Rodney Basil's definitions

Bonzi

Purple monkey who is downloaded on your computer, but as soon as you get him on your computer, you figure out he is totally useless.

Why am I saying "he"? Bonzi is an it. Bonzi isn't even a living thing! Apes are living things, but Bonzi is a simulated one. Thus, I should refer to Bonzi as "Bonzi" and nothing more.

Abstract Art

Art with no defined meaning. Its purpose is to let the viewer interpret its meaning for him/herself. More often than not, abstract art is a collection of meaningless shapes and colors thrown onto a canvas. The intellectual art community, however, looks at this and calls the author a genius, promptly shelling out tons of money to buy a mess that could have been accidentally created by a two year old.

If you can't draw or paint but still want to earn millions of dollars as an artist, don't worry: Abstract art is for you!
