eBay Millionaire

An online gamer that buys (with real money) currency in an online world (pretend money) from someone who's really good at figuring out how to make money in an online world.

The exchange rate can be outrageous... 20 million in-game currency units for 10-20 actual dollars.

Pythagoras: "That level TWO Cleric just gave me a million gold pieces for no reason!"

Fluffybunny: "Methinks I smell an eBay Millionaire."

fingering

To accuse someone of a misdeed to an authority (as in pointing your finger at someone).

"They found the broken window and asked John about it. He started fingering Manfred right away, so they let him go and hauled Manfred in to talk about it."

bounce a box

IT slang: to reboot a computer. (Bounce = reboot, box = computer). It sounds dirty, so we like saying it.

Carla locked out her account again, so I reset her password and told her to bounce her box.

("bounce a box" -- engine won't let me submit this without exactly the same grammar... please edit this sentence out when approved--thanks!)

gimcrack

An item or feature that, while it initially appears to or is presented as having value, actually turns out to be relatively worthless.

prairie-dogging

A phenomenon where, in a landscape of office cubicles, a number of people stand up to look around over the tops of the cube walls. Usually an unexpected/loud noise or verbal exchange will cause the curious to rise like prairie dogs out of their holes. The people will scan the cube horizon and soon sit back down.

The white noise system was going nuts and making crazy barking sounds--nobody could get much done because of all the prairie-dogging.

oblividroid

A person that automatically does things without thinking about them.

That oblividroid just went ahead and processed the request without even noticing how absurd it was!
