Information Hoare

Someone who seeks information for information sake, for processing, manipulation, storage, reporting, simply to ensure that it is available when asked for (or simply to claim to have it, useful or otherwise). Named after Tony Hoare, was a pioneer in programming and data processing (he created the Quicksort algorithm).

SysAdmin: Which logs do you need from my servers?
SecDude: All of them
SysAdmin: You don't need *all* of them, do you?
SecDude: I might . . .
SysAdmin: You're such an information hoare.

Mis-Informed Octopus

The act of placing your thumb in your rectum, and using the other four fingers to scratch and paw at your grundle(*see Angry Spider). Then tell your partner to place there thumb in your rectum as well and to overlap there fingers over yours and copy the same movements as you.

This forms the image of an octopus with its head stuck in a hole.

Say Chuck, would you like to perform a Mis-Informed Octopus with me tonight....

vaccine informed

The lame term created by the antivaxxer crowd because they can’t accept the fact that they’re wrong.

“I’m not an Antivaxxer, I’m Vaccine Informed”
“No, Karen. You’re an idiot.”

“I’m Vaccine Informed, and know it’s bad to get vaccines. I read the insert!”
“Ok, Karen, you don’t trust pharmaceutical companies, but will believe their material.”

information closet

A digital space (commonly a folder) where miscellaneous information that hasn't been put away properly is stored.

Don't look in that temporary folder, it's my information closet.
