Goo-Net (noun): A recent engineering Marvel developed in Cleveland, Ohio, the goo net serves to capture one's goo upon release and disposes of it discreetly. The goo net works like a traditional japanese fan and opens rapidly upon expulsion of goo. A pourous, quick dry material is used in construction of the goo net, similiar too that of Nike's dry fit clothing line. Once goo is captured, the goo net quickly closes and the net is released from the bottom. Traditional applications of the goo net include mounting in one's desk at work with a trash can underneath to catch the released goo nets. The desk goo net can be configured to be neatly concealed within the desk surface for rapid deployment. More recently, the car goo net and travel goo net have been released for added conveniance. Celebrity face inserts have also been added to the goo net lineup. These inserts attach directly to the goo net so the user can now goo their favorite celebrities on demand. The most popular inserts include Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, Mandy Smith, and even Oprah Winfrey!
Steve cant even make a 30 minute car ride without his travel goo net.
Brian got shot in the face like a little goo net biatch!

Short for Network Administrator, a Net Admin in some cases is an under appreciated super-technician with experience in many fields that relate to maintenance/management/setup/configuration/*etc. of a computer network and its devices that may be within or on the outside (ex. Mobile users).
Their resume by themselves require a degree in acronyms do decipher and include extensive certifications like MCSA, MCSE, CCNA, CCNP, NETWORK+, A+,Linux+, LPI (multiple levels), **etc. (just to mention some of the more well known).
A good Net Admin keeps the system working day in and day out, week after week, month to month, year after year, like to infinity and that means no holidays, weekends, or social life.
They also tolerate so much B.S. from upper level management, CTOs, clients, computer illiterate coworkers, clowns, and cross-talk. It is no wonder that they only do this for limited amount of time and then become network consultants (read #3 please) or Rogue Net Admin.
Finally, they are indispensable for businesses that use computers and should therefore receive gifts like a nice binary watch or pocket protectors for they are the ones that keep the “precious” network running.
Footnotes:
*etc. = changing desktop wallpapers, making a WORD shortcut on the desktop because users can’t find it in the start menu, and apparently fixing: televisions, programmable VCR’s, dishwashers, radios and just about anything that uses 120VAC.
**etc. = the love of acronyms in IT is amazing: MySQL, HTML, DHTML, CSS, PHP, ASP, WAN, LAN, WWAN, WIFI, PPOE, BIOS, CMOS, MOBO, SVGA, SXVGA, TCP/IP, SMTP, POP, IMAP, RAM, ROM, HDD, SSD, OS, OSI,ISO, mIRC,… that is just what comes to mind…
