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.

Magicant

From a portmanteu of Magician and Can't. A practitioner of Clear Magic (illusion stage magic) that bungles every trick or isn't good with crowds.

Did you see that Magicant? He said he was going to pull a rabbit out of his hat but pulled out a bunch of rotten chicken eggs instead.

DigitalNativeDance

The coolest sound on the Roland D-50 synthesizer keyboard. The sound is made by a short looping digital recording going through built in effects and the sound of the internal recordings of drums looping after you've held down the key for a while. It sounds like natives banging on drums.

You like the Mellotron String section? DigitalNativeDance is da bomb!

DigitalNativeDance is the one preset where you can just hold down one note and it will sound impressive.

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.

Christ on a stick

Referring to the event of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. He was nailed to a cross (standard Christian) or a stake (Jehovah's Witness).

Today's kids don't realize how friendly Jesus is because they've never seen Christ on a stick and they don't know how much he suffered.

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.
