Get the clock jargonmug. The act of providing incremental updates to a piece of hardware such as a smartphone, CPU or wearable device in the form of marginal spec bumps instead of releasing a revolutionary device.
Usually requires you to buy an entirely new device to get, for example, slightly more internal storage space or a marginally better CPU speed.
Usually done by hardware manufactures such as Apple, Motorola and Qualcomm.
The goal is to make as much money off of existing technology as possible before spending money to innovate.

I really hope that Merrifield and the next iteration of it are good and I hope Logan is great too because no one is competing with Qualcomm so they are literally sitting on their asses trying get another year out of bumping clocks on Krait.

Get the bumping clocksmug. A bunch of eggheads got together and decided this whole humanity thing wasn't really working out, and that there should be a definitive scale available for people to plan ahead for their weekend. Measured in "minutes to midnight", it aims to provide a realistic expectation of the likelihood of having to go that social engagement you've been dreading, with any mention of "seconds to midnight" providing a valid excuse for having one more drink, since your chances of living to experience the hangover are drastically reduced.

Get the Park City Alarm Clockmug. 
This knee charmer is often found in unique individuals with ties to super rich secret submarine service. Although known in military jargon as “foreign objects“, emergency surgery usually unearths armament shrapnel and pieces of snooze buttons from top quality alarm clocks. Still as mysterious as jimmy Hoffa’s disappearance, this enigma of a titillating experience is easily summarized as suspenseful supreme “pop” sensation and not for the feeble mortal, a UFO Alarm Clock is like kryptonite to Superman. If you ever run into someone who has experienced the rare UFO alarm clock, feel free to gift them only the best sour beers for a speedy recovery!
“Hey John, I heard about that UFO Alarm Clock”, you good bro?”
“Yeah man, nothing a good Sour Brew can’t fix”
