Frankenstein switch

A deus ex machina used to perform an extremely complex task in one fell swoop. Often used sarcastically to imply that a task presumed easy is in fact difficult or impossible to automate.

Takes its name from the huge levers used in black and white Frankenstein films to activate the elaborate mechanism used to reanimate The Creature, usually resulting in electrical discharge and cries of "it's alive!!!"

Boss: "Can you migrate all of our users to the new database, change the domain of everyone's email and redirect all traffic to the new datacentre ASAP?"

IT staff: "Sure. I'll just pull this Frankenstein switch..."

Frankenstein Walk

You're in a crowd or at work and waited too long to take a shit. Now you have to walk past everyone all stiff legged to keep from farting or shitting yourself.

We were in the center row at the movies and I had to do the frankenstein walk so I didn't blow someones head off.

Windows Frankenstein

A common type of modified ISOs of the Windows desktop operating system that are found on the internet for free.

They are illegally activated and come with infected files, unknown Services, malicious scripts, etc., without the user's knowledge. They have random problems and errors, including the infamous BSoD screen. Users often try to find non-existent solution to fix them because of these mysterious errors caused by altered system files and Registries.

Surprisingly, these versions became popular since the XP era.

Have you ever used Windows Frankenstein before?

Full Frankenstein

as opposed to having "a little work done" women who go ape-shit with the cosmetic work have gotten the "full Frankenstein" (ie, full monty @ cosmetic surgery)

OMG, did you see those new pictures of Heidi Montag? Bitch went full Frankenstein!
