Windows Time

An irrational measure of time that is based on no man's reality, Windows time constantly changes values and bears no resemblance to reality. Basically, time on a sliding scale.
Husband (on cell phone) - Don't worry, honey, I am coming to get you, I'll be there in 10 minutes.

Wife - Is that real time or Windows Time?

Snow Panicker

A wussy who freaks out at even so much as a quarter-inch of snow.

Employee Jack: He called in, said he couldn't make it in today, the weather was too bad.

Boss: There's barely a quarter-inch of snow out there!

Employee Jack: Yeah, Chief, I know...Bob is a snow panicker.

PEBCAK

What the actual issue is on 90 percent of all calls to technical support/I.T. help desks, it is an acronym meaning "Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard."

The use of this term became common when tech support people began to have a need to vent frustration on arrogant callers who had, in fact, themselves caused the problem, yet continued to insist it was the computer's fault, or the techie's fault.

So you would explain to the user that it was a PEBCAK error, and then walk them through how to fix it.
John (technical support person, just leaving work, holding his head in his hands)...

James (technical support person just coming on shift, passes John on his way out)

James: "Rough day today, John?"

John: "Yeah, 99 percent of my calls today were PEBCAKs...do they make Excedrin in one-pound tablets? I have a headache the size of Texas!"

Griefer

Someone on an Internet Forum Board, who repeatedly harasses another person, intending to drive them off the Forum, and/or ruining the entire Internet experience of the target by following them to other boards to continue the harassment.

Griefers are adept at following Forum rules while violating their spirit...or have managed to ingratiate themselves with Administrators, so that they rarely get punished for their actions.

Griefers are basically cowards who hide behind a screen name and would not have the sack to say to anyone's face, what they say to people online.

Tactics used by griefers:

1. Making "clever" comments - Making carefully crafted nasty comments to or about another member. The comments stay within the rules while violating the spirit of the rules.

2. Gang-banging or dogpiling: Recruiting others (usually their online friends) into joining them in targeting the victim.

3. Flame-baiting: See #1 above - done in order to goad the victim into responding in a manner in violation of the rules, out of anger - causing the victim to then be punished/banned by the Forum Administrator (pets of Forum Admins frequently do this and get away with it.)

4. Stalking: After driving the target off the Forum, following them to other Forums to continue the attacks.

5. Drive-by: Signing up under a different name in order to take a cheap shot at the target. Griefers also frequently use other tactics, including using a fake IP address when griefing, in order to avoid punishment.
Joe flames John on every Forum John goes to. He is such a griefer!
