OCT

Abbreviation for octal. Used in computer science and mathematics. The octal number system is a base eight number system, meaning there is no 8 or 9 digit used.

For example the number 9 would be written as 11, because there is no 8 or 9.

Mathematicians often confuse Christmas and Halloween because DEC 25 = OCT 31

(decimal 25 = octal 31)

you got mail

1) The phrase that AOL says whenever you get new mail in a very annoying and high-pitched voice.

Considering how many weight loss ads are seen on AOL, they should change the saying to "you got mass".
