overclock

Dextroamphetamine.

This is a play on the term "overclock" as well as "clock" itself. Amphetamine is known as "speed" for good reason, and it has psychosomatic effects analogous to the overclocking of a processor.

Why dextroamphetamine in particular? Simple: in chemistry, an enantiomer (one of a pair of molecules with the same components, but which are non-identical mirror images of one another) of a chiral compound is considered dextrorotatory or levorotatory if it causes the plane of linearly polarized light that passes through it to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, respectively. In other words, it's the clockwise form of speed in a sense.

This uniquely strengthens the "clock" part of the term in a way that other amphetamine mixtures (e.g., racemic, levo only, or Adderall, which is 75/25 dextro/levo), by definition, can't.

Any noticeable dose can have aphrodisiac, euphoriant, or nootropic effects, and each of those can provide an impetus for abuse.

This is known in the United States as Dexedrine and a prodrug, Vyvanse, is also common.

Note: I'm not a doctor. This is not medical advice. I have used both Vyvanse and Dexedrine legitimately and as prescribed. I'm also a sucker for terrible puns.

Twenty migs of overclock, dance 'til my body drop.

Life so good on overclock, party 'til my heart stop.

Mame

So lame, it makes you want to maim yourself just to escape having to deal with it. Like watching fox news, dealing with your friend's conservative father (trying to convince him that global warming is REAL). Also like school, homework, politicians, rick santorum, family values, prisons, tea partiers, fundies, soccer moms, newt gingrich, anything having to do with right wing politics, and basically anything you hate.

That joke was mame. Man, now I wanna maim myself just to get it across that I don't like this stupid shitbag talking about celebrities, gossip Prolefeed (see 1984), and that board of semen-encrusted lies the drudge report.
