[ SLANG ][ MULTILINGUAL NATIVE ]

FORCE: Attention EconomyUNIVERSE: Spanish Internet HistoryCLUSTER: attention_grab_feature

Spanish name for the MSN Messenger nudge: a button that shook the contact's chat window and played a sound to get their attention.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"Pick up already, I've sent you like five zumbidos."

LORE & ORIGIN

Press retrospectives (Xataka, Genbeta) report that MSN Messenger gained the zumbido in 2005 along with winks and custom emoticons. Because a persistent sender could make the recipient's window shake relentlessly, Microsoft limited how often zumbidos could be sent. It is the Spanish-language name for the same feature covered by the existing "msn-wizz" (French "wizz") and "wizz-msn" entries; this entry records the Spanish usage, e.g. "mandar un zumbido".
