offensive

A highly subjective interpretation of something real, imagined, or interpreted as being demeaning; very often the use of complaint to attack someone while paradoxically assuming both authority and victimhood; the use of complaint as a sociopolitical weapon or vehicle to often unmerited benefit, privilege, or compensation.

Their being offended is deeply and inheirently offensive to me! I demand you recognize my victimhood and give me what I want now!

chiPhone

One of many chinese-manufactured clones of Apple's iPhone.

The Meizu M8 and the CECT P168s are pretty nice little chiPhones, but aren't as nice as the iPhone.

you can't polish a turd

unconvincingly attempt to make an irreconcilably bad situation look good.

They're trying to portray the poor financial reports as positive, but you can't polish a turd.

chivalry

The act of a self-deluded sucker. Self-destructive self-sacrifice in favor of those seeking to exploit or destroy the practioner. Self-debasement to those seeking exploitive profit and lack of due recriprocation. Often stupidly misconstrued by those practicing as honorable or altuistic.

Many travesties of justice, self-destruction, and the concealment and promotion of evil have come from the chivalry of fools.

Beachball of Death

The Mac OS pointer icon of a colorful spinning wheel indicating the program currently under the mouse pointer is no longer responding. Called the beachball of death if the program never recovers or causes the operating system to become so busy (usually due to insufficient memory) that nothing else responds.

I ran a new shareware program, but killed it after I got the beachball of death.

FrankenMac

A usually fully functional almost-Apple Macintosh computer rebuilt from various dead-Mac pull-out and commodity PC parts to avoid Apple's high prices for similar Apple-sourced but functionally identical parts. A cousin somewhat to the Hackintosh.

Jim got a bunch of Apple and non-Apple parts from some dead Macs, PCs, and his own workbench and cobbled together a little FrankenMac. Not quite as pretty but it works fine.

NINJA

A recent type of mortgages given to those with no apparent means and little to no chance of rendering repayment. NINJA is an acronym referring to the borrower as having No Income No Job or Assets.

The housing bubble was greatly helped by financially suicidal bankers issuing NINJA loans like candy to anyone who could fog a mirror!
