Charlie

Slang used for the Viet Cong during the Vietnam war. It originates from the radio phonetics used (VC --> Victor Charlie), and was shortened to Charlie.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown.

second cousin

If a resident of the deep south, please see wife. Otherwise, somebody you'll probably rarely meet.

Uneducated southerner: I jes' married mah secind cusin!

Everybody else: I can't come to the party. I gotta go to my second cousin's funeral, even though I never knew him.

flux capacitor

A fictional device from the movie Back to the Future that allows travel through time. It can also be used as a scapegoat for computer problems when people ask dumb questions.

Some guy called me to ask me why his computer wasn't working during a power outage, so I told him his flux capacitor was broken.

white flag

1. The universally recognized symbol of surrender.
2. The French national flag.

1. Sir! We're losing our troops fast! We cannot hold out against this assault. I suggest we raise the white flag.

2. German tourists! We surrender!

404

Error returned when a server cannot find the requested page.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I websurfed, weak and weary,

Over many a strange and spurious website of 'hot chicks galore',

While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,

And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour.

"'Tis not possible," I muttered, "give me back my cheap hardcore!"

Quoth the server, "404".

black eye

A cup of coffee with two shots of espresso in it.

I was tired and needed to finish my paper, so I made a black eye.
