Rosscott's Law

The faster the computer, the faster it can go wrong.
Rosscott's Law burned me when my new computer crashed not less than a day after I purchased it.

Normie

Someone who deliberately places themselves outside the wave of what's popular in technology, entertainment, video games, et al (i.e. they not only "don't get it", they "choose not to get it"). Used frequently by gamers, and fans of anime - especially those who frequently participate in cosplaying - to refer to non-fans.
1) I tried explaining the appeal of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya to my parents, but they stopped listening after about twenty seconds. They're such normies.

2) About halfway through the first song she tried on my copy of Guitar Hero, my normie sister threw down the guitar, called it stupid, and walked out of the room.

Post-Con Blues

The feeling of sadness that comes from leaving an anime convention and returning home to your original, normal life.
Ever since I got home from Otakon, I caught Post-Con Blues, and I haven't been able to get anything done.

Pinball palm

The usually right angle-shaped imprint that appears on your palms after leaning too hard on your arms while playing pinball for too long.
I can't get these big red welts off of my hands. I got pinball palm pretty bad.

Dongon

A portmanteau of "Do nothing, go nowhere"; in essence, it is a term for a person with no ambition, no drive, and no desire to make themselves a better person (by pursuing a better career, higher education, etc.)
It's nice to know that when I become a success several years from now, these dongons will still be working the same dead-end job.

donkeyshow

The opposite of horrorshow. Something excessively bad, undesirable, or destructive to all those involved. Inspired by the Nadsat vocabulary made famous by A Clockwork Orange.
Real donkeyshow, mate.

license to print money

A sure-fire method guaranteed to make copious, innumerable amounts of revenue, usually through a product being sold or an event being offered.
The Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS sell so well, Nintendo treats it like a license to print money.
