The number of ads that Facebook or Twitter show you in the newsfeed or stream vs non-ads content.
This is how it was used in a recent earnings call:
I think you talked about being very conservative in terms of ad load. Could you quantify a little bit how you think about your ad load versus what else is out there in the industry, say, Facebook's 5%, how we should think about where your ad load is versus there and versus where it could go in the future? And then any quick comments on the adoption of the Amplify product?
As it relates to ad load, we're not going to share a specific number. But I think if you were to just look at the ad load even as a user, you would see that it's very light. And as I said, light relative to others in the industry, and we believe very much even on an absolute basis. So we're very cognizant about that ad load. And as far as taking ad load up, as I mentioned, there was a modest increase in Q4. That was again largely driven by the fact that we had high-quality advertiser demand and, therefore, high-quality relevant ads to share with our users. So we look at that as a key component in how we would drive ad load going forward.
When you are doing something really important and an Ad pops up. You click the close button over and over and it wont close. Then, you are forced to restart your computer, causing you to lose everything you didn't save.
Person 1: Damn it! I just got Ad Bombed
Person 2: I did last night. I was forced to restart my computer.

Attacking someone's grammar/spelling in debate rather than focusing on their argument. An intentional play on the word "ad hominem".
Person A: I think you're argument is illogical. Here are several well-reasoned arguments why I think so.
Person B: It's "your", not "you're". I will now call you names like "illiterate imbecile" while completely ignoring the fact that you pwned me in reason and logic.
Person A: That's an ad homonym attack.

An opportunity. Most commonly used in skiing and snowboarding, though is also can be used in describing a person.
Jeff came by a want ad and took off to jump the cliff.
Lauren saw a want ad and scored his phone number when her friend went to the bathroom.

The American Ad Council produces advertising materials across all media to promote values beneficial to the American public, or some such ridiculousness. Failed crusades include the war on drugs, the war on smoking, the war on teen pregnancy, and, more recently, the war on being fat. Ad Council commercials tend to be smarmy, overbearing, and idiotic.
"I'm not a chicken; you're a turkey!"
"This is your brain on heroin. This is your LIFE! Your family!! Your dog..."
You may remember these television commercials, brought to you by the Ad Council.
