staple rot
Condition that occurs when one hoards staples and allows the "adhesive" in the staples to dry from disuse. This results in resistoring, phoning, and stapler jams.
Damn---I'm out of staples, so I have to use these old staples now. I bet all of them have staple rot!

QRM
1) Police, CB operators', amateur radio operators', and shortwave radio listeners' shorthand for interference on radio frequencies caused by other radio stations, as opposed to QRN=noise from car ignitions, power lines, dialysis machines, atmospheric effects etc.
2) Jocularly, the QM city bus lines that run between Manhattan and Queens in New York City, because of the QRM=traffic they always encounter.

I'm trying to get one of the QRM buses to Queens so I could get home and listen to Radio New Zealand International on my shortwave radio before the QRN from Deutsche Welle pwns it.
postal text
The credits, often shrunk to the size of a postage stamp, that you try to catch at the end of a movie or film when it's shown on TV. Often interrupted by music that doesn't even belong to such a motion picture.
I wanted to see where this film was produced but the commercial came on and the credits became postal text.

paid programming
Euphemism for the mindless infomercials or infotainment that you see on TV in the wee hours of the morning on many cable channels. Often consists of BS about products you wouldn't even THINK of buying.
If you wake up at 6 AM and you want to watch some good film on cable TV, forget it: you'll only see that damn paid programming.
