Inhuman Resource

A department of company put in charge of exploiting staff to the highest return-to-wage ratio.

This goal is usually carried out without actually expanding the employee's capabilities, but by either raising workload or lowering wages instead.
The Inhuman Resource department directed the serf to the production line, where she would spend 10 hours a day inserting microchips into the circuit boards.

mozilla

Unknown to Internet users, Mozilla is, in fact, the not-so-irradiated cousin of Godzilla.

Where Godzilla has incredible strength, Mozilla itself is frequently frustrated by websites designed only for the dreaded Internet Explorer.

Currently Mozilla has a disowned child: the Seamonkey, which split from it while they were living together as a big happy family with Godzilla and Mozilla.
I was surfing the information superhighway safely and happily with Mozilla when *bang*, I slammed into a website designed only for Internet Explorer. Immediately, I left in disgust

stockbroken

However these clients usually end up on the wrong end of the said service.

hor fun

A southeast-Asian / southern China (if you can tell the difference) dish of pan-fried noodles with eggs, the nominal amount of vegetables and copious amouts of meat (usually chicken, pork or beef, or dog/cat sometimes if bought in southern China)

It tastes pretty good, which gives rise to the "fun" part of "Hor Fun" (say 'ho fun ).
"My gawd what a DISH this is, absolutely the best hor fun I ever had" Bill exclaimed.

Occassionally lonesome sailors on shore leave after long voyages will prowl the streets looking for hor fun, too.
