Windows Downdate

The most prolific source of computer trojans online, frequently euphemized as Windows Update.

Windows Downdate frequently prompts the user to "update" Windows/MSN Messenger to version 4.7 even though version 6 or 7 is already installed.

After installing SP2, Windows Downdate wanted me to update a bunch of things that I updated before SP2, so I don't know if SP2 downdated them, or if Windows Downdate wanted to downdate them after SP2 updated them.

barrister

A pretentious-sounding, but meaningless word that illiterate ijits, who want you to think they are from some African nation, impress themselves by claiming that's what they are.

The word barrister becomes meaningless when used by people writing emails from email domains from anywhere except Nigeria, but claiming to be from Nigeria.

This Nigeria Scam came today:

Bad News

Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of Bad News, which obeys its own special laws.

The Hingefreel people of Arkintoofle Minor did try to build spaceships that were powered by Bad New but they didn't work particularly well and were so extremely unwelcome whenever they arrive anywhere that there wasn't really any point in being there.
