shock site

A website used with the express purpose of startling the living crap out of anyone you link it to. Examples include tubgirl, lemonparty, and goatse.

Watch out for that link. It redirects to some shock site I've never seen before.

we get letters

When used by a writer (usually a columnist or a blogger), indicates that a description follows of one or more letters to the author that might be considered weird, hostile, or otherwise unusual. Comes from the title of a Perry Como album.

"So he tells me that I'm a bigot because I don't support the rights of husbands to beat their wives. I tell ya, we get letters."

Doreknob

A person, usually a self-proclaimed leftist, who is a fan of pseudoleftist podcaster and “comedian” Jimmy Dore. Usually the burned-out husk of a BernieBro; likely to be fond of saying “I didn’t leave the Left, the Left left me”.

He used to be a BernieBro; now he can't stand Bernie so he became a Doreknob. I wonder if anyone's remind him that a leftist should never be a Trump supporter.

jargon file

www.catb.org/jargon, the world's greatest collection of geek slang.

I heard the word "bagbiter" the other day, so I went to the Jargon File to look it up.

wirewater

Yeah, I hit the wirewater so hard last night that I had the shakes all morning. Not fun.

TI-83

A device created by Texas Instruments primarily as a productivity sink for math students. Has long since been replaced by models capable of creating even more distraction (like the TI-84 Plus).

It is true that I would never have gotten through college calculus without my TI-83, but seriously -- what did my professor think I was doing with it out in the middle of friggin' July with all the other summer school tards?

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.
