A programming language for Real Men. Most languages try to provide a simplified way to solve specific problems well. C++ makes no such concession and tries to be mediocre at everything. It lets you program at a very high level, and a very low level in the same program. It lets you write procedural code, object oriented code, generic code and mix them all up. It makes you decide everything and provides no help if you get it wrong.
It is by far the biggest, most complicated, ugly, down-right dangerous language you can use. But it does run fast. It takes at least twice as long to program in C++ as any other major language (except C).
The men who program in C++ are Real Men. The women who program in C++ are Real Men too. You can spot a C++ programmer from their testosterone fueled swagger, and the unbelievable amount of contempt they inject into the phrase Java "programmer". They'll probably do the air quotes and all.
Dev: 'Hey, Reg, you know C++ right? What does:
".\src\Cont.cpp(52) : error C2679: binary '=' : no operator found which takes a right-hand operand of type 'int' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

Reg: 'You missed a semicolon at the end of the line.'

c! Is used most commonly by Dream SMP fans (mostly on twitter) to define someone on the Dream SMP's Character.
C! Is just an abbreviation of canon/canonical.
When using c! one is referring to a character rather than the person portraying said character.
c!Ranboo is very forgetful.
While Ranboo is probably not as forgetful as his canonical self.

The majority of one's transcript should they opt into their local college of engineering.
I was certain I failed that Calculus III course, but thanks to the powers that be, I was blessed with a C-.

Anime/cute section of 4chan. Calm and sporting a slow post rate, /c/ is a novelty compared to the other boards. Mainly an imageboard meant for posting images of anime/videogame girls that are cute/moe in nature.
"Wow, /c/ is on its way to its one millionth post! Sure took it long enough..."
"Gee, Bill! How'd you get so many pictures of Konata Izumi?"
"I found them on /c/."
