Time to update one of the most important educational series about domaining: The magnificent Domain Name Jargon series – an endless resource of information, a true thesaurus of terms and trivia related to domaining.
The purpose of Name Jargon is to help (re)define domaining and to clarify misconceptions about domain industry terms used in the past, and today.
Name Jargon helps settle such arguments among domainers, once and for all.
Today’s Domain Name Jargon entry is below:
Bidding Threesome: An awkward scenario involving two auction bidders competing over a dropped domain, who are suddenly joined by a third bidder in the final minutes of their duel. What appeared to be an one-on-one match all along, suddenly evolves into a three-way poking battle where anything goes. Typically, the end result is for the third bidder to pull out after a couple of bidding rounds.
Example: “Bro, I was bidding on SweetAssDomain.org, trading punches with lawyer247 on DropCatch, when Bimbo360Domains joined in. It felt like a bidding threesome for a while, until she stopped at $669 bucks.”
