Looks like there's a need something better for SOA....
n. In computing, a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a flexible set of design principles used during the phases of systems development and integration. A deployed SOA-based architecture will provide a loosely-integrated suite of services that can be used within multiple business domains.
SOA also generally provides a way for consumers of services, such as web-based applications, to be aware of available SOA-based services. For example, several disparate departments within a company may develop and deploy SOA services in different implementation languages; their respective clients will benefit from a well understood, well defined interface to access them. XML is commonly used for interfacing with SOA services, though this is not required.
Service-orientation requires loose coupling of services with operating systems, and other technologies that underlie applications. SOA separates functions into distinct units, or services, which developers make accessible over a network in order to allow users to combine and reuse them in the production of applications. These services and their corresponding consumers communicate with each other by passing data in a well-defined, shared format, or by coordinating an activity between two or more services.

SOA developers associate individual SOA objects by using orchestration. In the process of orchestration the developer associates software functionality (the services) in a non-hierarchical arrangement using a software tool that contains a complete list of all available services, their characteristics, and the means to build an application utilizing these sources.

n. A mixed drink, similar in taste to a mudslide, but with remarkable marchino cherry tones, even though it has no marchino cherries. Very tasty! Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
2 shots Bailey's Irish Cream
1 shot Amaretto
1/2 cup Half-and-half
6 Ice cubes
Mixing instructions:
Add above ingrediants in a blender. Blend on high until the ice is crushed. Serve in a cocktail glass. No garnish.
A variation of the drink is called the Spunky Monkey. For those who don't like cherry at all, but do like coffee, replace the Bailey's Irish Cream with Kahlua. Also very tasty!

1. n. A mixed drink. Numerous recipes exist for an orgasm and its variants. Nearly all recipes involve mixing Bailey's Irish Cream with some other liqueur. Recipes also vary names: multiple orgasm, screaming orgasm, screaming multiple orgasm, mutual orgasm, chocolate orgasm, tropical orgasm, bleeding orgasm, orgasmic fantasy, black orgasm, dirty orgasm, kinky orgasm, more orgasms, screaming white orgasm, and of course the screaming multiple orgasm on the beach. Here's my favorite recipe:
Screaming Orgasm:
1 shot Bailey's Irish Cream
1 shot Malibu coconut rum
Pour liqueurs into cocktail shaker. Stir with cube ice. Strain liqueurs into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a marchino cherry. Can be additionally garnished with a condom if you're sufficiently tacky and disgusting.
All orgasm recipes are very tasty!

n. In Baltimoron, this refers to the road that runs through Baltimore, connecting it to the town of Bel Air, MD. The road is US Route 1, and within the city limits north of North Avenue, it is named "Belair Road." As there is no space between "Bel" and Air, Baltimorons pronounce it "B'lair Roed."
Hon, come oen doen 'n' see ol' Scotty here on B'lair Roed. I cain't saves ya noe money n'less you do!

n. The dominant species on Capitol Hill. Fawned over by the slobbering press seeking red-meat ratings. Frequently dine on boring, over-informed, over-intelligent, uber nerdy policy wonks.

n. A mixed drink, similar in taste to a mudslide, but with definite coffee tones. Very tasty! Here's the recipe:
Ingredients:
2 shots Kahlua
1 shot Amaretto
1/2 cup Half-and-half
6 Ice cubes
Mixing instructions:
Add above ingrediants in a blender. Blend on high until the ice is crushed. Serve in a cocktail glass. No garnish.
A variation of the drink is called the Spunky Orangutan. For those who don't like coffee at all, replace the Kahlua with Bailey's Irish Cream. While chocolatey and without coffee bitterness of the Spunky Monkey, it also has an amazing hint of marchino cherry. Also very tasty!

n. In Baltimoron, this is the "home city" of Baltimore. While this is the usual spelling for the word, a more correctly phonetic spelling would be "Bawlamer." (Those of you in the Mid-West might pronounce the first "a" as a short a, and that would be incorrect.) Baltimore is frequently shortened further to "Balmer." Again, this is the accepted spelling, but a more correctly phonetic spelling would be "Bawlmer."
"Doen'cha knoe, I'm from Balamer,
'n' crabs is whut I'm eechin' feur!
Doen'cha knoe, Santa dear,
With sum cold crabs 'nd a beer,
It would be jus like a trip back to old Bal-tee-more,
Baaaaal-teeee-mooore!"
