teachable moment

A clusterfuck.

This euphemism is employed as a last resort when no other positives could (accurately) be applied to the situation. Often used in sports.
Last week's 4th fumble was a teachable moment for our young QB.

An annoying austrailian/oriental person who inhabits Continuum, has a voice that could kill the def, is idiotic beyond any human potential, and is trying to break the record for "Most people pissed off by one person."
Telcat is a fat whore who needs to have her throat cut.

techanic

n.

Anyone who works with or has expertise in anything technical. Techanics, much like their sibling the 'mechanic', are placed in situations of similar power with regards to screwing you over monetarily without you even knowing.

Most of us have a techanic we go to that we can trust when we have questions about building a website, or buying a computer so when we go shopping we won't get gouged on the prices.
I went to best buy to purchase a new computer, but the techanic up there just kept trying to sell me features I didn't think I needed, and quoted me a $2999 on a new basic system!

Josh, my techanic, says Web 2.0 is overrated.

teachable moment

What you say when you intend to cover for your own mistake by implying the person you wronged is also culpable but should join with you to "move past" your wrong. It allows you to avoid actually apologizing.
Once Obama read the police report and realized his comments told us more about his own views than they did the Cambridge police he concocted a media event to caste the whole ordeal as a "Teachable Moment" in order to "spread the blame".
