A hybrid of chimp and computer, a chimputer is a machine that behaves badly, especially one that had previously operated well, until some attack or catastrophic error that requires the attention of an administrator or a security investigator. Possibly a result of mishearing or misunderstanding, the variant "chumputer" is also occasionally encountered.
Man, I had a gigaquad box this morning, but after that power surge, it's just a chimputer.

Little friend; use of the prefix "mini" to produce an affectionate diminutive from the Russian word "drug" (transliteration) or "drook" (phonetic transcription), corresponding to the French "Petit Ami" which extends to the definition "boyfriend" and even to the feminine form "girlfriend." Generally meaning "compatriot" or "close associate." Related to the already-cited "Slooshie" derived from Russian "slushitj" from "slykhitj" meaning to hear or listen (depending on aspect: perf/imperf). Extract of dialect evolved from book/movie "A Clockwork Orange."
