PHP is a server side scripting language primarily developed and used by the open source community. It is frequently used in conjunction with Linux, Apache, and MySQL, as part of a LAMP set up.

According to their history, the phrase originally stood for "Personal HomePage", and now stands for "Hypertext Processor".

There is a hidden history, though. The initial uses of the language were for serving porn pages, and later, developing an online booking and tracking system for 'escorts'.

As a result, the initial developers began referring to the language as "Pimps, Hoes and Playaz".

Any article, but typically a blog post, that makes the reader say "*arg* I want my five minutes back."

A URL that references a webpage, often one that is dynamically rendered, which displays the information of a single article (usually from an RSS feed) that was featured on the main section of a website but will be or currently is archived.

The tendency of the media to be enamored with John McCain. Being "on the tire swing" is often used on blogs as a shorthand for being in the tank for McCain.

Derogatory term for a filipino, pinay, or pinoy. This is a real term used and rarely in person - originally refers to the fact that as recent as 500 years ago, they were still uncivilized jungle people who's highest evolution was the use of tree houses, (in trees, of course).

Today its used by foreigners as a jab at how proud filipinos are at their assumption they posses any actual intelligence because they were thought how to send text messages and create yahoo accounts. If they ever see anything slanderous to their self-importance mind frame, they will enlist the help of all 1000 literate filipinos to spam the site in question.

Most notably, they flood travel sites with fake tourism reviews and the importance of their nurses - which are hired only to bypass minimum wage laws, not for their skills. They give nursing degrees to teenagers who were solely responsible for introducing H1N1 to the Middle East.

Although they hold the record for being #1 in mail order brides and #2 in prostitution, they banned Alec Baldwin for a comment he made on an American talk show in an American state.

One of the greatest insults to filipi...
