Daily newspapers now called "snailpapers" by blogging humorist
Do you read your local snailpaper in print or do you do most of your news reading online now via computer screens or e-readers?
Dan Bloom in Taiwan notes that the Urban Dictionary has now accepted the word "snailpaper" to stand for the print editions of our local daily newspapers nationwide, which often, Dan notes, arrive at our doorsteps in the morning with news that is already 12 hours old.

(n.) - the print edition of the daily newspaper which arrives in the morning on your doorstep with news that is already old and stale by at least 12 hours
"I am sick and tired of reading the snailpaper edition of the New York Times! By the time it arrives, the front page is already old news. I much prefer reading the Times online website with the up-dated news as it happens."
