dateability

The degree of "the quality of being dateable" that one possesses.

How attractive that person is to their desired sex.

i.e. How likely a third party would want to date that person.
<Matthew> Sure she's hot, but her high dateability is questionable when you start to know of her outlandish obsessions.

<CharlesLivingston> Listing "computing" as your main interests on Facebook negatively affects your dateability!

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."

Malwarez

Malware installed while trying to obtain a crack or keygen (Warez) for copyrighted or otherwise illegal software, can also apply to malware downloaded over P2P while attempting to access copyrighted files (I do not endorse this)
"OMG 180search?! That malwarez came from some site linked on Astalavista"

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.

travelcard abuse

When you use your annual season ticket travelcard to make pointless and unnecessary journeys just because you can.

The early stages of travelcard abuse can typically be identified by young professionals trying to justify the annual expense of their travel card by stating something similar to "well I have paid for it so I may as well use it".

This eventually progresses into downright travelcard abuse.

Though its origin is when referring to the London Underground it has been known to apply to other annual tickets purchased for other methods of transportation.
I haven't got a lot planned for tomorrow I'll probably just engage in some travelcard abuse.

Let's abuse the travel card and meet up at here *points to random station on map* because I think it has a funny station name.

Why did I go all the way to South London just to go to Mc.Donalds when there's around 46 of them much closer? Because I can! That's travelcard abuse at its best baby!
