Cybersickness

A term coined in the 1990's, referring to a sense of nausea and disorientation similar to seasickness or car sickness, caused by graphical lag in virtual reality helmets, such as Virtuality arcade systems. When turning one's head the display would lag a fraction of a second behind, resulting in a disagreement between the wearer's sense of balance and sense of sight. Cybersickness is a probable cause for much of the rapid loss of interest in immersive cyberspace and, to a lesser degree, the cyberpunk movement.

I tried playing Dactyl Nightmare on an old Virtuality system, but it nearly made me puke from cybersickness after a couple minutes.

futilitarian

When straightforward design veers sharply off track and spins out of control due to the temptation to add increasing numbers of non-essential features, the basic direction and even function of the design can suffer. This is the basis of futilitarian design.

The Jeep is a small, tough, agile and cheap light scouting vehicle. Its replacement, the HMMWV, is large, expensive and easy to high-center. This is a prime example of a futilitarian vehicle.

Trog

An abbreviation of "troglodyte," which means "one who lives under a rock." Originally referring to individuals of low wit and hostile chauvinistic values, the term has more recently come to be ironically abused by racists and sexists. Also used as a racist term for orcs and trolls in the shared universe setting of Shadowrun - possibly the basis of the redefinition of this word.

The word "trog" is primarily used by trogs, but they don't know that.

Norwegian alligator dong flop

A sexual act in which the male jumps off a 40 foot ladder, rebounds from a trampoline into a vat of curdled mayonaisse, checks to see if the editors are paying any smegging attention whatsoever to the fabricated juvenile sexual horse crap added to this dictionary daily by giggling 14 year old dimwits, then swims out to perform fellatio on a Chevy Nova. Include the word "anus," an act of random spousal abuse, puerile slander or other general troglodytism for bonus credibility.

This slang dictionary is so packed with Norwegian alligator dong flops by now that browsing it has become dull, offensive and uninformative.
