teched off

A state of annoyance produced by other people's tactless use of technology.

I was so teched off when I saw Ben texting as I told him about my brother's upcoming operation.

We got teched off when those morons sitting next to us at the coffee shop were both making cellphone calls and talking ridiculously loudly.

The professor was teched off when she discovered most her students were gchatting during her lectures.

Teaching Assistant

A graduate/doctoral student who as part of their requirements assists a professor in their area of study with large lectures. They are often knowledgable about the material and are available to provide extra help to students who do not understand the material. Most TAs are fairly young (1-2 years older than undergraduate seniors) and the professors give them the sole responsibility of handling the grading of exams and other assignments. However, do not be fooled by their sincerity and kindness. They will not cut you any slack if you failed an exam because you're boyfriend broke up with you or your dog ate your homework. God, help you if they catch you cheating or plagiarizing because they will make your life a living hell. And in most cases, they are extremely harsh with their grading and they are usually told to manipulate grades so that the average falls below a certain grade.

They are often overworked by the entire department for which they are employed by. Often times they have their own coursework, projects, and research to focus on but since they need the money to stay in grad school they agree to help with coursework. Since they are essentially at the mercy of the department, it's likely that they will take their frustration out on your grades and you will most likely not do very well in the courses.

Student: Yo, Todd my Teaching Assistant is mad chill. I saw him drunk at the bar last night and he told me that I would get an A in the course.

Two days later

Student: WTF, I thought I was gonna do well. My TA is such a jerk.

Student 2: Please change my grade, I'll do anything.
TA: Sorry, I wouldn't have time for anything....

Student 3: If I don't get an A in this class, I'll get disowned by my family.
TA: I was disowned the moment I graduated college, it's honestly not that bad.

tech-stack

Tech-stack is spinster millennial speak for "software package". When a company presents you with a "tech-stack" - go find someone more experienced.

We have no idea what our client needs, but if we present some things to them and call it a tech-stack that'll make it sound much more important than "a set of software recommendations".

Warren Tech

A school plagued by white asf Hicks and Hillbillies who blast their country music on speakers as they roam the halls and think owning a big ass truck makes up for their tiny ass dick (and it doesn’t). (Relatively sure half of them are inbred). But don’t worry, that’s not all here at Tech! There’s also plenty of white bitches who believe they can fight and spend their parents money on juul pods and booze. If that isn’t enough to satisfy you, there is a legit orgy group at this school. There is little to no connection in this fucking brick prison of a school, and half the teachers are whacked out as fuck. But if you need to take a break from it all, feel free to hit the the juul room.

“Hey man, I’m thinking about applying to Warren Tech, do you think I should?”
“Warren Tech? Fuck no! That school is full of inbred hillbillies.”
