Cold War

The Cold War was a secret conspiracy between the presidents of the USA and USSR, whereby both countries would spend billions of dollars on military and defense and make it look like they considered each other a threat, when their true worry was that Earth would be invaded by aliens, after occurrences such as the Roswell incident.

Some people would say that dead spies and starving USSR citizens were a small price to pay for the amazing technological advances made during the Cold War.

duck tape

Duck tape is NOT a mispronounciation of duct tape. Duck tape is the original name of the tape from when it was first invented and used by the military. Only, when people started using duck tape to repair ducts, it got the name duct tape.

Duck tape sucks for repairing ducts because it falls off after a while. The officially recommended tape for repairing ducts is foil tape.

Duck tape is used in movies extremely often. A few examples:
- Panic Room
- American Pie: The Wedding
- Frailty

The comic boot error has a healthy obsession with duck tape!

spark up a monkey

A bizarre way for geeks to describe opening a terminal program on a computer, particularly on a Unix based computer where terminal programs are very common.

rat

An old beaten-up motorbike, possibly second hand. Owners of motorbikes often affectionately call their crappiest bike 'The Rat'.

It's time I patched up the rat's exhaust pipe.

The rat broke down and I had to push it two miles to get home.
