SigAlert

Any unplanned event that causes the closing of one lane of traffic for 30 minutes or more, as opposed to a planned event like road construction, which is planned separately. Colloquial to Southern California

As I was stuck in traffic due to a SigAlert on the 405, I glanced up at the SUV in front of me (driven by a blonde bimbo, wouldn’t you know it) and saw a bumper sticker that read, “I want to be Barbie — the bitch has everything!”

pornosphere

The pornosphere is a dense layer of internet transport that is stratified in download speed, with faster layers higher up and slower layers farther down. This is in contrast to the spamosphere near the internet's surface, which is slower higher up and faster farther down. The pornosphere is situated between about 100 kbps and 1400 kbps at moderate connectivity. The pornosphere sits directly above the spamosphere and directly below the tunesosphere.

The vertical stratification, with faster layers above and slower layers below, makes the pornosphere dynamically stable: there is no regular convection and associated turbulence in this part of the internet.

As we can see on the map, a high pressure system was building up in the pornosphere today, which was moving from prague to moscow.
