desktop graffiti

The annoying tendency of Windows applications to clutter up your desktop, quicklaunch bar, and start menu with multiple shortcuts to their software without bothering to ask permission first, as if you're only too happy to be burdened the convenience of having to click on your mouse one or two fewer times to run the software. Also applies to shortcuts to third-party programs bundled with the installed software, usually unasked-for and often unwanted.

Adobe just auto-updated itself the other day, and boom! more desktop graffiti to delete.

most-wanted deck

A deck of cards (usually an ordinary set of 52 or 54 playing cards) on which is printed the names and photos of individuals considered by the card printer to be important persons to commit to memory, to make it easier to find and capture them (or kill them).

The official military term for this is "personality identification playing cards".

For the Second Gulf War, Coalition troops were given personality identification playing cards with the names and pictures of Iraq's most wanted.

I could tell the most-wanted deck I got on E-bay wasn't authentic, because while Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades, Tariq Aziz was the Eight of Clubs.

punctuicon

From "punctuation emoticon": A smiley used in addition to or instead of traditional punctuation, intended to introduce extra meaning on top of the literal meaning of the sentence in a nonverbal manner.

I told Mike online that he should go DIAF, but I ended my IM with a smiley punctuicon so he wouldn't think I was really that mad at him:

"Go DIAF Mike:)"

extended loan

A method of semi-permanently giving something away to someone while reserving your right to ask for it back later if you change your mind.

I gave my first mp3 player to Jim on extended loan, but since my new mp3 player got stolen, I was able to ask for the old one back.

bikini flail

(usually plural, ie bikini flails)

The chest of a very well-endowed and skimpily dressed woman, who looks like she could slap you unconscious with them.

I asked Maureen for a closer look at her rack, but she knocked me out with her bikini flails.
