brown shoe
substitute for bless you, used only after the first sneeze.
since the ears take a few seconds to adjust after the pressure change, everyone will hear bless you instead. people nearby won't expect to hear it, but won't say anything if they do.
if the person sleezes a second time, revert to bless you and anyone who thought they heard brown shoe will think they're losing it... ;)~

EntrepreNERD
An enterprising individual, whose superior technical ability often clouds the presentation to 'normal people' of an otherwise inspiring solution to a frequently infuriating problem.
Steve: "If you just tweak this bit of code, then..."
Human: "Dude! You're such an EntrepreNERD. How DID you know that?"
Steve: "RTFM"
(Note: The use of the name 'Steve' is not directed at a specific individual, but the name does crop-up so frequently in IT, it's uncanny...)

Windows FP
Windows FP (aka: Windows Fisher Price), is the successor to Windows 2000.
Also known as 'Windows XP'. This was the last stand of a dying corporation to save itself, from itself. The interface was designed by the team who delivered the Apple Macintosh almost twenty years earlier, but is neither as stable, nor as easy to use.
Windows FP was seen by many as an attempt to make the Windows OS more Mac-like. However, with a GUI incapable of smooth transitions, the results appear more like melted-candy corn than the inimitable Mac OS X that it tries so hard to be.
Visual cues apparently have been taken from the local kindergarden. Everything is either big, lurid, or unnecessary (sometimes all three). Plagued with problems throughout, it's party-piece was it's ability to crash all by itself.

Victim: "Nah, I just got m'self a beef-jerky-viagra-kind-of-a-vibe..."
Buddy: "Any good?"
Victim: Er... Nope. Just' a lil' SPASM..."
