programming language 

A language created to write codes, that can make computers do things you don't want to.
Despite the belief, that some programming language is always the best choice, it's not. I can't make C++ write a website, or make JavaScript to build a open world 3D game, so stop the debate. If your goal is to work for a small company then JAVA or C# is your best bet. If you want to design games and media then learn C++. If you want to work for a big Fortune 100 company or for the government then learn COBOL. If you are interested in computer science and want to write utilities, operating systems, or compilers then choose C or assembly language.

brogrammer 

A semi-mythical creature that is a combination of a programmer and a fratboy. A brogrammer sips protein shakes and lift weights between coding sessions.

Brogrammers rarely exist in real life and like much satire it is easily misunderstood by those who are not in on the joke.
A brogrammer maintains a solid 120 wpm on the keyboard while drunk and dancing.

Programming / Networking Instructor 

A very evil person. This person loves to whip her students with Cat5 cable and make them do 87 page chapters in 5 minutes, or they fail the semester. She also has a wierd obsession with one of the head persons there, always threatening to send them out, but never does. She also blames the A.M. Class for all of the server problems, saying we are all hackers, but the P.M. Class doesn't do ANYTHING wrong.

See evil.
Today, our Programming / Networking Instructor told us to do chapter 3 in 5 minutes or we will fail the whole semester.

Programmed Retail Response 

The conditioning of most retail shoppers to provide preconceived answers to customer service providers.
Here are a few instances using Programmed Retail Response:

(Upon a customer entering)
Associate: "How's the weather today?"
Shopper: "I'm fine. How are you?"

(Upon a customer leaving)
Associate: "Fuel for Satan's fire!"
Shopper: "Thanks. You too!"

Programming Zit 

When you sit too long slinging code, and you get a zit on your ass, therefore making it hard to get a project done.
if (asscheek =~ /zit/) {

coding->squirm_in_discomfort();

}

else {

pop->that_bitch();

}

print "programming zit dealt with\n";

Pair Programming 

A computer programming technique/practice where two programmers work together to improve their code through mutual code review.

Sometimes criticised due to its abuse by less competent individuals to shelter their lack of ability under the protection of a mentor. Such abuse traditionally involves the two 'programmers' being physically present together at all times the code is worked on... and perhaps some man loving.
Tom: Where were you all afternoon?
Dick: Pair programming with Harry.
Tom: Aaah /wink
