Ledge copy

Written material (a few sentences or an entire paragraph) that has questionable worth in the larger scheme of the story, article, or blog post. Figuratively, the copy is standing on the ledge wondering whether it should "take the leap" or continue on with its existence.

"David thinks he is a great writer, but his writing rambles on and on with meaningless ledge copy. He should just get to the point."

Copy

To steal, to take.

Bach said he was there to study/copy his brother's compositions, when really he was there to steal them and claim them as his own.

Human Copying Machine

A highly trained person that wastes their time having to copy the same data across multiple systems, because:
1. the systems are not connected
2. people refuse to look at the single source of truth and want it in the specific place they look.

The human copying machine becomes frustrated at the waste of time and energy copy/pasting the same data/story when the priority should be focused on helping the customer.

copy-pasto

Equivalent to a typo (a typographical error), a copy-pasto is a copy-paste error.

Frequent in digital industries where humans copy paste everything!

In a document, when yo, when you can read an erroneously duplicated part, you can call it a copy-pasto!

the copy and paste/aesthetic apocalypse

basically it's this kpop stan wanting to move to north korea because "ramen" and "anime" and they dont even know how bad north korea is. they most likely will be wearing some straight black hair with the "beautiful hair for beautiful people" hair or the "clean spikes" ugc hair. in most circumstances, the predator will have black hair, but sometimes it may be brown. they usually have an outfit consisting of checkers and black and white colors, but if their slender left them, they then wear a black torn hoodie with bloody bandages to try and say "im depressed" and their body type is always going to be the woman package but with man legs to try and have an "attractive" look. i will now move onto the slenders, which have a body type that gave their species the name "slender" they usually are very tall with the "robloxian" package but with one leg that makes them even taller. they usually have the "clean spikes" ugc hair, or a bunch of hairs mixed together. they always have black hair, i've never seen one with any color other than that. other than the things ive listed about slenders, they aren't too different from the aesthetic/copy and paste girl.

sharp copy

"Sharp copy" is the phrase sometimes used by photographers to say that the image quality (sharpness in particular) of this particular version of the lens is good. When something is mass-produced, designs are made which define the ideal size, along with the upper and lower limits for tolerance away from this ideal size, for every piece (every screw, hole, seal, etc.) in the final product. When it comes to making a lens, these variances apply to the glass as well as the metal housing. Sometimes a lens which might pass quality inspection at the factory might perform worse than another lens that came off the same production line at a different time.

"This is a pristine, sharp copy of the Canon EF 70-200mm F/2.8 L IS USM Lens; it is flawless."
