Short for overclocking.
Any adjustments made to computer hardware (or software) to make its CPU run at a higher clock rate than intended by the original manufacturers. Typically this involves replacing the crystal in the clock generation circuitry with a higher frequency one or changing jumper settings or software configuration.
If the clock rate is increased too far, eventually some component in the system will not be able to cope and the system will stop working. This failure may be continuous (the system never works at the higher frequency) or intermittant (it fails more often but works some of the time) or, in the worst case, irreversible (a component is damaged by overheating). Overclocking may necessitate improved cooling to maintain the same level of reliability.

A gamer has a slow processor, and wants to have his computer run at faster speeds. She/he uses for example a software to accomplish this.

Only Child Syndrome (OCS) - a condition affecting strictly sibling-less children which is primarily characterized by an extreme self-absorbance, the inability to acknowledge the needs or wants of others, and a general disregard for all matters not concerning oneself.
While symptoms may appear to be merely annoying nuisances to observers, if left untreated, the persistent and pervasive effects of OCS symptoms can severely interfere with one's ability to mature into a functional member of society.
Those suffering with OCS often exhibit signs from an early age. They insist on vocabulary such as "my" or "mine" in conversation, show an extreme sense of possession, and demonstrate a general ignorance of social standards and expectations.

Person A: "Is anybody going to eat these last few pickles in this jar?"
OCS sufferer: "Those are mine; my mom bought them for me. Don't touch them, I might want them later."
or
Person A: "Hey, how was your weekend?"
OCS Sufferer: "Hey, my weekend was good. I went to my masseuse, I got my nails done, I bought a puppy who just loves me! But my boyfriend and I got in a fight. He just doesn't get me! I don't ask for much, I just want him to pay a little attention to me sometimes! Ugh, I just hate him. It's always all about him! Why can't he realize what I want is important sometimes too?!"
Person A: "Oh, rats, that sucks. What'd he do?"
OCS Sufferer: "He didn't call me on Saturday."
Person A: "What? Really, that's all? Well, my weekend was good too. Okay, bye!"

Officer Candidate School. Each branch of the United States Military has a school for training officers. Most enlisted men that went on to become officers attended OCS. More information about Army OCS is available at the US Army's recruiting website; www.goarmy.com

Yes, it is addictive, probably inaccurate, and stupid. However, many people (including myself) still love it - that doesn't mean I am trying to pattern my life off of Marissa's, it just means I like the show. So everyone who has nothing better to do than bitch about how it shows the decline of America should find more interesting things to do and realize that everyone is allowed some guilty pleasures; it's only a t.v. show. We all know that.
Miss Mayer 2 U: "(The OC is) A load of crap that illustrates the decline of American society."
Logical Person: "If you allow yourself to be deeply influenced by a show, then yes. But that's your problem."

A great show whose major flaw is its characters are hopelessly gullible and unbelievably trusting of obvious liars, cheaters, and criminals. A guy could do drugs, shoot people, rob banks, and yet as long as he talks about his feelings with Merissa, she will trust him completely and assume him to be genuine. Ryan could see a guy doing drugs, shooting people, robbing banks, and talking to Merissa about her feelings, yet not do a thing because the idiot girl tells him that she trusts that guy.
The OC: Hey Merissa I'm an ex-felon arrested for rape who just broke out of prison. I have drinking problems. Wanna go hang at my sketchy place with us alone and talk about my feelings???
