Hackneyed words on Social Media

Switch on the laptop, iPad or mobile and you are bound to see these words. Used, overused, abused and beaten to death, I'm certain you have seen these words on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn, Flickr and plethora of social media drivers of 21st century. I have issues with some of the wordplay

Technophile - Beware !! He could be a pedophile as well !
Movie buff - Hmmm.. How about you buffing your leathers shoes for a change?
Foodie - All that rubbish you eat makes you moody.
Net junkie - What ?! Junkie means smackhead, pothead, cokehead, meth head. Who gets high on internet ?
Cellphone freak - Yes.. they are freaks you smack their neighbour's head with a Nokia 3310. Please exercise caution while walking in your neighbourhood as these people are always on the prowl.
Loves Traveling - Their travel is Chennai Beach to Tambaram or Borivili to Churchgate. So don't be fooled folks. 
Selective perfectionist - DAFAQ ? 
Budding entrepreneur - My dear friends ...Your buds were nipped eons ago
Strategic Thinker - And thinking what exactly ?
