assembly language

A kind programming language that consists of human readable processor instructions (Mnemonics, as opposed to Opcodes, which would be the number representations of the same instructions). Modern assemblers do furthermore also support certain higher level features, like macros, datatypes or functions.

Also, assembly language is used to distinct the language from the program that translates into machine code. In general use, both are called assembler which leads to the need to specify in certain situations.

It should also be noted that while people often talk about assembly language in general, there is not "the" assembly language, but rather a large group of them, one reason being different processor families having different instruction sets, the other being different assembler programs supporting different features, or having different ways of providing those features.
Assembly language is what real men write their programs in!

Assembly-safe Shuriken

Any small but dense food item served as an hors d'oeuvres at a wedding; the Spinach Vomit-bomb is the most common type of Assembly-safe Shuriken. Since there are always dozens of these left over when the cocktail hour has expired, mischievous guests load their pockets with them, then fling them at annoying guests - which is hard to spot when in a room with 225 people. Typical victims include annoying mother-in-laws, the guy who showed up in the white tux with a pickle stashed in his underpants, and that annoying aunt who manages to interrupt every dance and photo opportunity to get her ugly flowered dress and $10 Wal-Mart sneakers into the frame.
"Aunt May was being a total douchehound so I pegged that bitch in the head with an Assembly-safe Shuriken. Now they can get the wedding party photos done while she combs crumbs out of her hair for an hour."

white assembly tax

The extra price people pay for "luxury" goods just because they were built by white people.

The white assembly tax inspires a false confidence in quality and and an unsupported assurance that the product is the best.

The white assembly tax is confirmed to be added to the price of a product if it is made in Germany, or some other European country.

Ikea and countries formerly part Soviet Union have been known to damage the effect.
It can apply to cars, apparel, even stationary.
Aaron prided himself in his crayon set purchase knowing that the wax was shaped and dyed in Germany.

As soon as Tim saw that the stapler was made in Italy, he took an instant liking to it, even though the stapler next to it from Myanmar was 20% cheaper due to the lack of white assembly tax. The Myanmar stapler also shot lasers and made long distance calls for free.

Apple is sneaky. They affix a "Designed in California" sign to justify the price premium for their products by the white assembly tax. However, they're stuff is still made in China.

I can't listen to top 40s radio; it's all assembly-line music.
