skippy list

A list of things you're not allowed to do. Popularized by a website made by a military personnel listing all the things he was no longer allowed to do in the military.

The first rule on Fight Club's skippy list is "you're not allowed to talk about Fight Club".

most-wanted deck

A deck of cards (usually an ordinary set of 52 or 54 playing cards) on which is printed the names and photos of individuals considered by the card printer to be important persons to commit to memory, to make it easier to find and capture them (or kill them).

The official military term for this is "personality identification playing cards".

For the Second Gulf War, Coalition troops were given personality identification playing cards with the names and pictures of Iraq's most wanted.

I could tell the most-wanted deck I got on E-bay wasn't authentic, because while Saddam Hussein was the Ace of Spades, Tariq Aziz was the Eight of Clubs.

middlicious

(adj.) Combination of the words "middle" and "delicious": food which is neither extraordinarily tasty nor truly awful, but simply common, average, or adequate-quality cuisine. Often filling and good enough to eat if you're hungry, but you'd pass it up for *real* food.

Most store-bought pizza isn't superb, just middlicious. Believe me, I've had worse delivered.

desktop graffiti

The annoying tendency of Windows applications to clutter up your desktop, quicklaunch bar, and start menu with multiple shortcuts to their software without bothering to ask permission first, as if you're only too happy to be burdened the convenience of having to click on your mouse one or two fewer times to run the software. Also applies to shortcuts to third-party programs bundled with the installed software, usually unasked-for and often unwanted.

Adobe just auto-updated itself the other day, and boom! more desktop graffiti to delete.

fair chair

The stamped metal chairs (sometimes padded), usually of a puke-brown or dull gray color, with a seat that folds up that you often encounter en masse at public fairs and other gatherings, outdoor weddings, sit-down concerts, church auditoriums, and so forth. Said chairs are designed to be stackable and often come on large racks. Notorious for getting skin-searingly hot if left exposed in sunlight for any length of time.

I went to a concert this summer and nearly burnt my legs on one of those fair chairs!
