two-legged cattle

When people mindlessly do something without knowing any reason for doing it, they become like two-legged cattle.

Preparing to Hibernate

What sWindles says when it starts up after hibernating.
sWindles meant to tell you that it's preparing to hibernate before it hibernates because it thinks that you're such a complete idiot that you don't know that you just told it to hibernate. However, since sWindles is the idiot that it thought you were, it tells you when it wakes up instead.

screensaver

A piece of software, usually something lame that was installed by default with your OS, that takes over when your PC thinks you're not using it any more.
Some screensavers are cute, like Viking Kittens, and some have a purpose, like Make Love Not Spam, but most are just unimaginative lameness that installed by default with sWindles.

tubular

Late 70s and 80s slang, adj. As groovy and as it gets. Too cool to be just a passing fad, like saying tubular turned out to be.

Derived from a way cool 1973 album, titled Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield.

Vals picked up the word and that was the death of saying tubular. If it weren't for so many Vals saying, like tubular that other people associated it with Valspeak, people wouldn't have become afraid to continue saying tubular when Valspeak went out of style.
Even now, Peeps are still grooving to Tubular Bells, and they figured out by the 80s that it wasn't just a passing fad, so anything groovy enough to outlast a fad became tubular. It's too bad saying tubular wasn't tubular.
