Dev's block

Short for "developer's block", a state of mind where a software developer is trying to design and develop a piece of software for a certain purpose, but is struggling to write the necessary code. This is essentially a technical version of writer's block and artist's block.

Manager: Hi, how's the source code for next project coming along?

Intern, almost crying: I- I don't know! I'm so sorry, I'm stuck on the 413th line! This is nothing like any of my classes!

Software Engineer: hey hey hey, relax. RELAX. It's just a little bit of dev's block. You'll be fine. Just take a little break and come back to it later.

Francesca Lia Block

The fantastic writer of dreamy books that take place in California and New York. They contain Mabs, homosexual love, punk pixies. She wrote the Weetzie Bat and I was a Teenage Fairy.

I can't get enough Block books.

cock blocker

Insecure male that horns in on any developing interaction another male has established with a female, an extremely embarrassing and pathetic event to watch. Cock blockers can also be a "cow herd" of "fuglies" around an attractive female they desperately cling to for a false sense of enhanced social status.

Despite Randy being a horrible cock blocker, Sarah still slipped Matt her phone number just before her cow herd enveloped her once again.

Block-Checking

The action of unblocking someone and blocking them again on AIM in order to see if they're online. This is about the equivalent of knocking on someone's door to see if they're home, then your nerves collapse and you run the fuck away before they see you. Usually occurs after a terrible conversation, which ends up with one person blocking the other. Of course, this just makes the person they blocked attractive, so they make frequent spot checks to see if you're online.

paranoia bacon: i am so freaking awesome
rosesnguns17: what happened?
paranoia bacon: i just bitched out this hot-ass emo chick, and now she's block-checking me.
rosesnguns17: just make sure you videotape it :):):)

Hancock Block

Someone who interferes with the signing of an important contract or document.

1. B: Uh, I wouldn't sign over your power of attorney to this guy, he's doing that sinister laugh that people do in movies.

Guy: Hey, buddy, don't be a hancock block... who are you, anyway?? (sinister laugh)

2. He was right about to sign the confession and then his lawyer came in and totally hancock-blocked me.

sock-block

v. when a family member or house mate sees you plan to use the washer, and throws their load in before you can.

ex: Mary is in her room sorting through dirty clothes and forming a pile of things to be washed, meanwhile, Lynnette sees this and puts her laundry in first. Mary finishes sorting her laundry and is furious to find out that she has been sock-blocked.

Mary: WTF
Lynnette: Sorry, I just happened to have to do my laundry...
Mary: But you knew that I have to wash my clothes before my trip tomorrow!
Lynnette: Oops!
