Gruber Speech

Telling someone a lie because you think they are to stupid to know the truth. It's usually used when you want to cheat the person out of something and you lie to them to pull off the scam, relying on the gullible nature of people. The name comes from Jonathan Gruber's many comments about how the Obama Administration exploited the stupidity of the American voter to pass Obamacare. Newt Gingrich coined the phrase in Nov. 2014.

gruber device

A mechanism to defeat a security system through the unintended use of fall-backs or exception paths that are not widely considered during development. Inspired by Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber character in the movie Die Hard (1988), who arranges for the uninterruptible power supplies securing the vaults at Nakotomi Plaza to be cut by causing the police to invoke their terrorist response procedures.

"The circuits that cannot be cut are automatically cut in response to a terrorist incident. You asked for a miracle, Theo, I give you the F-, B-, I..."
"This box is using distributed TACACS. I'll need a Gruber Device to make it fall-back to static password."
"Maybe try pulling the WAN?"

hot carl gruber

The Hot Carl Gruber is an ethnic variation of the traditional Hot Carl. The administrator of the Hot Carl Gruber eats nothing but sauerkraut for two whole days before delivering the goods. As in the Hot Carl, a single layer of plastic wrap is applied to the recipient's face. The administrator then defecates on the plastic wrap, sharing the warmth of a truly Teutonic Treat. Not to be confused with the Hot Carlos, which originates south of the border and gets its warmth from cheap Mexican food and stomach parasites.
In her excitement about the arrival of Oktoberfest, Lindsay asked for a Hot Carl Gruber, rather than the usual Hot Carl.
