downstrike's definitions

lilspeak

A dialect of written slang used by littles, mostly on chat and message boards. Spelling is extremely phonetic, reflects child-like speech impediments, and may be otherwise incorrect. Grammar is extremely child-like. Comments frequently reflect child-like miscomprehension of others' comments.

Come to think of it, that describes ebonics, too.

Hell Niño

The 1992-93 El Niño Winter in Susanville, California, when every storm all winter dumped four feet of snow, and the electricity would shut off for four days at a time, and only come back on just in time for the next storm to hit.
Pictures of cans and bottles of beer stuffed into snow banks are falsely attributed to Canada, but the redneck waste of refrigeration ingenuity on beer rather than on groceries betrays the true origin of the picture as being the Susanville Hell Niño of 1992-93.

sandbox

A probationary period for web sites that begins after they are first spidered by search engines. The best-known sandbox is Google's.

Other industries are also beginning to describe probationary periods as sandboxes too.
Your site ranks well in MSN already, but Google put you in the sandbox. Be sure to play nice.

inner tube

An archaic car part that has been made mostly obsolete by tubeless tires. These days an inner tube is much more useful for floating on water, or for sledding on snow. It's a lot more fun that way too.

It's soft, inflated, donut-shaped, usually black, and frequently has patches glued to it where it had leaked.

Smaller versions may still be found in many bicycle tires.
I was shocked when I took that tire off the rim, and found an inner tube inside it.

Watch out for the stem of that inner tube. If you break that part, there's no patching it, and it can leave a nasty scratch on your skin too.
