personality install

personality install:

- the desired (but presently impossible) procedure of installing a personality into a person who appears to have none

Background: Many 'non-contributting-zeros' and 'useless-eaters' would do better for themselves and society if they had dynamic and well functioning personalities, or just died. The percentage of the population which could use this procedure seems to be growing. The end game for the Zombie Apocalypse is to have robotic mindless people --- perhaps this fictitious concept of 'personality installs' might be able to thwart what seems to be coming.

Ex.1
Jim: Is it just me, or does that guy seem like a zombie to you too?
Bob: Oh yeah! That empty-vessel is a useless-eater who could use a 'personality install'.

Ex.2
Jim: I think Jane could do with a 'personality transplant'.
Bob: Jane would have to have one, first. What that non-contributing-zero needs is a 'personality install'.

Install Party

An attempted LAN party with such poor planning that no one has any games installed, or the players do not have the same games installed. The players will typically pick a game or two and then pass around the disks or download it. Since there are generally 4 or more people trying to do this simultaneously, this takes the entire night and no games are played

"Want to have a LAN party?"
"What game do you want to play?"
"I don't know. We'll figure it out when we all get there."
"Sounds like an install party to me."

Jim: cool story

*later*

Jim: Mitch, stop playing that game it sucks

Mitch: I think it's an installationship

zero-install

A term used to describe any Windows PC program that doesn't require any kind of installation to be accessed, other than having to copy and paste the contents of the program's disc to your hard drive.

Because this game is a zero-install, I only have to transfer it to my hard drive and run the executable to play it.

This new program I bought functions as a zero-install, making it run on multiple systems at once.

spousal install 

When you're installing software, and you say "yes" to all the questions, accept all the defaults, and don't think about it.

Mike: "Dude, what do all these options mean when I'm installing Word?"
Evan: "Just do a spousal install and don't worry about it, man."
