This situation occurs when a user saves a document to a temporary folder and edits it without realizing that the computer they are using wipes all temporary folders every second or so. They then save their file which, in the best situations, they have worked on for hours and find out the file no longer exists.

Dude WHAT THE FUCK! I just saved my file, and I forgot about the Temp Folder Fuck, I JUST LOST 5 hours of work! Goddamn it!

temp cycle

When you get fired/laid-off/quit your job and try to get another full time job, but can't for some reason, so you take a temp job. When that ends no one will hire you because they think, "If this guy was any good his last employer would have hired him full time." So you get another temp job because they'll hire anyone.

Justin: I've been looking for a job for 3 months now, and the only places showing any interest are just temp jobs.

Rich: So, what's wrong with that?
J: Well it would be nice to have insurance or paid days off or any kind of benefits, and have a normal, stable job. But I guess I'm just stuck in a temp cycle for-fucking-ever!

temp check

Short for temperature check. When somebody who has no intention of following up with a conversation sends a short message, to see if you will reply. Usually used by exes.

Dude, Jenny just sent me a text with just “hi” written.
Man don’t reply, it’s probably just a temp check
