PEBTAC

Term used by system administrators and help desk technicians when an internal customer has a problem that no amount of technical/technological "fixing" will resolve. Stands for "Problem Exists Between Terminal and Chair"

IT Manager: The VP of Marketing needs help with his mouse again.
Help Desk: Well, we already replaced it with a newer model and updated the driver. This is obviously a case of PEBTAC.

trip hop

An obnoxious catch-all term that, like so many others, used to mean something. Say what you will about tempos and influences, but the fact remains that the term "trip hop" has been co-opted by under-informed marketers wanting to cash in a on groups and artist with actual talent such as Tricky, Portishead and Massive Attack.

Sneaker Pimps, Morcheeba, and Hooverphonic are sometimes called trip hop groups.
