Cartoonize Yourself 

An annoying-as-frack application used in the form of advertisement on numerous websites. A rather recent phenomenon, it advertises the basic feature of simplifying and altering the hues and pixels in an image to give humans/animals/objects a "cartoonish" look. It's actually really easy to do yourself via photoshop.
Bill: "Hey Frank, guess what?"
Frank: "What? Can't you see I'm playing Modern Warfare 2?"
Bill: "Yeah, but did you know you can use this free online program to make a cartoon picture of yourself? It's called "Cartoonize Yourself" and is so cool!"
Frank: "LOL I'm a graphic designer, I can do that in fifteen seconds on Photoshop."

Bill: "Wow, I suck. I'm gonna go eat my lawn now."

Cantonese 

A language spoken a lot in the south of China as well as around the world (especially in Chinese takeaways). It's roughly as related to Mandarin Chinese as English is to German: A speaker of (only) Cantonese cannot readily understand a speaker of (only) Mandarin Chinese and vice versa. Cantonese is spoken and not written, just as Mandarin Chinese is: Cantonese speakers and Mandarin Chinese speakers write in Written Chinese. It just happens that Mandarin Chinese is closer to the written standard.

If you're from the US or the UK, when you think you hear "Chinese", it's likely Cantonese, especially if your knowledge of "Chinese" is limited to "chicken chow mein".
Mandarin: "Tian bu pa, di bu pa, zhi pa guangdong ren shuo putonghua."
Translation: 'I fear neither heaven nor earth, I only fear Cantonese speakers trying to speak Mandarin'.

Cantonese: "Tin mh geng, deih mh geng ji geng bak fong yahn gong gwong dung wah mh jehng".
Translation: 'I fear neither heaven nor earth, I only fear Mandarin speakers speaking Cantonese so inaccurately'.
