thneed

Definition

A fictional product from Dr. Seuss's The Lorax that represents pointless consumerism—"a fine something that all people need." In modern usage, it's deployed ironically to describe completely unnecessary items that marketing convinces us we can't live without. Basically every infomercial product ever.

Example Usage

Do I need a electric toothbrush that connects to WiFi? No, but the ad convinced me it's a total thneed.
