1. An automated system operated by keypad entries or infuriatingly poor voice recognition,

2. One or more operators trained to treat you like the stupidest person on earth, and

3. Specialists whose job it is to direct you to a different unit or organization at a different phone number or otherwise indicate your problem is unsolvable.

intertubulism

A figure of speech originating from within the internet, or intertubes, that is not easily translated or understood from outside the context of the intertubes.

Intertubulism carries a negative connotation for its derivation from intertubes, and its parent the series of tubes, itself a subject of folly and ridicule.
Adam: QFT!

Bob: What's that?

Adam: That's an intertubulism for a show of support, "quoted for truth."

speech fart

An imposition of speech, it is the deliberate and selfish use of communication to communicate nothing.

A speech fart can be written or spoken. It contains no wisdom or wit, imparts no useful information, and is often rude or obnoxious. Speech farts are an imposition on others, serving only to satisfy the speaker's own selfish desire to have his or her words seen or heard by others.
Examples of common speech farts:

On an online forum: "IBTL"

In a comments list: "First!"

On Twitter: "Having eggs #breakfast"

In a Facebook status: "John Smith sup"

On the golf course: "It's in the hole!"

Will it blend?

To ask "Will it blend?" is to question whether something is feasible, practical, or realistic.

This interrogative relative to "passing muster" is based in the internet phenomenon created by Blendtec founder Tom Dickson, as previously defined.
Adam: I have a theory that the universe is actually contained in a wormhole on the back of a turtle.

Bob: But will it blend? No -- it won't, because you can't test that! It's not even a theory if you can't test it!
