Here's a list of terms I have been known to utter or write. I make no claims as to the originality of said terms, although some of them may be original anyway. The list is inspired by both the Jargon File and Leonardics.


Bogon Response Team n.

Name of a fictional job title or department in a fictional business, often written on applications, especially ones for events that hand out badges with this information printed on them. The Bogon Response Team responds to dangerous bogon spikes and looks a lot like the Ghostbusters while doing so.


bork vt.

To furk (sense 2). Often suggests that a usual or expected trait has been altered. Example: "He got through a whole post without a misspelling. Someone borked CmdrTaco!"


borken adj.

The state of something once it has been borked. Example usage: "Uh, I think das blinkenlights are severely borken. They're telling me to do unspeakable things."


bump vt.

To co-mingle, as people are often wont to do with their respective nubbies. Example usage: "And then, before I knew it, we were frantically bumpin' nubbies."


campy railer bitch n.

One who is known to frequently and nearly exclusively employ the use of the railgun weapon within the game of Quake 3 Arena. Mortal enemy of the rocket monkey. Example usage: "q3dm17 is so much more fun without a bunch of campy railer bitches putting good electrons to waste."


chicken

1. excl. Generic utterance with no particular meaning or significance. Example: "Chicken!" 2. n. Small woodland creature. This term is often encountered in the plural form. "Look at those chickens scamper up the tree!"


conformafish n.

One who conforms to the whims of society. Usually used in reference to a singular act of conformance and not just conformity in general. The implication is that either the specific whims of society in question, the particular act of conforming to them, or both are silly and absurd. Example usage: "I don't eat beef because Oprah says so." "Such the conformafish!"


food excl.

Exclamation intended to gently encourage those nearby to engage in sustenance-consuming activities with the exclaimer in the very near future. Often uttered under the influence of extreme hunger and/or impatience, with a vaguely Swedish accent. Example: "Food!"


foodal adj.

Of or pertaining to food.


frictionless pulley problem n.

Problem or puzzle based upon a model of reality simplified to such a degree that it no longer models reality. Often encountered in undergraduate science courses. Eventually obsoleted by a rough pulley problem.


furk vt.

1. To tinker or mess with. See hack (sense 6). "I'm furking with the air conditioner for kicks." 2. To screw up or break. "I just furked the web page.. nothing displays!" Note that it is not uncommon for sense 2 of this term to result from engaging in sense 1.


Herman Melville n.

Generic name written on web registration forms when one doesn't wish to reveal one's real identify, for whatever reason. A common variation involves providing "Herman" for the name and "Melville" for the city.


iono excl.

OPP n.

Other People's Perl, which is generally unreadable and thus should be avoided at all costs. Example: "I'm not down with OPP."

rocket monkey n.

One who is known to frequently and nearly exclusively employ the use of the rocket launcher weapon within the game of Quake 3 Arena. Mortal enemy of the campy railer bitch.


rough pulley problem n.

Problem or puzzle that closely resembles reality and thus completely supersedes anything learnt while solving a frictionless pulley problem. Note that reality need not be absolute for this definition to apply. A generally agreed-upon definition of reality will suffice.

Icy stare or other sign of disinterest in response to romantic advances. Example usage: "Oh yeah, she was sending me signals alright. First a SIGTERM, then a SIGKILL."


thirty-three six K fury n.

Pitifully weak and ineffectual ping storm or other bandwidth-dependent DoS attack. Often threatened in jest towards a more bandwidth-enabled individual. Example usage: "I strongly suggest that you apologize, lest you incur the fury of my full-on thirty-three six K net connection." Note that "thirty-three six K" refers to the 33.6 kilobits per second speed of many underpowered modems.
