Get the Delete Key mug.When it comes to engines, the term "deleting" refers to the removal of one or more of the emissions control devices that the engine came with. When an emissions device is "deleted", the device and any other relevant components in question are physically removed and the engine is then re-tuned to run without said device.
"Deleting" is different from "defeating" in the sense that "deleting" refers to physically removing emissions devices, but "defeating" involves disabling emissions devices while leaving all of them in place on the engine. For example, an EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) cooler can be defeated by welding it shut in some spot or blocking it off from one or both ends by inserting a metal plate between the cooler and the exhaust or intake manifold. DPF's (Diesel Particulate Filters) can be defeated by being drilled out or by installing bypass pipes.
On Diesel engines, people who do deletes will typically remove EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) systems and DPF's (Diesel Particulate Filters), as these two systems are infamous for drastically increasing a Diesel engine's fuel consumption.

Here in Michigan we no longer have any kind of emissions testing, which means that today you can find quite a few deleted Diesel trucks, and even some cars and SUV's, running around in the state.

Get the Dede mug.The ultimate RT Twitter insult.
Implies something just tweeted was so foolish, moronic, and pointless the person who wrote it should just close their account and walk away in shame.

Get the delete your account mug.Deet is what the little brown people on "Super Mario Brothers" do. They walk left and right and go "Deet, deet, deet!". A little brown person on Super Mario Brothers is referred to as a "goomba". Goomba's are the most common creatures that deet. Deet can also be used in the form of "getting someone", you say "I'll deet ya!".
"I hate the goomba's on Super Mario Brothers! They'll deet ya!"

Get the deet mug.Used for MSN Messenger to effectively stop someone from talking to you. Block them so you appear offline to them, and delete them so they don't waste space on your list.
