Lady Csyde's definitions
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.

Get the take the pipemug. A phrase used by those attempting to pull an ideological snowjob on their audience; implies that the statement is some deep (often offensive) truth that the Establishment is ignoring or obfuscating, when in all likelihood the snowjobber is trying to disguise a wingnut theory as a piece of significant thought.

Get the politically incorrectmug. Rich middle-aged women with no jobs or other meaningful way to occupy their time, who descend on upscale cafes around lunchtime to hang out with each other more because they have nothing better to do than because they like the company. Generally despised by cafe workers.
I don't know why Ina Garten has this "ladies who lunch" persona -- you know she busts her ass when she goes to work.

Get the ladies who lunchmug. Short pants that end just below the knee (once known as knickers before the British definition took over). Though formerly unisex, capris are now primarily female in association, and tend to look best on tall, big-boned white girls who are unusually bootylicious. Which is not to say other women can't wear them; it's just that particular lot who pull them off the best because designers tend not to otherwise cater to their body types.
You know, truth be told, up until about fifteen minutes I wouldn't have give her a second look, but damn, she's a Woman Who Looks Good In Capri Pants.
