test email

An email, usually very short, sent for the purpose of testing whether the email system is working. The sender's purpose may be:
- to find out whether the sender's outgoing email is configured correctly
- to troubleshoot the end-to-end connection between a sender and recipient

If the sender is able to find his solution with no response from the recipient, the test email will usually contain a terse instruction like "ignore this email."

If the sender needs a response from the recipient in order to complete the test, then the test email will say something like "let me know if you got this."

unit test

Its when you do a package test on your date to verify she is not a tranny.

Phil's date was beautiful, but she had a deep voice, so he decided to do a unit test before he kissed her.

test-fuck

To "test-fuck" is to have sex with somebody for evaluatory purposes. You can test-fuck somebody to determine if you'd like to fuck them in the future. You can also test-fuck someone for a friend.

"I think you're pretty foxy, let's test-fuck to see if we're sexually compatible"

"I am coming to New York next month, why don't you test-fuck a few hotties for me, and find me someone suitable?"

"I thought Leroy was pretty cute, but after our mediocre test-fuck I decided he wasn't worth a second date"

The Mulaney Test

The Mulaney Test is the informal name of the "worse word" scenario outlined in John Mulaney's hit 2012 standup special "New in Town." Mulaney describes a situation in which he is writing for an awards show and uses the word "midget" in a script. Mulaney is confronted by network personnel and told that he "can't put the word midget on TV" because "'Midget' is as bad as the 'n-word" to which Mulaney retorts "First off: no. No, it's not! "Do you know how I know it's not," I said to him, "is because we’re saying the word 'midget,' and we’re not even saying what the 'n-word' is!"

Finally, Mulaney offers The Mulaney Test succinctly: If you're comparing the badness of two words, and you won’t even say one of them? That's the worse word.

Z: Man, the boss said some wild shit earlier.
J: Like what?
Z: Well, he was talking about Indians and some other shit I can even say out loud.
J: Oh wow
Z: Yeah, I don't know which was worse
J: Well, per The Mulaney Test, the stuff you won't say out loud was worse.

Benchmark test

A dumb test that has nothing to do with what you learned or studied for, for the past 2 weeks

i studied geometry for 2 weeks strait but instead of a geometry benchmark test they gave me a calculus benchmark test.

speed test

Similar to the speed test used to test your internet connection, but this speed test is used to determine which checkout line is moving faster. It involves a snap judgment as to (1) which checkout clerk looks the least likely to encounter a situation in which they have to call the manager, and (2) which customers are least likely to have some sort of problem at checkout.

I used the speed test at Costco and got burned when the line I changed into was actually slower than the line I moved out of.
