DVR Credit

The term DVR credit is the time earned when you pause or rewind live television on your DVR. You subsequently spend your DVR credit to fast forward through the commercials, or unwanted content.

DVR credit has a maximum value equal to the total time of the commercials/ unwanted content. If you record beyond this maximum value you’re just watching recorded television.

The term DVR credit was coined by early DVR adopters, from Chicago, IL.
"Dinner is ready, pause the game and we're earn DVR credit while we eat."

"Ok, lets spend some of our DVR credit and skip this crappy half time show."

LADDER OF CREDIT

The attempted explanation of increasing a consumers credit score based on making satisfactory payments to a lender. This is usually accompanied by a amateurish drawing of a ladder. Both customer and manager explaining this seem to either be drunk or confused.
If you make these payments on time on our ladder of credit, you will progress up the ladder and your credit will ssssshhhhooootttt(slurred) right up.

Eco-cred

In short, “Ecological Credibility”. One gains eco-cred by exhibiting behaviors that suggest a commitment to the environment. Driving a hybrid car gives you eco-cred. Riding a bicycle to work gives you MAJOR eco-cred. Recycling cans, plastic and newspaper gives you very little eco-cred, but recycling your neighbor’s trash by digging through it to find recyclable products gains you lots of eco-cred.
People concerned with their level of eco-cred often feel the urge to measure themselves against others. One-upmanship is the order of the day when environmentally-aware types get together. It is very important to always win these contests. If your buddy bikes to work every day, then tell him that you also bike to work, while charging your laptop using converted pedal-power. Having an iPod powered by solar cells is a nice touch, too.
Riding public transportation is a reasonable effort towards eco-credibility, but if you take the bus because you don’t feel like driving, don’t tell anyone…Make them think you refuse to use a pollution machine that contributes to gridlock, choosing instead to use your time on the bus to invent new uses for Hemp. Hopefully your fellow passengers will never notice that you drive an SUV.
Ronda gained major eco-cred at the GreenPeace rally by showing off her solar-powered iPod.
