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.

nastygram

A legal document stating that you should stop doing something, written in legalese and with the threat of taking you to court. A cease & desist letter.
When they released the FooCat :CueCat barcode scanner decrypting software, DigitalConvergence sent them a nastygram. My neighbor's lawyer sent me a nastygram telling me that my son is playing his Satanic non-music too loud and drawing pentagrams using plant food on his lawn, and will sue me for $666,666.00 if he doesn't quit.

Death Penalty

An effective method of deterring truly worthless individuals from doing a capital offense again. Works better when someone is killed based on their actions (like sodomize a child) than things they did not choose to do (like be black) The only thing that rocks more than the death penalty is the Deity. Whoops, one thing rocks more than the Deity, a Deity which has automatic death penalty (which occured in Biblical times)
Schoolite: We should abolish the death penalty because it kills people who have value. Me: Well if you want a world full of people who do violent and sexual crimes, then the death penalty is not for you.

ipod blackburst

A name given to the iPod Video when the software won't let you put videos on it because it's in a standard format instead and not in the nonstandard format the iPod understands. Comes from the television industry term which describes a video signal which carries only a full color black picture (i.e. a content-free video signal).
Mobin had to return his ipod blackburst because it wouldn't play VCD MPEG videos.

dial tone

1. A sound heard on a phone system when you pick up the phone and it's ready to make a call. In US telephones this consists of a 350 Hertz and a 440 Hertz sine wave (two pure tones) mixed together.

2. That ominous sound in definition 1 that indicates your girl/boy friend has hung up on you.
1."To make a call, lift the phone off the hook and place it so that the cord is facing downward near your mouth with the two sets of holes facing your head. Then listen for a dial tone. When you get a dial tone, dial the number." (instructions just in case you're Amish or haven't been in a house since 1927)

2. I got into an argument with my S.O. and got a dial tone.
