Yellow Light of Death

abb. YLOD. A light that is displayed when the PlayStation 3 games console experiences total hardware failure of any kind. The system then turns itself off and cannot be turned back on again without fixing the system.
This is typically attributed to either the CPU or the GPU failing due to bad soldering methods. This mainly occurs with launch PS3s, but some newer PS3s have known to have 'gone' YLOD as well.
It is very similar to the Red Ring of Death experienced by the Xbox 360 games console.
Fixing a YLOD is not easy and is costly most of the time.

Guy 1: Did you here about that guy who died trying to resusitate a liger? Guy 2: Yeah, poor bastard, it tore his face right off, raped him, and then ate him. Guy 1: It's a shame really, just another death by self stupidity..

Death on two legs

It was penned by Freddie Mercury as a diss track dedicated to Norman Sheffield (Queen's manager at the time) because he screwed them over.

Brian: What's your favorite Queen song?

Death-Count Delay

In any given pandemic with exponential spread, the period of time that exists between reported cases and the onset of increased mortality.
Like I said, the increased case counts are just because of all the great testing we're doing; there has been no increase in death reported and soon there will be zero cases. We've got this TOTALLY under control.
Ummm, Sir...seems like we should wait 2-3 weeks for the Death-Count Delay before taking that victory lap.
