Excel 

Part of the Microsoft Office Suite, Excel is a spreadsheet program that basically resembles a paper ledger sheet, or a giant table. Unlike paper, Excel makes your job easier by removing the need for erasers or calculators! It definitely makes number manipulation almost painless.

Newbie: I need to do my taxes.
Computer Shop Employee: May I recommend Microsoft Excel?

Dirty Hippo 

Alongside with Jamster, it's another lame service that invades your television with a series of commercials that inform you to use your cell phone to download tacky wallpaper and/or really annoying ringtones.

Girl: OMG CHECK OUT MY FITTY CENT RINGTONE!!! *dun, du-*
Guy: *Bashes phone on ground* Shut up, goddamnit.

Cunnilingus Rice

A name that Dave Chappelle used to refer Condoleeza Rice, during the "White Supremacist" sketch of the first episode of Chappelle's Show.

"Cunnilingus Rice sounds like a Mexican dish. Maybe we should send her to Mexico have the Mexicans eat her!"

Rainbow Six

A 700-page (hardcover) book by Tom Clancy, ex-SEAL John Clark forms a super secret multi-national anti-terrorism group, codenamed " Rainbow". Since Clark is the commander, he is known as "Rainbow Six".

It was then Red Storm Entertainment decided to turn Tom Clancy's story into a video game, and has become a huge success.

Gamer: Dude, wanna play a game of Rainbow Six 3 on XBox?
Reader: Nah, the book's way better.

silent scope

An arcade-style game that is usually accompanied with a sniper rifle. You have limited life and limited time to take out all targets on the screen.

Your usual objective is to take out enemies, key targets, or carefully eliminate the character while he/she has a hostage.

To have the utmost experience of sniping, always play at an arcade; Controllers just don't cut it.

Tap Dancer: Wanna play DDR? LOL!
Rifleman: Pfft, screw that game. I'm heading over to the Silent Scope area.

typing of the dead 

A spin-off version of the video game, House of the Dead. Instead of using the traditional gun to shoot zombies, you are to use a keyboard to help practice your WPM (words per minute).

This version removes most of the scary elements, and replaced it with humor. (The main characters carry a Dreamcast on their back). Zombies throw spatulas instead of axes.

Newbie Gamer: I need to learn how to type because I suck.
Shop Employee: Assuming you play games, why don't you try the "Typing of the Dead?" Guarenteed to help you type faster and tear zombie ass at the same time!

y1k 

A joke used on Alabama, during "Weekend Update with Colin Quinn", a segment on Saturday Night Live on 11/13/99.

"The report also noted that, in terms of Y2K readiness, Alabama is the nation's least prepared state. Alabama authorities, however, insist that they'll get to the Y2K problem as soon as they address the state's long-standing Y1K difficulties."
