the keyboard layout before QWERTYstepped up to the plate.

Was used on old, crappy typewriters that jammed alot, so they made DVORAK keyboards instead of ABCDEF keyboards so typeists wwould type slower.
Why it went out of use I don't know. It's probably because typeists memorised the DVORAK combo, and made DVORAK typewriters jam, too...

A combo of a user and a loser.
A luser is a person who tries to install software on their CPUer, but they end up calling customer support saying that the installer package asked them to press any key to continue, but they can't find a single key marked any...

Short for "to the third power."

Came from the fact that if you got all the square units from cubing a number and put them together, it would make a 3-D cube.

See also: cubed root
"Three cubed = twenty-seven."
