bug tennis

The act of passing a software issue back and forth between two developers, each claiming it's the other's responsibility. Usually in Bugzilla, though other issue-tracking software applications are acceptable.

Manager: Why hasn't that issue been fixed yet??
Employee: Ron and Jon have been playing bug tennis with it for weeks now...

The phenomenon in which being in love with someone makes them appear more physically attractive to you.

My wife's even prettier than the day we met! Must be the love goggles.

Man Magic

The art and science of fixing things through brute force, random prodding, or just dumb luck. Also applies to freeing stuck objects, moving heavy things, or anything else that requires more physical prowess than mental.

Me: *fixes rattling bathroom fan via unscrewing the cover, poking a few things with a finger, then screwing the cover back on*
Wife: How did you do that??
Me: Man magic.

Banal Sex

Same-ol' boring sex.

I had some banal sex with my wife the other day. Meh.

Erpl

A very specific form of typo, in which your brain gets ahead of your fingers and you transliterate the letters of a word in a creative or amusing way.

"#!/usr/bin/erpl" was the original erpl. "Urban diciontary" is another example.
