Kneejerk Corruptions, Incorrigible

The second-leading source of antitrust, right on the heals of MyCrudSoft sWindles. Frequently euphemized as Network Solutions, Incorporated.

In 1999 and 2000 Kneejerk Corruptions, Incorrigible held my domain name for ransom for seven months while I tried to transfer it to a different registrar, until I got the Better Business Bureau on their case.

Entertainment

Anything that causes enjoyment. Requires an audience, or there is no one to enjoy it. That which is enjoyable varies from audience to audience, so the precise definition of entertainment is a variable dependent upon the audience.

There is no entertainment on the planet Venus because there is no one to enjoy what ever is happening there.

If it wasn't for some very strange people, most of what is on television would not be entertainement.

titillation

n., Excitement, usually Sexual or romantic, causing a hard on of the pecker and/or clit and nipples, but it may occur with other forms of thrill-seeking, such as extreme sports, extreme amusement park rides, or space monkey.

The occurrence of tit as the first syllable of titillation is purely coincidental.

v. form, titillate.

The road between Merced Falls and Hornitos, where it passes around the buttes, has such perfect hills for a roller coaster ride that little kids get titillation riding in a car driving on it.

Windows Downdate

The most prolific source of computer trojans online, frequently euphemized as Windows Update.

Windows Downdate frequently prompts the user to "update" Windows/MSN Messenger to version 4.7 even though version 6 or 7 is already installed.

After installing SP2, Windows Downdate wanted me to update a bunch of things that I updated before SP2, so I don't know if SP2 downdated them, or if Windows Downdate wanted to downdate them after SP2 updated them.
