Sift

To cupcake or spend valuable time flirting/charming/fucking/etc with another person. Sifters ignore everything else in the world including family, friends, money, fun, other partners, and in serious cases work. Sifting is a serious condition that should not be taken lightly and should be addressed immediately upon diagnosis.

Berby likes to sift all day and all night, drinking wine with his love.

I tried to get him to go to the city but he said he would be too busy sifting in his bedroom.

software piracy

The act of illegally copying and distributing commercial software. Software piracy can range from simply letting a friend "borrow" a CD-ROM to actually selling pirated software and passing it off as genuine.

Software companies employ various methods to fight piracy, including product activation and CD keys.

My friend let me borrow his Office CD; I accepted, even though this was software piracy.

Those guys selling copies of Windows Vista Ultimate for $15 a copy are guilty of software piracy.

software engineer

One who both designs and codes commercial computer programs. It combines the specialties of system analyst and programmer. The term is denigrated by "professional" engineers because there are no licensing or standards boards. Anyone can call himself a Software Engineer.

Our software development project went very smoothly because the software engineers were fully involved from the initial specifications through product completion and testing.
