Grum Moment

When you screw up really badly, ultimately misrepresenting the people you work for.

"Hey Jackson, no rape in the office!"
"Sorry sir, I had a Grum moment"

I'd just like to interject for a moment

A classic copy-pasta often attributed to rms but contains parts that he denied being from him. It's best used whenever you see a debate over the correct format of Linux and GNU/Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

Michael Bay Moment

A very unnescesarry and over dramatic explosion, caused by an underwhelming force; most commonly demonstrated by the action film director Michael Bay.

Brokeback Moment

Having a moment in life (as a man) that is decidely gay. Interestingly enough, what makes it that type of moment is the fact that the gayness of it is in no way a problem.

Example 1: Derek: "Wow that sunset is really pretty."
Steve: "What?"
Derek: "You know, its just ....pretty"
Steve: "Dude, yer having a Brokeback Moment"
Example 2: Tom : "My favorite moment after working out is
showering with the guys. I love the
comraderie..."
Gus : "Are you nuts? Dude, you are totally
having a Brokeback Moment"

driveway moment

The inability to leave one's car after arriving at the destination because of the riveting nature of a story you're listening to on the radio; especially on NPR

I had a driveway moment today while listening to David Sedaris on This American Life.
