A fictional device from the movie Back to the Future that allows travel through time. It can also be used as a scapegoat for computer problems when people ask dumb questions.
Some guy called me to ask me why his computer wasn't working during a power outage, so I told him his flux capacitor was broken.

1. Sir! We're losing our troops fast! We cannot hold out against this assault. I suggest we raise the white flag.
2. German tourists! We surrender!

You paid $3000 for a Macintosh? I built a PC for $800 that can kick its ass and it STILL looks better.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I websurfed, weak and weary,
Over many a strange and spurious website of 'hot chicks galore',
While I clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning,
And my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour.
"'Tis not possible," I muttered, "give me back my cheap hardcore!"
Quoth the server, "404".

A programming language popular on *nix systems.
For some reason, Perl programmers find the need to write programs as small as possible. Many have attributed this to a similar phenonenom for unintelligent men to compensate for the size of their manhood by purchasing large, powerful cars. Instead of compensating by showing how immense their purchasing power (and in many cases, debt) is, Perl programmers compensate by showing how large their brains are.
Unfortunatley, this results in much Perl code to be somewhat difficult to understand by just looking at.

Somebody with way too much time on his hands wrote MoleSter, a functional P2P app in just 6 lines of perl.

The woman a man is betrothed to. In some cases, notably among the poorly-educated in the American Deep South and the royalty in Europe, she very well be the sister or cousin of the man as well.
Redneck: I just married my cousin!
Prince John: What a coincidence, I just married my sister.
Normal people: Freaks.
