Percussive Maintenance

The fine art of bludgeoning an electronic device in order to encourage it to work properly. Vigorous usage of this technique often renders said device permanently nonfunctional.

My goddamned monitor was flickering until I used some percussive maintenance; now it's totally dead and Help Desk is bringing me a new one.

maintenance call

Periodic phone calls placed to one's significant other when out for a prolonged period of time (eg 4 hours or more) with friends. The periodic phone call is intentionally structured to prevent a blow-up or fight after the outing is concluded, which would invariably take ten times longer to resolve that the time to place a brief check-in call.

"Hey, let me put in a maintenance call to my woman, before we go into the bar."

maintenance like

You like a picture or a post on facebook made by a someone that you might want to date someday or eventually just to stay in contact with her/him. A very low effort way to make sure that your target gets notice on facebook or probably even a notice on her/his cellphone that you still follow her/his activities.

Q: That chick whose new profile picture you liked on facbook yesterday is friggin hot
A: Yeah, just gave her a maintenance like to make sure to hook up with her someday

fly maintenance

A very good looking person that requires a lot of attention. The same exact thing as high maintenance except you recognize this persons exceptional looks.

If Glenn required a lot of attention, which he doesn't than he would be fly maintenance.
