Braveheart's thirst for blood's definitions

peltier

1. A flat white square with two wires coming out of it, that, when hooked up to electricity, becomes hot on one side and cold on the other. Reversing the connections will swap the hot and cold sides. A solid-state heat pump. Found inside those iceless 12 volt coolers and on some overclocked computer chips. They are not usually used as a room air conditioner because they have a energy efficiency rating of less than 1, i.e. they generate more heat than they move. They have the advantages that there's no mechanical parts to break down, and no environmental issues with refrigerants such as the Freon used in a compressor, and they operate at 40dBa with fan instead of the 68 dBa of a commercial compressor with fan (read: much quieter)

2. A person's last name, so called because the first Peltiers used to collect pelts like fur trappers.

1. "My friend hooked up his peltier backwards, cooling his heatsink and heating his processor."

2. L. Peltier went out fur trapping with Phillipe Charmeoux back in the fairytale era.

non-music

So-called music which is either someone talking (they call it rapping) about how they busted a cap in their wife's head over less than 7 seconds of unique sequences of tones (usually bass), or music where an electric guitar is strummed at 100% total harmonic distortion and someone screams worshipping praise to Satan but you can't understand them and it sounds like they are trying to throw up.

Most of what the radio plays these days is non-music. There is no melody.

555

The number of Wiccans, their official symbol (the pentacle) having 5 points, 5 letter "A"s, and 5 lines (minus the circle). This is in contrast to 666 and 777. 111 is 1/5 of 555, 1/6 of 666, and 1/7 of 777. Also can be pressed in a chat room if you're into that sort of thing.

Did I remember to mention that there's 5 elements too? Earth, Air, Water, Fire, and Spirit.

A Witch's sacred number is 555, a Satanist's 666, and a Christian's number would be 777.

Press 555 if you're Pagan.

firewall builder

1. A webmaster or moderator who chooses to avoid contact with every single other person simply because they had a bad experience with exactly one bad apple. Usually very lazy and refuses to answer questions about their website, or in the case of moderators, cancels/censors posts about things they disagree with just because he wants to be a jerk about it. They have very few friends, because they build a wall around themselves. Often a firewall builder takes a popular domain name and makes it a nothing site.

Don't bother e-mailing Legolas about his website, he's a firewall builder. Why are you posting praise to God to an AOL user? That's a sure way to create a firewall builder.

Deadlock

A situation between 2 people where each is waiting for the other's task to finish, so nothing gets done. When you walk down a narrow hallway, and you go to one side so they can get by, then the other person goes to the other side, blocking you again...that is deadlock. Deadlock is also when you go shopping with your mom in a strip mall and you don't say where to meet each other, so you go looking in store A while your mom looks for you in store B, then you get the idea that she's looking in store B, so you go there at the same she decides to look in store A. Named after the computer processing term of the same name.

I always get deadlock when walking down the aisles at the convenience store, they are so narrow.

Hat-Trick

In hick country where there's no public transportation, you have no car, and your parents would rather go to Guantanamo Bay to be tortured than drive you anywhere...this is when you have breakfast, lunch, and dinner at 3 different restaurants (not at home) in different locations in the same day. An incredibly rare event worthy of taking your hat off and saluting.

Brent rarely gets to go out to eat, but today he had the Hat-Trick, going to Dunkin Donuts for breakfast, Burger King for lunch and the 99 restaurant for dinner.

Statue

(verb)To ruin the rest of your life via a stupid choice you made. Examples include procreating illegitimate children, landing yourself in jail, drinking and driving resulting in below the neck paralysis, becoming a vegetable from too much drugs, etc. If you end up dying shortly after the mistake, it doesn't count as being statued.

"Finally we run the trojan which causes you to smoke a joint and get 20 years to life. We see a brief image of you getting high on the convenience store's security camera. Your life is now as useful, and entertaining, as a statue."
