“phygital” is one of the more ridiculous conjugated neologisms I’ve come across.
- huggingmouth 3y agoAt least it has a concrete definition unlike vaguely defined words like "transpile".

- idopmstuff 3y agoIt's so bad it makes me yearn for people to just say they're metaverse experiences.
- sva_ 3y agoI suppose it should've said 'digital' instead of 'virtual' to make the neologism clearer.
- morsch 3y agoMaybe it sounds better in French...
- alephxyz 3y agoIt doesn't. "Digital" is considered an anglicism when used in that sense. "Numérique" or "virtuel" is what's typically used instead.

- bigdict 3y agoThat sounds more like a portmanteau of vrai and naturel. Vraituel maybe?
- throwawaymaths 3y agoDon't know where that extra r came from, I'll blame autocorrect
- pg_bot 3y agodigical sounds better
