Bandwidth Booty Call

When a friend comes over supposedly to hangout, but in reality their internet has gone down and they are using you to get a broadband connection.

Person 1: Hey it's been a while let's catch up.
Person 2: Come right over.
Person 1: I'll be bringing my laptop so I can talk while I work.
Person 2: Wait a minute, is this a bandwidth booty call?

bandwidth

The speed at which a person can comprehend. A measure of mental agility.

During the morning project meeting, everyone listened as Susan described her logistics problem. Joe was immediately able to offer a plausible solution. Mike, on the other hand, just sat there staring at his coffee cup, unable to offer any ideas.
Not everyone has the same bandwidth.

bandwidth nazi

1) The guy in IT who is in charge of the Internet content filter at work - making your life hell because you can't surf for anything cool.

2) The guy who is tying up the network with excessive bit torrent traffic at work making it impossible to accomplish anything work related.

1) All I want to do is check my fucking gmail and the bandwidth nazi has the site blocked!

2) Why the fuck can't I get webmail to load!? Which one of your bandwidth nazi's is downloading again!?

bandwidth

In electronics and signalling terms it is the difference between the highest frequency component in a signal and the lowest frequency component. So called because it is the same as the width when viewed in the frequency domain or as a fourier transform.

In computing it is the throughput (transmission rate) in bits per second of a connection.

My internet connection has a bandwidth of 256Kbps.

bandwidth

The difference between the highest and lowest frequencies of a transmission channel (the width of its allocated band of frequencies). The term is often used erroneously to mean {data rate} or capacity - the amount of {data} that is, or can be, sent through a given communications circuit per second.

Data capacity is not related to bandwidth
