Catch 22

Also known as a vicious cycle - two or more conditions require the other conditions to be fulfilled, but these other conditions also require the original condition to be fulfilled. In simple terms, this means neither can get fulfilled without the other. A needs B needs A.
So I need a key to open this door, and the key is beyond that same door? Damn, this is one big Catch 22.

BOFH

Bastard Operator From Hell. We all know the bitter, secluded system administrator that is so sick of people pestering him that he would all too eagerly delete all your accounts, just because he can. BOFHs are usually operators long enough in the business to have lost all sense of respect for the maggots that keep calling him about their broken computers.

Do not anger the BOFH, for he has root access.
Shit! The damn BOFH changed my passwords again!

not even wrong

Worse than wrong, being an untestable claim. Originally used by physicist Wolfgang Pauli to criticize pseudoscience even harsher than simple scientific errors:"This is not right. This is not even wrong."
Your theory makes no predictions, comes to no conclusions and is just tons of speculation. It's not even wrong.

ad lib

Short for ad libitum. Means spontaneously, without prior practice or just unrestrained. Often refers to artists improvising, also known as "ad libbing", in other words playing from the top of their heads.
After the song was done they kinda started ad libbing into what seemed to be a whole new track, but was really just the guitarist fooling around.

WHQL

Windows Hardware Quality Labs, Microsoft's division where they test software (often drivers) on various hardware to see if it works properly.
I'm not downloading those drivers, I'll wait for the WHQL certified version in case they screw up.

fringe

The edge of something, often used to indicate the borderlines of a certain concept: in politics, the fringe is usually the rare bunch of extremists, or in general the outcast members of a group that are considered less than peccable members.
Shit man, you actually believe a word this guy says? He's a fringe scientist! An astrologist would be more believable!
