alert oriented debugging

Debugging JavaScript code using alert statements to determine flow of control and inspect variables.
My browser doesn't have a JavaScript debugger so I have to resort to alert oriented debugging.

alligator in the cargo bay

A task that was taken on and solved out of a desire to take initiative at work. This is a reference to an episode of The Orville in which Captain Ed Mercer asks Bortus what he has been working on, and Bortus replies that there is an alligator in the cargo bay, but he has crushed it with a chair.
Did I fix the SQL injection vulnerability? Of course, it's an alligator in the cargo bay!

Don't let the dog out in the yard; it's raining. Just let him play in the porch room.

'Oumuamua

An interstellar object detected entering the solar system. No one knows for sure what it is - asteroid? comet? derelict alien spaceship? The name is Hawaiian for "scout", since it's the first interstellar object ever detected
I wonder if 'Oumuamua is an alien spaceship? Or is it just a comet?

Star Fox boss

A vehicle, especially a spaceship, that travels faster in reverse than going forward, just like any of the ever-retreating bosses from the Star Fox games.

Tetrising

The art of fitting multiple large objects into a small space, or maneuvering a single object around a tight corner or through a narrow doorway. Can also be applied to numbers that have to total to less than some limit.
My dad is a master of Tetrising. No matter how many frozen goods he buys at the grocery store, he can always find a way to fit them all into the freezer.

Help! I need to fit this 38 inch couch through my 30 inch apartment doorway! Anyone good at Tetrising?

OK, so I have $1500 and I need to pay all these bills totaling $2000... No amount of Tetrising is going to help me here!

So if I can keep my character's encumbrance under 35%, I get a mana regeneration boost... Let's see, I'm at 32% now, if I drop the helm of intelligence, I could equip the bracers of defense against cold... That would put me at 34%, so I should be good... Gah! All this Tetrising of stats is driving me crazy! Why can't they implement a sliding scale for this silly bonus so I don't have to worry about hard limits?!

The sexual reward one receives for winning a match of Super Smash Bros. That is, your controller vibrates. You know what to do.
Yeah! I just beat Pikachu with Samus' screw attack! I got the jigglies!
