"Degrees"; the "degree" sign. Commonly used in temperatures, angles, and geographical coordinates, it can typed on a PC by hitting Alt-0176 (using the numeric keypad), and its HTML code is °. I wouldn't be surprised if someone's used it in a job advertisement before.

Phishing scams that contains numerous grammatical errors, as if they were run through an automated translation service (such as Babelfish or Google Translate).

Amount per hundred. A concept which many people are somewhat naive about. Often abbreviated as "%" (the percent sign).
I've read that people will often treat a 0.1 percent chance as less than a 1-in-1000 chance, even though they are exactly the same amount. *shrug*

Fear of Jersey barriers and construction barriers. Its primary symptom is a tendency to drive slowly and/or hug the opposite side of a lane where such barriers are present.
Although the shoulder work didn't actually block traffic, things were still slow from a few drivers getting barriernoia.

Also used in many computer codes for variables, or for encoding special characters in web addresses.

1% = 1/100 = 0.01 ; 100% = 1
Why do some coaches ask you to give it 110%, when 100% is (by definition) the most you can give?
The code for a % sign in a web address is %25.

An old-fashioned 5.25-inch floppy disk, commonly used in early personal computers (such as Apple IIs and IBM PCs). So nicknamed because, unlike 3.5-inch floppies, they are flexible enough to bend when waved (that is, they flop around).
I should put a 5.25" drive in my old computer and see if there are any DOS games I want from the old floppy floppies.
Circa 1990:
Person A: "Can I borrow a floppy disk?"
Person B: "Hard floppy or floppy floppy?"
