giant dinosaur roars menacingly at customers.Prediction: at least one of these events will, in the future, include just that: flashing.
This is a phenomena that is aching for a name of its own. We all understand getting Slashdotted and if we are lucky tomorrow we will still understand being flashed.
Who has a unique name for these gatherings?
