I just asked him directions and he started yammering at me in channel jive. I couldn't make heads or tails of it.

nigger-lipping

Highly prejudiced description of placing ones' lips entirely around the open mouth of a bottle or canteen, thus opening the possibility of backwash.

Comes from an old stereotype that black people have lips that form a perfect circle and are thusly perfectly adapted.
Dude, quit nigger-lipping the pepsi!

big help

Somebody who either isn't, or somebody who can only be trusted to help you with that one menial task that would save you about 20 minutes of walking around. Invariably spoken with a slight hesitation before the term.
Johnson was a, uh, big help today as he told me when the light stopped blinking on the router.

AOL

America Online.

One of the largest and most popular internet service providers, simply owing to the advertising barrage they've committed to since the September That Never Ended started.

They have a reputation for having bad customer service, even worse users, and downright horrible connection lag on their dialup, complete with a proprietary bloatiferous client. Those that want off have a hard time getting off due to the fact that they won't forward your email.
From a commercial: "A friend of mine told me I should try America Online. 'Why?' I asked. 'I already have a computer!'"

cutting room floor

1) Where certain parts of a film wind up during editing for one reason or another - could be bloopers, or could be stuff that didn't add to the film in the director's opinion.

2) The usual description used on a DVD for the section where such bits wind up - assuming, of course, they put it on the disk.

C prompt

Semi-erroneous name for a command prompt in Windows.

Near as I can tell, it derives from DOS, where one would generally boot from their primary hard disk (invariably called the C Drive and be presented with a prompt that looked like "C:\>", indicating the drive they were on and their location in the directory tree.

Considered fairly obsolete, even amongst old DOS hats.
OK, now type 'dir' on the C prompt....

geek out

To engage in a conversation of a highly technical nature, typically with some other members of the party you are with, completely (and usually inadvertently) alienating others in the process.
We were having a great conversation about how bad Windows was, when suddenly Bill started geeking out about assembler code on a PDP-10.
