adj.— «I just checked out that Friendster website that Oz makes reference to, and I thoroughly don’t understand it.

Then to actually see anyone else other than yourself, people you invite have to acutally join the site themselves. Sorry Oz….that’s bootleg.» —“Major Bitch” by Jonathan Wonder Jonathan June 17, 2003.
