Code Newton 

A state of alert signifying the imminent arrival of an Apple product, usually a Macintosh computer, iPhone, or iPod. (Or, if you happen to be a collector of old tech, a Newton or Apple ][.)

He's been squeeing like a little girl ever since the credit card was approved. Full-out Code Newton.

escargot 

Explicit porn pictures, particularly tight shots of women's crotches. Comes from the term snail trail.

Q: can i send you some porn or blueprints?
A: No thanks, I'm not into escargot. And blueprints? WTF?

sammich 

A type of portable food that, when fed to a painfully skinny woman, will magically turn her into a screaming hottie with a curvy ass and porn star tits.

I had a friend -- she was cute, but nothing to her. Then i gave her a sammich and she went overnight from Twiggy to Gianna Michaels.

nightlight 

A stub signal left behind in an old format for users who have yet to convert to the new format. The term comes from the SAFER Act, a US law allowing analog TV stations to keep broadcasting information on digital conversion (and, in some cases, local news and emergency information) after the station has otherwise gone all-digital.

I tried running some old Mac software on an old Mac, but forgot the software I was using was PowerPC-only. Good thing the nightlight box popped up; now I have to go find my PowerBook G3.

football hair 

A hairstyle associated largely with African-American men who play American football; essentially a mass of long, haphazardly-done braids, it is somewhere between dreadlocks and cornrows. Sort of like hockey hair for black people.

I saw a guy walking down the street the other day. He was about 6'6" in a business suit with a serious case of football hair, and I had to seriously resist the temptation to ask him where he played.

hockey hair

A mid-length, fluffyish mullet associated with hockey players, especially those from Canada and Eastern Europe in the 1990s. Compare football hair.

Now that's something you don't see anymore -- that guy's got the old-school hockey hair. Business in front, beating in the back.

System D 

The things cooks who are in the weeds do to get caught up. Includes deep-fried steaks, questionably sourced ingredients, illicit bouillion cubes, and lots of other things you really don't want to know about when your order gets to the table. Practitioners of System D are known as débrouillards, which in French means "guy who gets you out of trouble".

I really don't want to see what kind of System D shit goes on back there, nor do I want to know how my steak got to the table in five minutes or why it has paper towel marks on it. Shut up and eat.
