take a number

Figurative: "If you want to discuss this topic with me, you will need to wait your turn, as there are any number of others who wish to do so who got here before you did."

Comes from a line control mechanism that is found today with decreasing frequency, where one is requested to take a numbered ticket from a strategically placed dispenser and accordingly wait for that number to be called.
Your computer just blew up? Take a number, I've been getting calls on that all day.

number plate

Identifying plates fitted to vehicles in the UK (and elsewhere), carrying the vehicle's registration number.
Similar to License plate, Registration plate etc.

In the UK the reg. no. belongs to the vehicle, not the driver, and contains information about the age of the vehicle and the region in which it was first sold. The system is administered by the DVLA.

The reg. number is alphanumeric, and takes the form AB12 CDE on vehicles registered after 2001, or A123 BCD on vehicles registered before 2001.

jimaginary number

A portmanteau of "j" and "imaginary" for the imaginary component of a complex number. This means the same thing as Imaginary Number, and typically this number would have an italicized i after it. In electrical engineering, the letter "i" has other and more apparent meanings, so to avoid confusion we pick the next letter, j.
Compare imaginary with jimaginary number
Sheldon would use 1 + 2i.
Howard would use 1 + 2j.

Spleen Number 1,021

The 1,021 spleen in your body, the ABSOLUTE MODT IMPORTANT spleen in your body. The 1,021 spleen was created/invented/found/founded by The Advertiser of the 10/21 crew. Thus giving it it's name Spleen 1,021. Easily confused with Spleen 73, which Spleen 73 is a very important spleen but not the most important. Remember the 1,021 spleen is in different places than anyone else's (unless you're in "The 10/21 Crew") and you have different amounts of spleens. Spleen 1,021 is the most important spleen for 367 days of the year, and after 34.2 years Spleen 1,021 will kill other spleens that are not important. You may ask "Why is spleen 73 important?" Well there is an easy answer for that, if you take 7+3 it is = to 10, and 7•3 is = to 21; making 10/21. But there is another important spleen you NEED to know about, spleen number 0/2. Why is spleen 0/2 important. If you take the absolute value of 0/2 (write it down and put 0/2 beside each other like it is typed on here, don't put it as a fraction) it equals 10/21, don't believe me. |0/2|... There you go it clearly says 10/21. So that is my story about spleens. Remember GetHyperGetRekt and #Save10/21.
Tyler: (walks in room and pokes Breyer) Why is your Spleen so squishy.

Breyer: I don't know, Spleen Number 1,021 is always squishy.

Tyler: (walks in room holding arm)

Breyer: What's wrong Tyler?

Tyler: Spleen Number 1,021 hurts.
