Speed Charging 

When you realize you phone, iPod, laptop, electronic is about to die as you are going to leave and you uselessly believe if it sits on a charger for five minutes it may last a few hours. Even though it makes little difference
Person 1: dude we need to leave what are you doing?
Person 2: Speed charging my phone it might last a little longer
Person 1: it doesn't help... I'm leaving
Speed Charging by Dante's inferno November 10, 2012
Celestial bodies in orbit around the sun at a distance greater than that of Neptune that have sufficient mass for their self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that they assume a hydrostatic equilibrium (near-spherical) shape, and that have not cleared the neighborhood around their orbit.
Person 1: "So what are some plutoids?"
Person 2: " Pluto and Eris are the only known plutoids. Ceres is between Mars and Jupiter, so it is NOT a plutoid."
Person 1: "Whatever. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) is crazy anyway. Who uses this stuff?"
