Brad's "What's that word?" of this week: Skeuomorphic

Brad was trying to remember a word for the term that refers to computer programs whose design emulates the real-world object the program is replacing. It's skeuomorphic.

I learned of the term when reading Ars Technica'sMac OS X Lion review. <insert TheMoreYouKnow.jpg>

Whenever I accidentally open the address book app I hate myself. Cruddy piece of shit.

Thanks for that, I totally blanked on that word too when I was listening earlier.

I approve of these types of threads. Hopefully Brad will continue to not remember difficult words and this can be a weekly feature.

Someone needs to add the alias to this page. http://www.giantbomb.com/cell-phone-interface/92-4383/

I need Brad's "What's That Word?" to become a weekly forum topic.

It can be either a fancy word he can't quite remember (like this week), or it can be a fancy word he uses that you're pretty sure nobody understands except for himself and possibly Vinny (and certainly not Ryan "Disco Quiche" Davis).

Highly approve of this becoming a weekly feature. Kudos to you @Keen314
