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!'"

Get the AOLmug. 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.

Get the stella awardmug. Juvenile term for a method of consuming a drink from a community container (other than squeeze bottles) without said container actually making contact. The container's opening is placed just above the mouth, and the beverage is poured in. Requires a little bit of practice to avoid making you look like you have a hole in the lip.

Get the geek outmug. 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.
