#3I got at least one inaccuracy in thirty seconds of play. I'm pretty sure Slashdot wasn't around in the '70s, yet the "Slashdot Effect" is claimed as a '70s neologism.

It's an unfortunate side effect of the "flash crowd" and "Slashdot effect" articles being merged in the past. The editors at the time decided the terms were synonymous, but "Slashdot effect" won out as the dominant title. The "1970s neologisms" category tag must have come from the "flash crowd" article.

Re: New Word Order
#6Neat idea. I think it'd be more fun with a minimum separation of 1 gap decade between each answer (especially with older phrases).

it must be the "Wikipedia effect", because the term was "flash mob"

Flash mob (2003) is newer than Slashdot(199x).

As a commentary on games and people, I played five iterations, I knew the correct answer for every iteration but got every iteration of gameplay 'wrong' as each time the first card I clicked on wasn't the answer I was pretty sure was correct, but the word I knew least about ..
It started with wanting to look up "Captology" which was clearly a much more recent term than Barnum's There's a sucker born every minute.
I had no intention to click, I really wanted to highlight and search rather than play.
