Premature Remotation

This action occurs while watching the DVR. As one fast-forwards through the commercials of their taped program, they accidently press play too soon--before the program has returned.
Declan fast-forwarded through the commercials of his favorite TV show, Breaking Bad, since he recorded it on his DVR.

While speeding by the ads at an alarming rate, he thought he saw Breaking Bad return and pushed play. Declan was wrong. He proceeded to do this two more times during the same commercial break. Declan needs to pace himself or he'll continue to experience premature remotation.

courtesy reboot

The courtesy reboot occurs when you are using your computer for a time-sensitive purpose, such as writing a report or making a presentation in a meeting. Without notice or even a BSOD, your screen blanks out and your computer reboots. On restart you frequently receive a cheery "update installed!" message, which makes your blood boil.
Presenter: Now let's take a look at the FY09 budget numbers, which we need submit in the next 20 minutes.

(Screen blanks out)

Attendee: Looks like you're going to have to wait for that courtesy reboot first, pal.

remote dance

The movements you make with your hand when trying to get your tv to recognize your remote control.

All remote dances are different, but most involve twisting your hand around until the remote is almost upside down, thinking that for some reason that will help.
Last night i remote danced for like five minutes trying to turn the volume up.
