Whereas a modern web software application has separate layers for presentation (user interface), business logic, and storage etc. (because modular construction is easier to build and debug) it is usually called an "n-tier architecture", where n represents the number of modules or layers. It is much more secure and robust than the "old way" (1-tier), where one machine was the web server, file server, database, and firewall. A program which has illogical or insufficient rules (i.e. absence of business logic) can be termed "(n-1) tier", as a crucial part (usually the part that makes the software smart or helpful) has obviously been omitted by scatterbrained developers, detached managers, clueless requirements analysts, dumb pilot members, etc.
Employee A: Did you submit your travel costs yet?
Employee B: No, our stupid online expense system kept giving me a cryptic error.
Employee A: Yup, that EOM app is an (n-1) tier system...
Boss: I need you to fix your time charges for last week. You entered 45 hours instead of 4.5 hours on Wednesday.
Subject: Must've been a fat-finger. Too bad our accounting system can't catch that obvious error. It's just another (n-1) tier waste of code.

The act of eating spicy Mexican food, waiting a duration and then defecating on your partner’s breast followed by sexual intercourse with said breast. If done correctly, the surface will be quite slippery and also spicy enough to burn your pee hole.
After eating Mexican Food, Johnny and Carla were feeling frisky. Carla asked Johnny to give her a Mexican Slip N' Slide . So he shit on her tits and fucked them. The burn in his pee hole didn’t stop him from finishing.

2 Chicks that will allow me to demonstrate for a large audience, firstly, The Zombie Mask, and then, as quickly as I can muster another full on chubby, Wolfbagging
Ash 'n Flick messaged me on MySpace to say that they wanted me to Wolfbag and Zombie Mask them in front of her friends as they weren't sure what it meant and she couldn't describe adequately. I quickly finished my Daily Dirty Sanchez with Sasha before fulfilling my obligations.

The act of offering up unwanted hot food in group settings to ravenous yet dirty individuals, such as a campfire or hobo camp.
Le Cook: Got enough for a Mac n' Cheese come around! Who wants some of my saucy cheese noodles?!
All: Dope!
All: Dope!

if n-host is your motto, you are probably a close-minded individual; if you personally haven't heard of something it doesn't mean that it doesn't or can't exist or that science has never heard of it.

N-host as a concept, may or may not exist, since something can exist, even if you personally have never heard of it.
