Ninett

A very uncommon name; usually the name or nickname of a very beautiful girl. She is very kind and honest to those around her. From a distance she might seem shy, but once you get to know her she can bring out the best in a person.
I'm lucky to know someone like Ninett.

Ninety-Ninety Rule

A rule for tracking computer programming development time.

The full statement of the rule is, "The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of the development time. The remaining 10% of the code accounts for the other 90% of the development time."

The rule simultaneously emphasizes two important points in software development. The first is that for almost any product, most of the development time will be used on relatively small but difficult sections of the code. The second is that the first point often leads to extremely optimistic project schedules.

The ultimate lesson to learn from this rule is that the amount of the project that is completed is NOT tied to the amount of code completed, and that substituting one for the other can be disastrous.

The ninety-ninety rule is often mistaken for a typo, with users assuming that the first 90% of code should correspond to the first 10% of time; while this is logically correct, it is NOT the original aphorism.
A: "This stupid ten-line function is somehow crashing on one out of every 100 calls and nobody has a clue how to fix it. We've got a week left in the schedule and haven't even fully identified the problem."

B: "Ninety-Ninety Rule. You should have expected from the start that something like this would come up."

Because Nintendo

When Nintendo announce a really cool thing, but caveat it with something dumb that nobody understands
"Animal Crossing looks amazing! My kids will love creating their own islands on the Switch!"
"You can only have one island per Switch, regardless of the profile."
"But why?!"

"Because Nintendo."

"Amazing! Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy are all coming to the Switch as part of a collection!"

"It's only available until March."

"But why?!"

"Because Nintendo."

Nintendo

A video game company that used to make toys and other products. They make great games and they're my personal favorite company. Unfortunately, idiots hate Nintendo, because if a little kid can enjoy Mario or Zelda, that must mean Nintendo is kiddy, right? Well fuck you, Nintendo is awesome.
Idiot: Hi, I hate Nintendo because they're all kiddy and the are t3h suck!
Me: Shut the hell up. You go play your shitty ass Madden games while I enjoy a game of The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past.

NHL Ninetysex

You let a girl have sex with you while you are playing NHL 96 on Sega Genesis.
I flaked on going out with my friends last night and had NHL Ninetysex instead. It was awesome, I was the Hartford Whalers and beat the LA Kings while my girl was on top.
