REBOL

An obscure scripting language designed by someone oblivious to the fact that in order to get market share, you have to either own the market (in which case people will buy any shit you put out (Visual Basic anyone?)) or give it away (Perl, which sucks horribly except for everything else out there).

He coded the entire back end up in REBOL, and I had to look it up to even figure out what the hell it was. Then I laughed at him for picking the most obscure language in the book.

iced tea

A uniquely American drink that apparently tea drinkers outside the US just don't get. Both refreshing and caffeinated, but be careful what you order -- Southerners like it really, really sweet.

Ah, iced tea. My wirewater of choice.

gray market

Refers to a market in imported items that are legal to own but are not supported in the country they're being bought from.

I have a cousin in the UK who likes to send me movies, so I bought a gray market PAL DVD player to watch them.

shock site

A website used with the express purpose of startling the living crap out of anyone you link it to. Examples include tubgirl, lemonparty, and goatse.

Watch out for that link. It redirects to some shock site I've never seen before.

jargon file

I heard the word "bagbiter" the other day, so I went to the Jargon File to look it up.

magnum

1. A large bottle of cheapish wine, 1.5 liters in capacity. Sometimes also known as a bomber to the less snobbish.
2. A heavy-duty handgun. Strongly associated with Dirty Harry.
3. A large condom manufactured by Trojan. If you can't fit your boy bits in a tp roll, buy these instead.

We bought a magnum of Hardy's Stamp at the store, and after a couple of hours with that she made me get out the Magnums. Hey, what can I say?
