Name given to large marinal areas where rubbish collects in what has become known as the 'Subtropic Gyro': a gigantic whirlpool in the middle of the the North Pacific ocean nicknamed 'Strangelove Ocean'! (refers of course to the old Dr. himself!)
Concerned scientists has called these no-fish areas 'dead zones'* where there is shortage of life-affirming O2. Other concerns relating to the depleted sealife-forms are the coral areas in the Great Barrier Reef that marine biologists call these vulnerable pollution-sensitive 'bleached'-out corals 'sea reserves', 'marine rainforests' or collectively 'endangered oceans'!
*Also called OMZs (oxygen-mnimum zones), 'paper parks'.

Similiar places on Earth that have the same problem with Garbage Patch are the Kleenix Trail in the Tibetan base camp at Nepal where climbers and tourons leave their trash behind them and Crap Alley; the mountainous climber-magnet distanation in Glencoe, Scotland.

Husband: Babe I think I'm going bald I can feel my scalp...check it please.

Get the baloney patchmug. A computer patching strategy that is was invented to maximize the likelihood of outages, infuriate end-users, and disrupt the work/life balance of system administrators. This strategy is usually conceived by company executives as a knee-jerk reaction to some longstanding but previously-unknown threat, and with no input from (or regard for) the sysadmins responsible for implementing it.
"Why were all the systems down when everyone came into work Monday morning?"
"Patch Friday"
"Sorry guys, I can't go for beers. It's patch Friday."
