Citizens Band radio; state of the art in communications circa 1960, and all the rage in 1976 after the release of technological advances and the song Convoy. Popularity inspired further advances and lower prices, increasing popularity further.
CB remained the primary mode of mobile communications until cell phones became popular, and remains so in locations where cellular coverage is not available, among some truckers, rednecks, and power-tripping cottonpickers with linears.
Other monikers include, squawk box, radidio, on the line, ears, modjuputer, two-way, talk box, and toy phone.

Get the CBmug. Extreme reverence, respect, faith, and devotion dedicated to a deity, pantheon, or philosophy. In the case of people who choose a religion because it makes them feel good about themselves, they themselves are the object of their worship, no matter how ecstatically they utter the name of their deity.
I can't believe that no one else has taken time out from dissing one another's religions or lack thereof to define "worship". But since they haven't, and I can't believe it, I'm sure they worship differently than I do. I wonder if they have time to worship.

Get the worshipmug. A conciliatory way of saying, "nobody's perfect" that illustrates the concept. Originated with Cracked and Mad Magazine in the 70s.

Get the pobody's nerfectmug. The power or ability to become invisible. Most frequently occurs in Fantasy or Science Fiction. However, vitally important objects that you need in Real Life are some times empowered with invisibility when you need them most desperately.
Keeborn have the power of invisibility.

Get the invisibilitymug. Also, site map. One of the most confusing words in the world of web site design, because it means too many different things to too many different people, with more people compounding the confusion by making up new meanings for it. There is a potential to differentiate between meanings by spelling one meaning as one word, and another meaning as two words, but no such standard is broadly accepted.
1. In web site design, HTML, SEO, and navigation, n., a web page, usually relatively plain in design, that links to every page on the web site, displaying the links within the structural hierarchy of the site.
2. In web page design and HTML, correctly known as image map, but frequently called site map instead by n00bs, n., a method of linking different portions of an image to different URLs. In some cheaply-designed web sites, an entire web page may be designed into a single image map, so that the entire content of the page, including the text, is presented as an image, rather than as a combination of text and images.
3. In project pre-production, n., an optional design process preliminary to flowcharting, used mostly for multi-page projects, such as web sites.
4. To Google, a text or XML file added to the root directory of your web site to let Google's spider know the names and dates of your web site's searchable files. To differentiate from previous meanings of the word, this upstart definition should be known as, Google sitemap. However, other search engines may be following suit.

1. Building a sitemap is a time-honored method of helping both visitors and spiders find all your web pages.
2. The reason search engines can't find your web pages is that you built an image map instead of a sitemap. It looks nice, but neither spiders nor adaptive technology can read it.
3. I hate sitemapping, flowcharting, and storyboarding. If I don't have a picture of what I'm doing in my head, I can't put it on paper, and if I do have a picture of it in my head, I'm ready to create web pages, not to mess around with paper.
4. Come on Google, when a word already has a definition, we don't need a new definition. If you have a new concept, have enough originality to come up with a new word for it.

Get the Jehovah's Witnessmug. An abuse of power or authority over a market to prevent consumers from buying or using the product or service of a competitor. See conflict of interest and monopoly.
When MyCrudSoft first rolled out sWindles, they made sure that it produced an error message while installing onto a better version of DOS than their own, leading consumers to think the better DOS was flawed, even though sWindles worked with it just fine.
Kneejerk Corruptions, Incorrigible will do anything they can to prevent the owner of a domain from transferring it to another registrar. They did it best when they were also the register with which all the other registrars had to register domains.
