harang

Misspelling (sometimes intentional out of ease) of harangue, which is a tirade or rant, whether spoken or written.

In this usage it is usually playful and friendly banter suggesting the other person forcefully remind them later of their failings.

If used in reference to other people (particularly a work superior) it usually delicately and formally suggests the other person was being irritable/annoying in a way that is not career limiting.
"I have a meeting to go to, harang me about that letter later."

"Colleague1: Simon was haranging me over that corporate newsletter.
Colleague2: Ignore it, he was just mad it didn't have his name in it."

check it in

Computing: When you commit some computer programming code to a code repository. Technically incorrect and a confusion of the 2 computer SVN (SubVersioN) expressions "check out" (which makes a local copy of the code for modification) and "commit" (which places code and code changes in the repository making that and all previous versions available to other users)
Guy #1: My code is so awesome; the customer will want to have my babies.
Guy #2: Can't see that happening, but make sure you check it in anyway.
Guy #1: Code checked in. The turtle is happy.
Guy #2: Your code isn't the only thing that needs committing.

pairing

Taken and adapted from Bluetooth pairing (when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to communicate with one another).

In bluetooth, When this happens, the two devices join what is called a trusted pair. When one device recognizes another device in an established trusted pair, each device automatically accepts communication, bypassing the discovery and authentication process that normally happen during Bluetooth interactions.

This can however be used when on the town to refer to women you hope to hook up with.
<aie93> Seen anyone to pair with yet?
<Matthew1471> nah, that woman pushing the pram looks already paired.

Pairing is the verb meaning "to pair"
