Anglicise

To make British, something which isn't generally considered to be so by those pesky Brits.
Curiously, some auto-correct systems replace Anglicise with anglicize.

Windows FP

Windows FP (aka: Windows Fisher Price), is the successor to Windows 2000.

Also known as 'Windows XP'. This was the last stand of a dying corporation to save itself, from itself. The interface was designed by the team who delivered the Apple Macintosh almost twenty years earlier, but is neither as stable, nor as easy to use.

Windows FP was seen by many as an attempt to make the Windows OS more Mac-like. However, with a GUI incapable of smooth transitions, the results appear more like melted-candy corn than the inimitable Mac OS X that it tries so hard to be.

Visual cues apparently have been taken from the local kindergarden. Everything is either big, lurid, or unnecessary (sometimes all three). Plagued with problems throughout, it's party-piece was it's ability to crash all by itself.
Me: "Dude, is that your lil' bro's toy you rollin'?"
You: "No dude, it's my new Windows FP"

rhymes with "cough"

derived from the desire to 'swear without swearing', from a glorious exchange - with nether party swearing one bit!

in an attempt to imply 'f-off', the rhyme was offered up instead. with great surprise the reply was even better than the joke itself...

(also used: 'would you like to play the russian composer?')
me: 'enter facetious remark here'
other: 'enter doubly facetious retort here'
me: rhymes with "cough"
other: er, "rachmaninoff"?

Your wheels are turning!

Somehow or another someone's being annoying with a car. It really doesn't matter why, because deep down they are so in love with their box on wheels that you can employ their ego to assert their downfall.

It can be rather satisfying to enjoy this as a driver, however it can be significantly more satisfying as a passenger. For best results, look terrified!
They: driving/acting like a chump
You: shout 'Your wheels are turning!', whilst pointing at one of their wheels
They: panic & pull over
You: 'Heh heh heh...' FTW'
Your driver/passenger(s): 'you rock'!

EntrepreNERD

An enterprising individual, whose superior technical ability often clouds the presentation to 'normal people' of an otherwise inspiring solution to a frequently infuriating problem.
Steve: "If you just tweak this bit of code, then..."
Human: "Dude! You're such an EntrepreNERD. How DID you know that?"
Steve: "RTFM"

(Note: The use of the name 'Steve' is not directed at a specific individual, but the name does crop-up so frequently in IT, it's uncanny...)
