Referring to legendary, late British radio DJ John Peel, the case of the man playing vinyl at the wrong speed (ie. 33rpm at 45rpm or vice versa). The Peel Precedent is often invoked by DJs to excuse their own mistakes. Traditionally, there were three possible outcomes of such a mishap:
1. Peelie would stop the track about 30 seconds in, fluff a jocular apology and then play the track again at the correct speed
2. Peelie would let the track run to its conclusion, then admit his error (or ignorance - a lot of his vinyl had no indication of the correct speed) while arguing that it sounded good at the wrong speed anyway
3. In rare cases, Peelie would let the track run to its conclusion, argue that it sounded great at the wrong speed anyway, and then play the whole track again at the correct rpm, inviting listeners to draw their own conclusions with regard to its quality.

I messed up while DJing last night by playing Plastikman at the wrong speed, but i invoked the Peel Precedent and got away with it. It sounded just as good anyway...

(v.) The act of checking code into CM that causes the build to break, then promptly leaving work without returning until at least 10 AM the next day. Occurs more frequently just prior to a release deadline.
The word is a play on the phrase "peel out" and the last name of Meg Peele, who is infamous for this act.

Did Meg just Peele out again? What a bitch. We'll be here all night trying to fix this shit because her code uses an insane number of templates and is impossible to read.

A surface consistency defect resembling an orange peel due to weathering and time or poor application. Occurs in coated or finished products in varying degrees. May be the result of poor quality or manufacturing or poor maintenance.
I painted my kustomized civic this wild Kia electric blue all by myself but the mad orange peel smarts.

Every time my old man would visit he would peel the carrot and leave a carrot peel on our toilet seat. Sick!

When a man is wearing a condom and his partner removes it, with some difficulty, to provide further pleasure.
My woman already came, so she hopped of my d and prepared to go down on me. I expected the condom to come off easily, but it ended up being a pull and peel.
