camwhore

A words that has been used widely.xtensively.
but did the users know the exact meaning of it?

Fariez punye vocab sgt teruk. :D ye sy tahu.
camwhore was one a ver new word for me.
fariez tnye kawan " ape maksud die sbnrnye"
and she said " tak yah la gune perkataan tu, mcm tak elok kot"
me "owh yeke"

dlm kamus takde.but wiki said (ops, sape y anti wikipidia, mind u )
wiki said the term camwhore was 1st used as early 2002,but was earlier used in Australia

so what's the meaning of the word? (copy paste from wiki)

cam whore(sometimes cam-whorecam-slut) is an individual who performs sexual services on the Internet with webcam software in exchange for money or goods, usually by a fixed per minute fee or by encouraging viewers to purchase items on their wish lists or add to their online accounts.While the label is usually considered derogatory and insulting,it is also used by these people to describe themselves, occasionally in self-deprecating manner.

"cam whore" is also used to refer to individuals who post pictures or videos of themselves on the Internet to gain attention. The term disparages those who post pictures of themselves at inappropriate times or places, and usually implies self-absorption. This second usage of the term, deriding vanity and histrionics, is overtaking the prior, more intuitive definition. It is usually synonymous with attention whore.

that's all folks! chiow.

come on, eng words evolve with time.
nowadays the word camwhore is used informally, and widely by internet users who love to pose in front of d camera. yes, wiki isnt a trusted source. maybe the definition hasnt been updated. u can see people using myspace taking lotsa pics of themselves-which we can say that those ppl are camwhores. the word 'whore' shudnt be put in a literal meaning tho. not to condemn anyone, but this word is quite famous among netizens right now..u shud hv known abt this earlier.
