mana

1. A measure of magical energy, the kind used in role-playing games. Also called Wiccan Action.
2. Electrical energy (not power), usually found in a house coming out of a wall, or in a battery. The amount of energy in one mana depends on what role-playing game the person who is using the word is playing.

1. "You only have 4 mana, which is 1 mana short to make Bombur lose 1 pound of dwarven body fat."
1. "It would take 9 mana to resurrect Mordred."
2. Person A:"Do I need to bring extra camcorder batteries?"
Person B:"No, just bring the adapter, they've got mana at the show."
2. "Central air conditioning uses a lot of mana in 98.6 deg F weather when all the windows in the house are open."

witches test

In engineering, any destructive test which results in the system under test being destroyed even if the system passes the test. Usually done more for the entertainment value of destruction instead of achieving any scientific end. Refers to the Renaissance-era test in which a (supposed) witch was thrown into a large body of water--if she drowns, she's not a witch..if she floats, she's a witch and was killed by another method. Both results of the test result in death.

Me:"Don't send your antique radio to Ignautius, he only does witches tests."
My friend:"What does he do?"
Me:"If a fuse blows he replaces it with a higher amperage fuse until something else blows."

Mohammed Mohammed Mohammed

Some guy's real name. It's a valid string for a man of an Arabian/Middle Eastern name, having the first name Mohammed, the middle name Mohammed, and the surname (last name) Mohammed. Also the most popular boys name in the entire world when you use the first name only. Mohammed M. Mohammed would be the way to say it with the middle initial.

I met this 3-1/2 foot tall guy with a black beard and turban who calls himself Mohammed Mohammed Mohammed and I picked him up, cuddled him in my arms and felt the wiry hairs on his chin.

Death++

A mythical programming language, similar to C++, where you describe in a text file how you want someone to die, usually in a gruesome way, and the compiler 3D renders a video file of the death complete with blood and guts. A game which I wish they would make but the do-gooders won't allow it because they think it will make kids go on killing sprees.

--sample Death++ code:--
/* mayandrink.dpp Mayan Sacrifice */
#include <athame.h>
#include <goblet.h>

create(victim1);
Standup(victim1);
SlitThroat(victim1,athame1,1,1){
while throat(victim1) not bleeding{
waitVblankStart()/* wait for blood to start oozing out */
}
}
while throat(victim1) bleeding and goblet not full{
goblet.place(underthroat) /*catch the blood in the goblet */
}
/* the grand finale! drinking the human blood! */
goblet.drink(self,GOBLET_CAPACITY);
end();

Lamer1: "I'm bored, lets play the game Dance Dance Revolution:Skyclad Forest Edition!"
Man1: "Naw, let's make a Mayan Sacrifice Ritual video in Death++!"

MTBF

1. In machines, the amount of time, when operating a bank of machines, between any one of them failing. Not lifetime, as hard drive manufacturers want you to think. It is the average amount of time between failures of indivdual parts when talking about a system.

2. In biology, the average lifespan of each individual organism which has a particular set of genes or "environment of luck". An "environment of luck" can be something like all people who fly on a plane, living around individuals who want you dead in the worst way,all people who smoke, or some other demographic.

1. When punching laced cards on a bank of keypunch punched-card makers, the average MTBF is about three cards.
1. In an average house, it is normal to burn out 3 incandescent light bulbs in a month. Therfore the MTBF is 10 days.
2. Teacher:"King tut only lived to be 19."
Mocking Student:"Wow, his MTBF is in the toilet!"
2. "The MTBF of John Benet Ramsey is quite short."

Wiccan incendiary device

Crusader slang for a Christmas Tree/Solstice Tree. So named because of its traditional Pagan origin and it's uncanny ability to start tragic house fires during the Holidays.

Ibelin left a cigarrette near the Wiccan incendiary device in Xena's house. In 45 seconds the living room was engulfed.

Ron and Aleister took turns hanging pentacles on the Wiccan Incendiary device on Xmas eve.
