percussive tuning 

A comedic pseudonym, typically within engineering circles, for using brute force approach (typically a using hammer, see fine adjustment device) for solving a problem.
I used percussive tuning to fix the engine's timing problem.

The step before dating, usually at this stage both people are aware they like each other but choose to get to know each other/flirt first. Probably the cutest and funnest stage.

WARNING: lack of official relationship may cause one of the people involved in tuning to believe dating/hooking up/tuning with others is acceptable.
cameron: "oi bra, who you tuning?"
jake: "hey man, that new chick kirsty"
cameron: "aw yeah she's real hot! but what happened to jess?"

A city in Northern Italy close to the Alps, it is probably best known to British people as being the set for the adventurous film, 'The Italian Job'.
The film did excellent work exposing some of Turin's most prominent landmarks, indeed the Mini Cooper chase was designed to take in sights like the Fiat Factory, the shopping malls, the Gran Madre di Dio church and the Torino Palavela buliding.
Turin is Italy's car capital with the Fiat Group based here, and it also hosted the Winter Olympics in early 2006. Turin most prominent sporting legacy though is the world renowned football team, Juventus FC.
A short city break to Turin may be a refreshing break from work.

Turing-like 

Any shitty programming language with no practical purpose. Usually slow and cumbersome, and with a quirks that no other programming language has/should have.

Named after the educational programming language from Holtsoft.
"FUCK! The York University assembly language is a Turing-like!"
