slideware 

A product or service (usually software based)that looks profoundly revolutionary, extraordinary or ground breaking, but only exists in the form of Power Point pictures. Pejorative term for the fake garbage used to solicit and obtain billions of VC money during The Bubble. Led to numerous heartbreaking all nighters by the poor fools that actually had to try to implement the half baked flakey promoters' con artist Vision.
The electric dog polisher could have changed the world according the the slideware, but none of the code or design ever really existed. The promoter walked off with millions in golden parachute money

silverware 

"Silverware" originally meant "eating utensils made from silver." (An "eating utensil" being a fork, spoon or knife). Now, all eating utensils are called "silverware" regardless of what materials they are made of!
REAL silver eating utensils are expensive. Usually you receive a set of real silverware as a wedding gift & you use the set for special occasions.

I still don't get why stainless steel (or worse, plastic) forks, spoons & knives are called "silverware" WHEN THEY ARE NOT MADE OF SILVER!

Silverware Check 

Used amongst employees of the service (bartender, waiter, busser, etc) field. Meant to bring attention to a certain customer present at a table, booth, counter, or elsewhere within the property for a visually obvious reason without arising suspicion amongst the patrons.
Busser: Silverware check table 85.
Waiter: Holy shit, you can see her tits from here!

Busser: Silverware check the bar top, pretty sure the female at the end isn't old enough to order juice, let alone a drink.
