pinwheel of death

When one is using Macintosh OS X, and the computer crashes by turning the cursor into a pinwheel and not letting you do anything. SImilar to the Blue Screen of death from the old Windows NT days, but, like many Apple products, cuter and more friendly looking.

"Whoops! I tried to open two programs at once on this iMac with the stock 256mb of RAM. Now the keyboard and mouse button aren't working."

"Yup. Looks like you got the old pinwheel of death."

Janey

A novice female, generally one from the city attempting an outdoor sport. A female Joey. Generally not used as an adjective, though.

Originates with people from the greater Boston or NYC areas traveling to ski resorts in northern New England or Upstate NY, and shouting things like "Hey, Janey! Janey, hit the jump!" to each other, when they clearly have no idea what they're doing.

"Look at that freakin' Janey. I saw her out skiing this morning and she didn't make it off the Green lift once."
