code by candlelight

Programming through the night to finish a project.

The phrase can also be used to make light of outdated programming practices.

1. We'll just work on it all night until we finish. It'll be fun - we'll code by candlelight, like they did in the olden days.

2. Damn... QBasic? Was this coded by candlelight? Did you have to carve it in a stone tablet?

NATOwned

Combanation of nato and owned. Refers to the defeat of the Soviet Union's Iron Curtain by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (i.e. the cold war). Many gamers are also war buffs (military first-person shooters), and this combination of phrases was an inevitable result.

Hahaha, Stalin was NATOwned.

The code itself has become a symbol of old-school and/or arcade gaming. Punk group "The Ataris" named a song after the code on their album, "End Is Forever."

Wal-Mart fall apart

Though this phrase originally referred to products from Wal-Mart being of poor quality, it may now also refer to the communities essentially destroyed by Wal-Mart - it throws its weight around and puts everyone else in the area out of business, essentially destroying the local economy while ensuring that what's left of it depends solely on Wal-Mart for survival.

Both types of Wal-Mart Fall Apart are reasons not to shop there.
