boilerplate

1. The standardized, non-specific parts of a contract; the fine print that gets tacked on by lawyers to protect themselves and their clients.

2. The unsubscription notice at the bottom of bulk emails from the spam operations that bother to pretend that they comply with the CANSPAM legislation. (first used by Paul Graham in his groundbreaking essays on spam)

Origin: The American Press Association shared its building with a sheet-iron processing plant when it was founded 1892. Chicago printers dubbed the noisy American Press offices a boilerplate factory, and boilerplate became the word used to refer to the third-rate filler that the syndicated news agency turned out.

The failure of Urban Dictionary to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision, or portion of any provision, of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to enact the intentions of the TOS. Under any circumstances other provisions of the TOS shall remain in full force and effect. You, the user, agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of, or related to, use of the Service, its content, or the TOS must be filed within two (2) months of the time in which the events giving rise to such claim began, or you agree to waive such claim.

brillant

Being incompetent, having a grossly inflated sense of one's competence, and possibly being lazy too, with the result being a very bad (or non-working) design or implementation. Often used in conjunction with the name "Paula". Originates from a post on The Daily WTF (an online forum discussing examples of bad programming practices) where a lazy programmer named Paula had coded exactly five lines of Java for a major project in several months and had managed to bullshit her way through weekly meetings regarding her progress. One of the lines was:

private String paula = "Brillant";

whose sheer elementariness, inappropriateness in production code, narcissism and self-inflation, with a weird spelling for "Brillant" on top of everything else, was deemed memorable.

"Have a separate table for each customer instead of a field in a single table? That's brillant!"

Boiled Peanuts

A delicious snack consisting of green (raw), unshelled peanuts boiled in salt water. This delicacy is typically purchased in gas station parking lots and roadside vegetable stands and consumed by southerners of all socio-economic backgrounds. Almost always served in Styrofoam cups and wrapped in the skimpiest napkin ever made, this salty snack is intended to be shared with family and friends although it is not uncommon for asocial types to devour the whole cup as to not share any with his wife/mistress.
