SLEEVEFACING => Vinyl LIVES !

New Word coined (info from WorldWideWords):


SLEEVEFACING
This curious fashion has reached the point this month
at which it has begun to be mentioned in the UK media.

On Facebook, people have taken to posting photographs of
themselves with their faces obscured by an LP record sleeve
to create an arresting visual illusion.

The Observer recently noted, "The main motivation behind
such 'Sleevefacers' is to create larfs (in some cases 'awesome
larfs'), while letting it be known they are groovingly cool enough
to collect vinyl."

The WOW Report is plangently enthusiastic about it:
"Sleevefacing's the sensation that's sweeping the nation.
Or it should be."


BTW, Urban Dictionary defines Larf as "a good time, or a good idea"
