letter pile

A grouping of alphanumeric characters meant to convey some sort of a message, but often not closely enough resembling an actual language to be easily read and understood.
Letter piles are commonly found on the internet in instant messages, emails, forums, blog comments, answers on Q&A sites, and even some definitions on Urban Dictionary. This is not to be confused with 1337 sp33k, which is purposely obfuscated, although letter piles often contain 1337 sp33k.

lester

The act of buying and eating food on your way home only for yourself, and even finishing it in your car in the driveway, in order to get back at your wife for never cooking for you. It is not known for sure if Lester did this out of spite, or only necessity.

In modern dialect, it is normally used with full disclosure. For instance, if nobody will be home, or your wife has already eaten. In this case, you would just tell them "I will just Lester something" or she will tell you "You may want to just Lester something."
My wife never cooks dinner, or she only makes dinner for her and the kids before I get home and it's all gone, so I will just Lester something on the way home.
