Vocabulary Time!

ajax, v.t.: Of a dynamic website, to cause a user to take an unintended action (esp. one difficult or impossible to undo) because the interface rearranged itself (e.g., by removing an item from a list) in delayed response to an earlier action, concurrently with the user's attempting to activate an interface element. Often used passively, as e.g. I just got ajaxed!
