WORDS, WORDS ...

How does our reality influence the language we use?  I didn't know about MOOC two years ago, but now it's everywhere - in the mass media, in social networks, in my own life. It has made it possible to observe the familiar word formation formulas in action.

As we're determined to learn more about digital cultures, it should be noted that different cultures could be characterized by various language peculiarities. Do we have to wait for somebody who is responsible for coining new terminology?

If one wants to mooc, one should be aware that a moocer leads a more moocful life than in a premooc period.

Can you give definitions for these words?
to mooc (verb, regular)
a moocer (noun, countable)
moocful (adjective)
premooc (adjective)

P.S.
All ideas and images are my own and shouldn't be taken seriously:))

Yours,
