stat graphic curse

A curse in sports where a small box of information known as a stat graphic appears on your TV explaining a current streak of some sort. After the stat graphic is no longer on your TV, the streak is snapped.
A stat graphic reads:

Bruins are the only team not to allow a power play goal in the playoffs. Two minutes later, the Bruins allow a power play goal in the playoffs.

If you are a Bruins fan, you have just fallen victim to the stat graphic curse.

tighten up the graphics

1) To work at an introductory-level tech position.
2) To attempt a feat without knowledge of how it can be done.

Phrase originates from a Westwood College commercial, in which two young videogame designers, dressed in 70s attire, report to their boss that they are "almost done with level 3, and need to tighten up the graphics a little bit."
1) "Once I move back to Arlington I'm gonna tighten up the graphics for Adobe Systems."

2) "I'm almost done with my quadratics homework, I just need to tighten up the graphics a little bit."

graphics whore

In terms of the marketing crap that is called "the console wars" or the "next generation wars" in video game consoles, it is someone that puts down, denies, refutes, and ignores a system solely if the console does not have the graphic and processing power as the other competition.

See: fanboy for other details.
Boy1: "Omg, the Nintendo Wii is so freaking awesome."
Boy2: "It is just the gamecube with a new remote. It is so gimicky. It can't even go beyond 480i!"
Boy1: "You're just a graphics whore."
