KARKIL Dictionary: Geofitti

The Karma Killers Dictionary defines: Geo-fitti: n; any kind of imagery or detail put in place at a scale with the intention that it will be imaged by a satellite, hopefully so it will appear on a satellite mapping service such as Google Maps. Ex: "The gang on Big Bang Theory wanted Howard's wedding to be captured by a Google satellite, so they held it on a rooftop and created a giant white circle out of sheets of paper so it would be easy to pick out of a satellite image that they calculated was due to be shot precisely at the time of the wedding."

A portmanteau of "Geo" meaning Earth, and "Grafitti", informal or unofficial visual expressions on public surfaces.

Nice word. I wish they would follow up on that a little.
