bullshit reason

Call center jargon. This is the excuse that a call center or your hiring agency gives you for your being canned.

"My bullshit reason for Stream was they said I was browsing porn" Jeremy said, "even though they have a blocking proxy installed and I wasn't at my workstation when it supposedly happened."

Neglected to mention the drag

When you grossly underreport the circumstances of an event in a desperate attempt to save face and escape the consequences of your negligence.

GM's Cruise robotaxi company filed a report with the DMV regarding an accident in which a robotaxi hit a pedestrian and drug them 20 feet. The company is now being held liable for filing a false report, as in their report, they neglected to mention the drag, which caused the victim serious injuries

paytard

A paytard is someone who spends money indiscriminately, particularly on the Internet or on technology products.

Mike is such a paytard, he just spent another $400 on a new iPod 40GB even though he already had an iPod 20GB. Is it really that hard to clean up your music library?

MUCK

May also be called Multi User Collective Kingdom or Multi User Construction Kit, depending on who you ask. The most common is Fuzzball MUCK, an open-source project. Two popular MUCKs are Tapestries and FurryMUCK. It is a text-based roleplay environment simmilar to a MUD but without the requirement to kill things and level.

Kevin has thirty-five alts on Tapestries MUCK.

The Big Nasty

A process that used to be used back in the day by call center agents supporting cable modems. It was a long, multi-step average handle time killer that included ripping out Windows' TCP/IP components, removing and re-installing network drivers, deleting the related entries from the registry, deleting some Windows system files that were frequently corrupted, restoring the system files, rebooting a few times, getting up and doing the chicken dance on your desk, calling the Mentor Line a few dozen times and guzzling lots of coffee. Always done as a last resort, usually at the recommendation of a mentor.

John tried ripping the stack and the nic, but that didn't work so he just did The Big Nasty and that got her back online.
