The Linternet.
With his electric basketball playing, Jeremy Lin has moved the needle on the term “Linsanity.” It’s gone from an epithet for actress Lindsay Lohan to a term for the interest he engenders in the Knicks. A new site, the Jeremy Lin Word Generator, has generated new terms for Jeremania (see what we did there?). These terms include:
- Lintriguing
- Linsurgency
- Linspiration
- Lindomitable
- Linsurgent
And surely many more, if the breadth of words beginning with the prefix “in-” can serve as guide. If Mr. Lin’s fame continues, he’ll become a part of our sub-lin-inal thoughts! (Sorry, that joke was too linsidery.)

Many can deLINeate now how, precisely, they became JEREMY COME LINLY’S.
