Technology/computing-based pun: it took nearly 3 hours for the Titanic to sink on April 14th 1912 so the pun can be used when files take longer than expected to sync.
Sync is the homophone of sink.
Sync being the abbreviation for synchronization or the process of keeping dataset copies consistant between one another in a computer system/network.
Sink meaning for something to go below the surface of water.

Jacob: Wow it's taking 3 hours for my files to sync with the network when it should have only taken 1 hour!
Jillian: Well you can say it's syncing slower than the titanic.
Jacob: Ah nice computer geek pun there!

Get the Syncing the Cuemug. When a two people in a chat conversation say the same thing at the same time and it shows up in the box almost at the same time.
i typed...wrong hotdog... the other person typed "wrong hotdog" or something very close to it at the very same time and showed up on screen. it has happened to me more times than I can say. and it tends to be with people very close, in tune with one another. Happened to me and another person so many times we came up with this term...cyber sync

Get the In-Syncmug. The thing that only shows up "randomly" when people know that the paper you're writing was either due last week or in five minutes. Seriously. someone really hates you and they know how much this makes you go insane. I personally think they're trying to drive you to the point of literally throwing your computer out the window.
Oh, yeah, " trying to connect. to edit offline, sync when you reconnect. " my a$$
