typown

When you send an IM to someone as they are is finishing a sentence in another window and catch the last part of their message. Embarassing for the other end but somewhat pride-inducing for the "typowner".

four letter word

Phrase that refers to any number of "bad" words, often seen in forum posts. Can mean shit, fuck, damn, and even other non-four-lettered-words such as ass and bitch. Can also refer to the basic four letter words with suffixes (ie "ed" "ing"). Usually said by some religious freak or ten year old that will get in trouble if their parents see it.

Poster 1
Damn man, that shit is fucking awesome! That bitch totally deserved it!

Poster 2
I could've understood what you were saying without all the four letter words...

<flame war against poster 2 ensues>

ffos

A word/abbrieviation commonly used by "Cluracan", the 1337est programmer of them all. It is unknown what ffos means, as Clur never tells anyone. I, myself, googled it and found "Fist Full of Steel" but that term does not fit the context of the phrase. This term has an unknown meaning, one that will most likely never be solved. Note the pronunciation is only assumed.

crank up

To start something. Derived from the method of starting an old-timey car that literally had to be "cranked up" before it could be run.

Make sure the pool isn't too cold before I bother to crank up the heater.

keep this bumped

Used in message boards to denote a topic that should be kept on the first page through a process known as bumping. Translates to "Great topic, this should be read by everyone." If a thread is worthy enough and succeeds in generating a large pool of bumpers, a moderator will usually come in and sticky the topic.

Sherman Tank

The epitome of down-to-earth, rugged, and masculine design. If something is "built like a Sherman" then it pays infinitely more attention to functionality and die-hard components than something as useless as aesthetic design or nifty features.

I just got this safe. It's built like a goddamn Sherman tank! All it has is a dial, a handle, and one tough-ass casing, no air-cooled inner pockets or any of that bull.
