skype

Technology that may re-introduce the concept of hands-free conversation to a whole new generation.

Like all new technologies, it has the potential for evil as well as for good.
"Charging for phone calls is so last century." (Niklas Zennström)

"Yes, I've downloaded Skype...so now we'll be able to chat away for as long as we like!" (Your mother)

i18n

Internationalization. The process of making software adaptable to the requirements of different human languages, local customs, and character string encodings.

(There are 18 characters between the first "i" and the last "n".)
With Microsoft Word 2003's great i18n features, translating documents from Arabic into Japanese is child's play.

the English

The best thing about the English is that we're not bad at understatement.
"That multiple orgasm was quite nice actually."

bangalore

Seemingly inexhaustible source of polite, well-educated, hard-working, low-cost technical talent.

Should perhaps be renamed Boss's-perfect-IT-man-galore.
"Another three arriving from Bangalore on Monday morning, Susan. Sort out their induction packs for me, would you?"

nibble

To place a small bet on a runner because the price looks too good to be true.
"I tell you what else caught my eye: Luis Garcia is 320/1 with Betfair to be top scorer. Surely worth a nibble, especially after his hat-trick in the qualifier, or is there something I don't know?"

catherine tate

A woman comedian for whom no allowances need to be made. A brilliant observer of social types in modern Britain...she drills into the kind of people you normally skirt around and taps the wellspring of their irritating nature. Rarely has an apprenticeship with the Royal Shakespeare Company been put to such good use. The nation should immortalize her in Cockney rhyming slang.
"Sorry I'm Catherine, the traffic was awful."
or
"Can't come out tonight, I've got a Catherine."
or
"You're looking Catherine, have you lost Catherine?"
