White Noise

Reasonably obscure punk band from Minnesota during the mid-eighties. Not skinhead, despite the name. They were just white and noisy, plain and simple.

Matilda fell on the beer in Richard's basement while White Noise repeated their first set.

out-of-pocket

bounce a box

IT slang: to reboot a computer. (Bounce = reboot, box = computer). It sounds dirty, so we like saying it.

Carla locked out her account again, so I reset her password and told her to bounce her box.

("bounce a box" -- engine won't let me submit this without exactly the same grammar... please edit this sentence out when approved--thanks!)

dork

A person that, while bathing in a bathtub, farts and then either bites at or pops the resulting bubbles. I personally first heard this definition in the early 70s.

(bathroom door opens, howl of anguish, door slams) Mister, your wife's a DORK! I mean an ACTUAL DORK!
