alert oriented debugging

Debugging JavaScript code using alert statements to determine flow of control and inspect variables.

My browser doesn't have a JavaScript debugger so I have to resort to alert oriented debugging.

swell foop

A spoonerism for "fell swoop", that is, a single action which accomplishes multiple goals.

I deleted all my System32 files in one swell foop! Now I'll never get a virus again! Hey, what's with this blue screen of death?

Star Fox boss

A vehicle, especially a spaceship, that travels faster in reverse than going forward, just like any of the ever-retreating bosses from the Star Fox games.

Klingon honor demands that you not fight like a Star Fox boss!

HP bucket

In a game, something that takes a lot of damage, then suffers Critical Existence Failure, without gradually losing functionality as it takes damage.

"Characters in D&D are such HP buckets! Play a real RPG that has a proper wound system!"

porch room

An enclosed patio attached to a house.

Don't let the dog out in the yard; it's raining. Just let him play in the porch room.

replacepasta

A text editing error which occurs when you run a global search & replace and replace too many items.

Oh no, I turned all the plus signs into ampersands, even the ones in the JavaScript! Stupid replacepasta!

shipoopy

A portmanteau of "shit" and "poopy", used as an interjection when catching oneself swearing in front of children or the elderly.

Shipoopy! How many times do I have to tell you not to leave your Legos on the floor?!
