When someone describes something loosely, either due to a lack of more descriptive vernacular, or more commonly, they are being vague because they are afraid to confront a person or situation with how they actually feel. People are sometimes ambiguous because their true opinion is brash, rare, too personal, and they either simply haven't the confidence to share it, or sharing it would result in Too Much Information which could prove damaging for either party in the conversation. Ambiguity is common today in things like status messages and news headlines where the writer wants to paint a topic with a broad brush. Politicians are often ambiguous on talking points that they may wish to later flip-flop on.
i.e. status message: "I strongly dislike arrogant people", denotes a value that could use some elaboration, but would probably be too divisive or damaging to share, and so it is purposefully ambiguous.
i.e. "the massage parlour bill had an ambiguous charge added to it"

Get the ambiguous mug.A scary manga by Junji Ito. The plot follows an earthquake which reveals several human-shaped holes on the side of a fault. As people travel to see the spectacle, they realize that the holes were specifically made for individual people. They then become hypnotized into going through their holes, emerging months later on the other side of the mountain, hideously deformed.
The comic is responsible for an internet meme phenomemon that surrounds posting of the following phrases:
“It’s slowly coming this way!”
“Drr…Drr…Drr.”
“This hole was made for me!”

Get the Dank Amigo mug.A process that occurs within a relationship (especially a romantic one) in which someone intentionally commits conflicting actions to make the other person unsure of what the relationship actually is. The point of intentional ambiguity is to keep the other person in relationship purgatory, to lure them in with the possibility of a relationship without making any actual commitments. Intentional ambiguity is when a girl texts you every day for a week straight, then suddenly ghosts you only to text you again a week later asking you for something.
Chloe has been dating 5 different guys on and off for the past year, but hasn't committed to any of them, Chloe has mastered intentional ambiguity.

Get the negro amigo mug.Amiga, a powerful Computer was really ahead of its time. It did in 1985 (or 1992 for Amiga 1200) what the PC-Windows are still dreaming of today.
Amiga is a survivor, a phoenix.
After the Amiga days, bought by Commodore, Escom, Gateway, AmigaInc (bought by KMOS - 2004 or 2005?).
Now the Amiga rebirth is imminent:
New Hardware based on PPC (AmigaOne/A1 and MicroA1).
New Operating System (OS4).
Eyetech is developing the Hardware while Hyperion is developing the OS. And The Amiga Community is helping testing it and creating new Applications (or porting existing...).
Amiga: Back for the future.
