buzzard breath

All the sweetness of breath that you'd expect of a creature that eats carrion.

Code Red

1. Red-colored Mountain Dew product.

2. One of the earlier computer viruses that propagated both by email and over network connections.

Both of these came out shortly before 9/11 and the Anthrax scare, causing no end of confusion among duh-weebs and n00bs.

Normal, but technologically unprepared person: I was just sitting there drinking my Code Red (1) when Code Red (2) DLed and started spamming everybody in my address book.

Duh-weeb: I understand you got a Code Red infection, but did you spill it on the keyboard or the hard drive?

N00b: It's just scandalous that none of the doctors knew what I was talking about when I asked for inoculation against Code Red!
