Chronically Online
[/ˈkrɒnɪkli ˈɒnlaɪn/]
Definitions
Describing a person who spends so much time online that they've lost touch with real-world social norms, humor, and communication styles. A chronically online person frames everything through internet discourse, uses excessive platform-specific jargon in offline conversations, and may be disproportionately upset by online drama.
“She used the phrase "this is so problematic" in response to a minor scheduling mix-up — totally chronically online.”
