parcan

Light commonly used in theatrical settings or for bands and soforth. Short for parabolic reflector in a can - it's basically a car headlight, very high wattage (typically 500-750) and quite bright. They're also known for being quite cheap and throwing a nice, even light but not being nearly as flexible as an ellipsoidal or fresnel.
If you drop a light from the catwalk, you're in deep shit - unless it was just a parcan.

joe pera

One of the sweetest guys on the planet who talks on TV for a living. And when he talks to you, you listen because listening to him soothes your mind. He has a show on adult swim called Joe Pera Talks with You where he rambles on about the little things in life in the most beautiful way. Great way to unwind I would say.
A: I just met Joe Pera at the supermarket. We bought some bananas together and talked about lighthouses
B: Daamn. I wish I was there. I could use a little bit of his positivity in my life

PEBCAK

What the actual issue is on 90 percent of all calls to technical support/I.T. help desks, it is an acronym meaning "Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard."

The use of this term became common when tech support people began to have a need to vent frustration on arrogant callers who had, in fact, themselves caused the problem, yet continued to insist it was the computer's fault, or the techie's fault.

So you would explain to the user that it was a PEBCAK error, and then walk them through how to fix it.
John (technical support person, just leaving work, holding his head in his hands)...

James (technical support person just coming on shift, passes John on his way out)

James: "Rough day today, John?"

John: "Yeah, 99 percent of my calls today were PEBCAKs...do they make Excedrin in one-pound tablets? I have a headache the size of Texas!"
