Description

I'm normally not a fan of mash-up jargon, especially if it's describing something meaningful. I'll admit, however, that it's hard to top the word "smishing." On the surface, it sounds innocent and cute, and it's a lot easier to say than the thing it's describing. In a way, this piece was an excuse to use the term in writing.
