hubris

Advanced arrogance, thinking you're way more important than you really are and are really presumptious. Closely related to megalomania.

It's about time the RIAA is smitten by some deity for hubris and stop thinking they are the law.

I'm not downloading those drivers, I'll wait for the WHQL certified version in case they screw up.

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.

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.

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!
