Nickname for Modesto, California, so named because George Lucas based the script for American Graffiti upon events that occurred there during his senior year at Downey High. He just changed everyone's and everything's names enough so they couldn't sue him for defamation of character.
Modesto also used to host the biggest Graffiti Night rallies for a few years after the movie came out.

A virally propagated scam, formerly sent entirely through snail mail, but now more frequently sent through email. It operates basically as a pyramid scheme in which the recipient is urged to send a small sum of money to each person on a short list of names and addresses, with the promise that they will receive a lot of money when they rotate their name into the list, and the oldest name off of it, and mail the letter to everyone they know.
Some chain letters try to scam people even further, by instructing them rotate their name into the oldest position, so that the very next recipient will rotate them off of it, so that only the first names and addresses on the list will get any money.

Duh-weebish for "significant".
Notwithstanding the canonical convergence of sustainable frameworks within the infrastructures of business on demand, the logistics of opportunistic legerdemain in this example is impactful.

My wife is watching The Ken Jennings Show. I think she's waiting to see if the church and the state can tax Ken into poverty. Otherwise, there isn't much suspense.
