White Noise

Reasonably obscure punk band from Minnesota during the mid-eighties. Not skinhead, despite the name. They were just white and noisy, plain and simple.

Matilda fell on the beer in Richard's basement while White Noise repeated their first set.

Put his boots on

Used to describe someone (typically a male) who has apparently completed a sexual conquest. Derived from the original Star Trek televison series in which, on several occasions, Captain Kirk obviously bedded the hot woman who is never seen again. ...Alien chick in 60s go-go/hippy fashion apparel primping while Kirk pulls his Star-Fleet-issue black leather boots on.

A smarmy, smug man walks out of bedroom at a loud party. "Observe! Manfed has just put his boots on! Matilida will be out shortly!"

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."

flan

Short for flannel, the comfy wintertime fabric.

"Matilda sure looked hot in her new flan jammies, 'specially 'cause she forgot the pants."

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!)

cube horizon

In a vast cubicle office environment, when one stands up in one's own cube and looks along the tops of the many cube walls stretching out to the horizon. The cube horizon can be interrupted by the heads of people walking around. And by many heads at once if there is a loud, unexplained noise in the area. This can result in a phenomenom called prairie-dogging: many people stand up and look around like prairie dogs coming out of their holes.

I first came across "cube horizon" in James Hynes' novel "Kings of Infinite Space."

Having decided to sneak out early, Manfred casually stood up and surveyed the cube horizon for those that might spot him.
