What management calls your software development project when they are afraid to tell their managers that the project no one wants you to work on is actually almost done and WILL be used by real people to do real work. This is usually some project that is very important and was ok'd by your manager in the first place, they just never got their managers ok.
me: Boss, I can't deliver a prototype to the customer, our crazy process won't allow it!
Boss: Yes you can, it's a workable prototype. Trust me, when I met with management I left a lot of wiggle room.
me: What the hell is a workable prototype? Prototypes are not real working code, but our code works and they want to use it!
Boss: We're working on that.

Get the x-27 prototype mug.The Super Mario 64: 1995 Prototype is a fictional prototype of the game for the Nintendo 64, named Super Mario 64.
Not much is known about this prototype, aside from the fact it was VERY experimental, testing out new AI that Nintendo got from another Japanese company, thatallowed the game to change itself to fit one's 'Cognitive Desires', which means this prototype is different on every cartridge. Deisgn wise, it didn't look like your happy-go-lucky Super Mario game. The player model was a low poly, featureless man. The castle itself was rather eerie, with few light sources, and the basement was an elaborate mess of hallways.
Testers were called in to experiment with the technology, and it was working fine, except from one odd observation. Prolonged exposure to the basement in the prototype casued severe migraines. One tester, when Nintendo checked in on them after leaving them overnight, they were found in a delusional state, mumbling to themselves, in which they had to be wheeled away to hospital.
New testers were warned to NOT go to the basement for whatever reason.
After new testers were developing stroke-like symptoms from overexposure, Nintendo stopped new testers coming in, and cut all cartridges with the personalised AI.
If you've ever played a friend's Super Mario 64 cartridge, and felt something was off, now you know why.

Get the Super Mario 64: 1995 Prototype mug.When you get your hands on one of these people you have to consider yourself lucky. If you happen to be unfortunate enough to not be wearing socks when you meet them you can expect your toes to be licked clean. According to old legends they once sucked off satan for 1 shilling, two pence and a used condom.
"Woah man that person is crazy, ripping off that person's socks like that"
