Hosts File

The computer file hosts is an operating system file that maps hostnames to IP addresses. It is a plain text file. Originally a file named HOSTS.TXT was manually maintained and made available via file sharing by Stanford Research Institute for the ARPANET membership, containing the hostnames and address of hosts as contributed for inclusion by member organizations. The Domain Name System, first described in 1983 and implemented in 1984,1 automated the publication process and provided instantaneous and dynamic hostname resolution in the rapidly growing network. In modern operating systems, the hosts file remains an alternative name resolution mechanism, configurable often as part of facilities such as the Name Service Switch as either the primary method or as a fallback method.

Abra Host

To say that one is going to throw a big party in order to receive positive attention from ones peers, before canceling the event last minute. Often followed by a large backlash from the disappointed would-be party goers.
Chad 1: "Dude, are you going to Eugene's party this Friday? I heard it's gonna be insane!"
Chad 2: "Eugene? This is like the 5th time he says he's going to throw a party, I guarantee he's pulling yet another Abra Host"
Chad 1: "Wow, really? What a douche."
