HP/RW

Possibly the worst Harry Potter couple made in the history of fanfiction. HP/RW is short for Harry Potter / Ron Weasley. This is put in the story's summary to indicate that the characters come into a romantic situation together. Authors often use the excuse that these two characters "are such good friends that they should end up together". What ever tickles your fancy, I say.
Story Summary Example:

"Those Green Eyes": Young Ronald Weasley has wanted something his whole life, and finally this summer vacation he is going to get it. It all starts when Harry comes for a late night visit...HP/RW

CD-RW

What some people consider the holy grail of physical media, although BD-RE (Blu-Ray Rewritable) discs exist and hold up to 128 GB compared to CD-RW's 700 MB (0.7 GB for scale). Also, CD-RW was made after DVD came out (although DVD-RW didn't exist for a while afterward).
1: "Just got a CD-RW to hold all my photos."
2: "Just get a BD-RE. Same space, more storage."
3: "Physical media? Just. Use. Cloud storage."

A flag in computer file system to identify/label whether a file/folder/partition can be tampered (edited, deleted, copied, moved)
One of the basic computer security practice:

Use RO instead of RW flag for sensitive files, folders, or partitions, unless you're know what are you doing
