Flying Blubber Express 

E.Honda's big move in Street Fighter II, where he goes flying horizontally across the screen for a humongous sumo head butt.
Watch out for the flying blubber express!

infinity plus one 

Perhaps the biggest number I could think of when I was, like, six years old.

(True: if you ask a mathematician, it's not really a "number." But when I was, like, six years old, I didn't give a flying fuck.)

(Also true: As soon as I said "infinity plus one," my buddy would cleverly outdo me with infinity plus two.)
You couldn't beat me, because I had my fingers crossed.

Yeah but I had all ten fingers crossed.

Yeah but I had all my fingers and toes crossed.

Yeah but I had infinity fingers crossed.

Yeah but I had infinity plus one fingers crossed. Ha ha ha ha ha!
Magnetic tape - the big thick stuff they used in the 1960s for data storage, and some poor sods are still using today. Also used in an analog audio studio.
Mag tape.

Put it on a mag.

Magneto-optical (disk or drive).

A removable magneto-optical disk.
Archive it on an MO, it's more stable than a syquest or zip.
MO by vanilla g-lotto December 29, 2004
Around 1994, a "syquest" was synonymous with a 44 megabyte removable disk, sold by SyQuest Technologies. It made a funny clattering noise when you used it. The company came out with subsequent improvements, such as the "EZ135" 135 MB disk, SparQ 1.0 GB, and SyJet 1.5 GB.

Their competitor, Iomega, succesfully pwned the EZ135 with the smaller, slower, but prettier and cheaper 100 MB Zip drive.
Can you send me that Photoshop file on a Syquest?

No, dude, that's so early 90s and wrong. Zip it and put it on a zip, and zip it over to me.
syquest by vanilla g-lotto December 29, 2004
1. To compress files into .zip format.
2. An Iomega Zip cartridge.
3. To send something easily and quickly. (This is the dictionary definition that predates the other two.)
Can you send me that Photoshop file on a Syquest?
