On July 2nd 1947, a UFO propelled at supersonic speed by electrogravity was struck down by lightning over a ranch near Roswell, New Mexico. The wreckage was scattered for 2 miles or so, hence why a lot of witnesses did not see the aliens.
The military employee who told the media was forced to take it back the next day and say it was a weather balloon. However the wreckage was not consistent with a weather balloon. In recent times, many of the witnesses have testified that what crashed at Roswell was not of this Earth.
There is also claims that technology discovered on the crashed UFO has been integrated into human society. Transistors, integrated circuit chips, lasers, accelerated particle beams, and kevlar were supposedly all present on the UFO, before humans took them to the lab and 're-invented' them. A lot of even more advanced technology has yet to see the light of day.
The Roswell incident also helped to fuel the conspiracy known as the Cold War.

Get the Roswellmug. Something or someone that is not in its correct universe, dimension or cosmic location. Coined by Jennifer Diane Reitz to label errors in fantasy literature where people or things described are specific to Earth and ought not to exist in the fictional universe of the work.
These errors go beyond mere 'anatopism' (referring to something is in the wrong geographic location but at least on the correct planet). Also analogous to anachronism, where something is in the wrong time.

If a sci-fi novel set in the Andromeda galaxy used the months January to June, that would be an anacosmism because the Roman Empire and their calendar never existed in Andromeda.

Get the anacosmismmug. When it's unclear whether something is shameful or shameless. You may feel shameful after committing a shameless act, or vice versa. Formed using shame and ambiguous.

Get the dwuftymug. A bizarre way for geeks to describe opening a terminal program on a computer, particularly on a Unix based computer where terminal programs are very common.

Get the spark up a monkeymug. An expression used to wish someone success, good fortune, or a safe journey. Used as a non-religious alternative to Godspeed, especially by dog-lovers.
I wish you dogspeed on your trip Pete, and I'll be sure to look after your puppy while you're gone!
Sarah dropped her daughter off at school and bid her dogspeed for her biology exam.

Get the dogspeedmug. Duck tape is NOT a mispronounciation of duct tape. Duck tape is the original name of the tape from when it was first invented and used by the military. Only, when people started using duck tape to repair ducts, it got the name duct tape.
Duck tape sucks for repairing ducts because it falls off after a while. The officially recommended tape for repairing ducts is foil tape.
Duck tape is used in movies extremely often. A few examples:
- Panic Room
- American Pie: The Wedding
- Frailty
