Slang used by American soldiers in the Vietnam War, sardonically meaning "sorry about that", "too damn bad", or "tough shit". Derived from Vietnamese, in which it means a polite "excuse me".

Cascading StyleSheets is a webdesign language used as an extension of XHTML. CSS is meant to define the appearance of a website, while it's structure is defined by HTML. It is thus called because it uses stylesheets, external files whose properties are applied to the relevent sections of a website. They are 'cascading' because of the CSS rule of specificity.
CSS allows us to apply standard formatting to an entire website. We could, say, apply the selector "title" to every title, and then define it as bold in the external stylesheet. In this way, changing a single line in a single file will update the entire website.
