cat eater

Any device or appliance that makes a loud noise, scaring cats into running in terror and shredding the lap of anyone they sit in trying to run away.

Its definition changes with the cat, but common examples include vacuum cleaners, garbage disposals, ice machines, vehicles without sound suppressors, and screaming children.
If you're nearby, warn me before you turn on the cat eater. I like to have thighs that don't bleed .

Government Work

A Lowest Bidder's or Military Grade standard of consistent and adequate, but otherwise unimpressive work, without the quality of a competitive market. A done job. Not well done, but done.

This can also apply to imprecise but likewise adequate usage of deadly force with too much time and budget constraints to perfectly avoid all collateral damage and casualties.
Person 1: The rifle can just barely hit a watermelon at 500 yards's distance.

Person 2: It's not a sniper rifle. That sort of accuracy is more than accurate enough for government work.

Digamma Male

Named for the letter of the Greek Alphabet which went extinct centuries before the Romans took over, the digamma male is a member of a forgotten community, in retirement, or from the Silent Generation. Usually they are Korean War veterans, or victims of the Great Leap Forward, and are almost all dead. The influence that they put out into the world is absent from social media, and indirect. They have left little evidence of their existence except in history books. All credit for their work goes to contemporary politicians. Their work is unseen and thankless.
In the understandable traumatized attitude of the Digamma Male, my grandfather never talked about his time as a marine in Pusan, not even to his wife on his deathbed.

Cold Cat

An incident on an aircraft carrier's flight deck where the steam-powered catapult or "cat" which launches aircraft that can't take off vertically. It happens when something apart from or inside the system absorbs too much heat from the steam reservoir or cylinder, causing it to cool. If enough heat is lost, the steam will condense. Since water takes up much less room than steam, pressure is lost, and the catapult's strength is lost.

This can be an unnoticeable and slight loss of thrust, or it could result in the launched aircraft plopping into the sea.

Opposite of a 'hot cat' which could result in loss of control or a torn up nose cone.
"Cold cat! Cold cat!" shouted the pilot through his radio before another Hornet was lost, this time not because of combat.
