Downstrike's definitions

borrowed time

Mortgaged your home to buy a Rolex.

Seriously, it means to live beyond your life expectancy.

Some of my hard drives used to be in 486es, so they're living on borrowed time.

It isn't much use being a CBer unless you have your ears on.

Watchtower

Proper form: The Watchtower.

A Bible-based magazine published by Jehovah's Witnesses. It, and all associated publications are supported by donations, so they are available without cost.

The Watchtower is published by a non-profit organization, Watchtower Bible and Tract Society. "Watchtower" has never been the name of a religion.

Chippy

A name given to a disoriented sea lion that swam up the California Aquesuct almost as far as Los Banos.

Chippy was named after CHiPs by the CHiPs who were wondering what the heck to do with a sea lion in the desert-like west side of San Joaquin Valley, which is quite fitting since the CHiPs around Los Banos get disoriented too. So watch out for them on I-5, or they'll run you over!

obstructionist

One who designs or acts in a way that obstructs others, making it difficult or impossible to do what needs to be done. Frequently uses conflict of interest to obstruct others. Also known as an asshole or duh-weeb, and most likely proud of it.

When you have to drive six blocks just to go around the corner, it's a good sign that the engineer who planned the city's one-way streets was an obstructionist.

For more examples, see bureaucracy, committee mentality, legislator, attorney, and corporation.

Snotmail

Frequently euphemized as Hotmail, a MyCrudSoft division that has the audacity to begin charging for a service that still needs beta testing.

I haven't been able to log in to my Snotmail account using Outhouse Express for more than two weeks, and they want me to pay for this?
