Martyr Thread

From time to time certain posts are made on forums / bulletin boards that are in conflict with the focus or view of the board owner or community. At these times the thread maybe closed (ie no more posts accepted) or deleted.

The said thread can then become a rallying point, or Martyr for disruptive community / individual behavior.

Someone brings up a controversial issue / matter which subsequently causes arguments and unacceptable forum behavior. The post is then closed, after which persons begin opening new threads that refer to the closed issue in rebellion to the authority that administrates the board. Community members may also form factions which can then cause further community instability.

The thread could then be called a Martyr Thread.

Shitter Thread

A thread on twitter which has lost all relevance and/or interest, or where only idiots trying to look cool after the main trend remain to show any form of willingful continuation of the thread. Can also be applied to forums and blogs. Another way of these coming about is where a shitter thread is created as a means for procrastination

have you seen the kinds of things people are tweeting on twitter nowadays? It's all shitter threads

The continued tweeting about Micheal Jackson's death and the current tweeting about Justin Bieber are examples of shitter threads.

butt thread

A thread that is ingested then must be pulled out of the anus after going through the digestive systems. Usually happens to animals.

Ex. Puppy ate the top of the food bag to get to the food and swallowed the string. Now you have to pull out the butt thread hanging from their anus.

thread pool

Thread pool is a collection of pre-initialized, idle threads that are ready to execute tasks. In network programming, it optimizes the use of system resources by reusing threads for multiple tasks. Ironically, the name sounds like the title of the movie your parents think is too inappropriate for you to watch.

I tried explaining about thread pool to my friends, but all they could think about was how it sounded like that movie they aren't allowed by their parents to see.
