Clockpunk

A sub-genre of the speculative historical fiction genre called Steampunk. Clockpunk is characterized by modern technologies accomplished using clockwork mechanisms and generally excluding steam power, electricity, and the internal combustion engine. The chronological setting for Clockpunk fiction is pre-Industrial Revoluion, whereas steampunk is late 19th or early 20th century. A Clockpunk novel might include a world, Earth or another planet, which has been so dramatically revolutionized by DaVinci's mechanical inventions that its technology rivals our computers, phones, etc., while most other factors (some combination of social structure, ploitics, customs, clothing, etc.) would remail relatively true to the 15th century.

Gears and cogs but no steam...that's not Steampunk, its Clockpunk.

silly o'clock

A time of morning (or night), usually between 3AM - 6AM in the local time zone that requires a person to interrupt normal sleep or waking patterns for often dubious reasons. Often used in reference to extremely early arrivals to airports, or to join business teleconference sessions with participants in multiple time zones. Also see stupid o'clock.

"I don't look so good because I had to be at work at silly o'clock this morning to join a videocon with our development office in Greece."

5 Clicks To Jesus

A game played using the website wikipedia. You start out by pressing the random article button. From that random article, the user has five clicks on hyperlinks to go from wiki page to wiki page to hopefully end up at the Jesus of Nazareth page by the fifth click.

"I can't believe Josh went 5 clicks to Jesus from they Osney Mill wikipedia page."

clock zombie

When a person's life is defined by what time it is.

These people work in extremely structured intervals and never waste time. One may wonder what will become of them if a large-scale worldwide catastrophe were to occur. Their agenda and a clock are their best friends, leaving little room for an actual social life.

It is a well-known fact that most college/university students live their lives like this, making campus a very depressing place to be.
There is a definitive line between being a clock zombie, and having 1-2 weeks of hardcore study sessions berore a test.

girl: "Hey, wanna go out tonight?"

guy: "Sorry, can't... I have to study for roman civilization for the midterm."

girl: "Isn't that midterm like, 4 weeks from now? Wow, you're such a clock zombie."
