Did you hear the RatShack manager down the street got arrested for selling black market radar detectors in Connecticut?

inessential

Used of a work of art, a production that adds nothing of interest to the creator's portfolio. Does not necessarily imply that the work is bad per se, though mediocrity at best is often assumed. Often only of interest to fanboys and completists.

U2's most inessential work has got to be Pop.

Doreknob

A person, usually a self-proclaimed leftist, who is a fan of pseudoleftist podcaster and “comedian” Jimmy Dore. Usually the burned-out husk of a BernieBro; likely to be fond of saying “I didn’t leave the Left, the Left left me”.

He used to be a BernieBro; now he can't stand Bernie so he became a Doreknob. I wonder if anyone's remind him that a leftist should never be a Trump supporter.

Doreknob

A fan of pseudoleftist podcaster and “comedian” Jimmy Dore. Usually totally insufferable. Claims to be leftist, but supports Trump and Putin. Probably a tankie. Most likely the burned out husk of a BernieBro.

Doreknobs love saying “I didn’t leave the left; the left left me.” It’s true; the left doesn’t generally have room for delusional fascist simps.

reboot

1. To restart a computer when it's acting like a little bitch. Common on old Mac and Windows systems, not so common on old Linux boxes, rare on modern computers.

2. To restart a movie, comic, TV, or book franchise in hopes that it won't jump the shark again. Sometimes works spectacularly (Battlestar Galactica). Sometimes falls flat on its face.

1. "If there's an error, we have this routine called panic, and when it is called, the machine crashes, and you holler down the hall, 'Hey, reboot it.'" --Dennis Ritchie

2. I was contemplating the idea of a Knight Rider reboot the other day. Would be interesting, definitely, but would it really be Knight Rider without the Hoff?

hot cocoa sampler box

A Fark cliche created during the Christmas 2003 season. Refers to the archetypical dumb corporate Christmas bonus.

"I swear I'm going postal if I get another hot cocoa sampler box this year."

set of ovaries

Something you tell a woman who's acting like a little bitch to strap on a set of, since she probably wouldn't want a set of balls too much. Unless she's a transboi, but that's getting a little too far into it.

I dunno, it just didn't seem right to tell her to "man up", so I told her to strap on a set of ovaries and deal with it like a real woman.
