flash

Uncommon usage, technical jargon, verb, meaning 'to erase'.

Comes from 'eeproms' (Electrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory) units in days of yore which were 'flashed' so they could be written on again. Typically, a computer geek would understand this usage.

PC Onwer: "So, should I through my broken computer in the trash?"

Technician: "Make sure you flash the drive first, for security reasons."

PC Onwer: "WTF?"

Tech: "Uhh...erase all the information."

When a police camera, usually mounted to a telephone or utility pole in an urban area, takes a picture of you doing something illegal, i.e., running a red light, speeding, stopping past the crosswalk. Term originated in Philly.
