A hub (sometimes called a repeater) is a layer 2 networking device, similar to a switch, but not as advanced. Instead of sending a datagram to a specific ethernet address, the hub will simply forward the datagram to every port, except for the one it came from. They are common in small networks, but the massive overhead caused by all the datagrams being sent to every device on the network makes them extremely impractical in large networks. They are becoming less common as time passes on. However, they are immune to looped cabling in the network, but more and more switches are equipped with the Spanning Tree Protocol, which prevents against issues with looped connections. Wiring the network correctly also helps with this.
Hubs are used to expand a network. If you need to add devices, and there aren't enough ports available, time to get a hub or a switch.

A slut (male or female). A person who, on a hook up chart, is a central person adding numerous other people to the chart.
She's such a hub. She hooked up with 15 guys and added all their connections to the web.

A hug that involves caressing. It is slightly sexual, something you would not give to your mother.
Dan gave Jessica a hub after the movies one night.

HUB (H.U.B.) is an acronym for "Hot Ugly Boy".
Ugly guy who you know is ugly, but something about him just makes him hot.
Oh, look at that HUB right there. Ugly, but look at his fine ass body.
