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.

buffer test

Any coming test, college, high school, or middle school, that you know you will do/have done well or exceptional on. This test is a safeguard for the other test/paper that you know you will to poorly on. For absorbing the shock of when you get a 73 on your term paper.

Dude, I think I'm set for the end of the year; I got a ninety on that history test, and I'm thinkin' that's my buffer test for that hugeass paper we have to write for Smith.

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."

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"

A Millie Test

Listening to Lil Wayne's bass-heavy song "A Millie", in order to test out the bass on new headphones or speakers.

I just gave my new iPod speakers the A Millie Test.....my eardrums hurt!

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.
