sucrosity

Sucrose content of a sugar solution. Since sucrose is also the regular table sugar, the word can simply mean sugar content of a drink, juice or syrup.

In order to run our experiment, we had to increase the sucrosity of our solution gradually, by about 5 grams of sucrose at a time.

babypocalypse

1) Being surrounded by an unusually large number of babies - often crying - in a location that is not generally known for them (such as a plane). The unnaturally high number of babies may lend the experience a degree of creepiness.

2) Having a lot of babies being born within a short period of time within one's social circle, carrying with it the dramatic and involuntary end (apocalypse) of a period of one's life.

1) Good thing the pilot couldn't hear the babypocalypse going on in the plane behind him from the closed doors of the cockpit or he may have had an accident from all that noise!

2) John: "I don't have anyone to hang out with at the bar on Friday evenings anymore."
Jane: "What happened to all of your friends? Didn't you have a tight group?"
Joe: "A babypocalypse happened! One by one they all became fathers within the last 3 months!"

appocalypse

When an app you have come to depend on stops working such that you can't get it to work again for the life of you. An appocalypse can be so brutal that it may result in your spending great sums of money on a new device that can run the (most likely free) app you have gotten so addicted to.

A: "Oh no! Candy Crush is no longer working on my iPod! Now what am I supposed to do with my life???"

B: "Maybe it's not too late to stop this appocalypse in its tracks! Try updating the OS and then reinstalling the app!"

net cred

The nerd equivalent of street cred. It is essentially a person's trustworthiness (or 'cred' for 'credibility') as someone who knows what's up on the Internet. The fewer degrees of separation one has from the cradles of new developments - such as following the right accounts on Twitter, being there when the very first incarnation of a new meme-to-be ever got posted on an imageboard, etc. - the more net cred one has. Essentially: a qualitative measure of one's experience with or knowledge of the Internet as a community at large.

You got 10k followers on Twitter because of your cyber news channel on YouTube? Boy, I guess you must legit have a lot of net cred with quite a few of people then, huh?
