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.

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.

Cluracan: ffos

bashbaiter

Someone who submits quotes to www.bash.org that never actually took place. These logs usually contain the bashbaiter's name as the author. Some popular topics for bashbaiting are quotes from comedians that have been turned into typical IRC sentences, funny scenarios the author invented, and modified conversations to be much funnier.

They do this to get their name out as a funny person and to get the most votes.

guy: hey, check out bash.org!
(everyone looks)
dude: i never said that, you damn bashbaiter.

David: Oh, thanks. I'll tell him!

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.

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".

MetaTagged: Hey.
SyndLig: ck.
MetaTagged: Typowned!
