High-Fidelity Oscilloscope
1. An electronic device that is overkill or is grossly over-engineered for a given task. An example is a 200 megahertz oscilloscope on your $8,000 CD transport to view sound waves that are four orders of magnitude less clear.
2. Any expensive device bought to "improve" the performance of a system (not just a sound system), when only a small percentage of the potential of the added on device will be used.

They now have a "gaming" network card with a K-shaped heatsink on it, which is about as pointless as a high-fidelity oscilloscope.
So you bought a blu-ray recording deck to get crisp copies off your VHS tapes you taped off of UHF rabbit ears?? You might as well as bought a high fidelity oscilloscope to draw a graph of how often the furnace switches on.
Bob Dylan spent $2,000 on a new Karoke machine with the ribbon microphone,electrostatic speaker, and Akai open-reel deck, but I personally think he wasted his money on a high fidelity oscilloscope.
RiceBoy:My $250 Yugo has remote-start, DVD video system with navigation, and premium high-octane fuel in the tank, as well as an exhaust tailpipe big enough to fit an LP record album in sideways. MuscleCarMan:(sarcastic tone)You should put in a high-fidelity oscilloscope in next!

chocolate cotton balls
Regular cotton balls dipped in melted chocolate, then allowed to solidify. Then you serve them to guests. You don't know that you're eating something so nasty till it's too late.
Rusty's mother was throwing a party to celebrate her husband's death, so he decided to submit some chocolate cotton balls as his own contribution to the family candy.

chicken with a capital W
A Wiccan, Celtic witch, or Western European Pagan. Chicken rhymes with Wiccan, and Wiccan starts with W.
One of my friend's daughters is a chicken with a capital W because she likes Nature.
A chicken with a capital W is familiar with Artemis Pinkwar.

keeep
Onamatopeioa of the sound a step-on switch makes in Sonic The Hedgehog for Sega Genesis. Consists of a 3507 hertz square wave for 35 thousandths of a second. Sound Test on Sonic 1 is number "CD". A silly noise to make when you switch on a large/powerful appliance (microwave ovens actually make a similar, though not identical, sound) or flush a toilet.

tartan
A two dimensional human-readable bar code symbology with hundreds of combinations per module. Usually found on Scottish things such as kilts, ribbons, sarongs, and bagpipes. Each clan (a Scottish family, spelled with a C) has its own tartan.
Hamish the red got away with sending the HD-DVD key by way of tartans on kilts in the mail.
The tartan was found on kilts early in the Faerytale Era.

Amish mud woman
When a woman, possibly really Amish, puts on a solid-colored non-printed dress and jumps into a body of water,gets out all wet, walks over to the furrow his husband just plowed by horse, and starts rolling provocatively in the loose dry soil so that the dirt sticks to her. The male equivalent is the Amish Sweat Ritual.

dance naked in the forest
What cycle-accurate Pagans do. They take off their clothes and dance in the woods. Not necessarily a bad thing because some Pagans look quite nonsexually beautiful/handsome naked.
