C prompt
Semi-erroneous name for a command prompt in Windows.
Near as I can tell, it derives from DOS, where one would generally boot from their primary hard disk (invariably called the C Drive and be presented with a prompt that looked like "C:\>", indicating the drive they were on and their location in the directory tree.
Considered fairly obsolete, even amongst old DOS hats.

rolls canardly
A fancy-sounding yet affectionate name for a car that is even less functional than a hoopty. A car might be called this because "it rolls down one hill, and canardly get up the next".
Exact origin unknown, but it is a pun on Rolls Royce, a particular expensive make of motor vehicle, and "Canardly", I believe a make of small passenger aircraft.

tissue for your issue
See cheese with your whine, but has some stronger implications - namely that the recipient of the comment actually did have it coming, and there is no room to complain, with the implication that the recipient should quit bawling about it for that very reason.
Oh, the IRS is collecting from you after you decided to protest your taxes? Well, then, you want some tissue for your issue?

cheese with your whine
As in, "You want some cheese with your whine?" Said to people who whine excessively about some otherwise trivial bit of drama. Has a sort of you-had-it-coming flavor to it, and a strong implication from the speaker to the subject that now would be a really good time to shut up, because the whining is rally annoying the speaker.
Comes from that cheese is popular with wine, a beverage made of fermented fruit, and that whine is a homonym of wine.

nigger-lipping
Highly prejudiced description of placing ones' lips entirely around the open mouth of a bottle or canteen, thus opening the possibility of backwash.
Comes from an old stereotype that black people have lips that form a perfect circle and are thusly perfectly adapted.

birdy drink
Juvenile term for a method of consuming a drink from a community container (other than squeeze bottles) without said container actually making contact. The container's opening is placed just above the mouth, and the beverage is poured in. Requires a little bit of practice to avoid making you look like you have a hole in the lip.
