sorcerer's apprentice mode

Like Mickey Mouse's brooms, sorcerer's apprentice mode is a computer event that triggers over and over again on its own output. There was once a time on USENET (an internet message board system) where a program was written to cancel anonymously posted messages automatically. Problem was, the canceling message was also an anonymous message which caused the program to trigger on its own output.

This actually will happen if you try to downgrade a 2.0 firmware PSP and you have Norton running...the screen real estate gets used up faster and faster with the same darn error message. This is because it gets a false positive that the downgrader is PSPBrick, then Norton quarantines the "virus" which causes it to notice the freshly quarantined virus as a new virus that was just installed seconds later, and the process repeats.

some source (sorce) code

int main(){
printf("There's been a horrible error!);
main(); /* call the main function and eat more memory */
}
return 0
"I tried to copy the downgrader to my PSP, but Norton seems to have went into sorcerer's apprentice mode."

Pearl Apron

when ejaculation upon the face or body of another is accompanied by a gratuitous amount of previously harvested semen. Most commonly warmed then poured from a bucket, the result is an apron of hot man chowder draping the recipient. Surveys have shown that this is a great alternative to a bukkake when space is tight.
Ever since the bukkake my mom has to be drenched in cum to get off. So instead of calling all the guys over, I decided to save up on my own. It took weeks to prepare a Pearl Apron this grand, and boy are my arms tired...I poured it on her right after I blew my load in her eye and she nearly drowned, but she loved it! Only the best for my mommy!

Cultural Appropriation

Something that white people came up with because they have nothing better to complain about even though minorities like myself literally couldnt care less
Person: (wears something related to another culture)
White social justice warrior: OMG CULTURAL APPROPRIATION

Person from that culture: Oh that’s nice I like to see other people trying things from my culture in order to break the divide between our cultures

The Sausages do not Approve

A phrase coined by F8thLeSS-Priicher meant to be a stupid way of making a negative statement with a referance to "My Hime" an anime in which one character's hair has ponytail-like things that look like sausages and is the jealous-type and when she thinks her "boyfriend" is looking at someone else her hair moves around franticly while she yells at him.
Clutz: Why won't this Computer work?!
F8thLeSS: Because The Sausages do not Approve of your methods.
Clutz: *punch*
F8thLeSS: Asshole...
