OICBTWAT

"Or I Could Be Totally Wrong About This"

An acronym used as a disclaimer—usually postscript—on a speculative piece of writing to show that the writer is admittedly talking out of his ass.

Apple's stock declined for the first time before a new iPhone announcement. This probably means that people don't care about iPhones anymore and Apple is doomed without Steve Jobs. OICBTWAT.

Prime Day

An utterly disappointing day. One which likely had a lot of hype and build up leading up to the day, but ultimately failed to deliver on its promises or live up to one's expectations.

Damn, I waited in line for hours to buy my new phone and now it turns out that the thing is totally lame, apps are lagging, and it keeps dropping calls. This has been a total prime day!

YouTube Effect

The phenomenon in which one navigates to a single video hosted on Youtube (either by URL from email, friend, forum post, by searching, or otherwise) and find yourself clicking on related videos until you wake up hours later to find yourself watching Chocolate Rain for the umpteenth time or enjoying the musical stylings of Rick Astley.

The YouTube Effect can apply to any other video, image, music, etc. site that shows related files or pages on whatever page you are viewing.

Shit, I told myself I'd only watch that ONE Lady Gaga video on YouTube, but before I knew it, it was 3 AM and I was watching mindless crap like fat ladies yelling at skater kids. Damn YouTube Effect...
