"Cloud Confusing" is a term used for incorrectly defining Cloud Computing. Sales reps and naive IT Consultants use the term Cloud Computing to refer to any client/server system where the server resides on the internet, and is maintained via a web-based interface.
Cloud Computing actually is much more involved than client/server technology. Distributed processing, data storage, bandwidth, and scalability are able to be added or removed with no harm to existing data, and there is no single point of bottleneck or failure.

IT Consultant: "We offer Cloud Computing as part of your hosting package! Now you can maintain your own CMS, Blog, Forums, and lots of other contemporary services on your site!"
Developer: "Those are simple client/server hosting applications on your server. What you're talking about is Cloud Confusing."

Get the Cloud Confusing mug.When two men place the ends of a toilet roll tube into their bum holes and shit through it into each other's arses.
Last night I went over to Matt's and he told me to shove the end of a toilet roll tube into my arse. Once I'd done this he paced his anus on the other end and we proceeded to poo into each other. I asked him what we'd just done and he told me we'd just been commuting the Bakerloo line. We'd not even left the house.

If one could consider the internet itself as being similar to a "cloud", in the way that it seemingly floats ubiquitously over everything and is not owned by anyone, cloud computing is using a cheap, rudimentary computer terminal as the only hardware you need in order to accomplish fully functional computing.
Man! Alhamdullilah that each one of us is finally able through cloud computing to stop being tied down to all that duplicative hardware!

Get the cloud computing mug.A term that basically describes the many loss of IT jobs.
Back in the good ol' days, manpower was required to get work done. These days, you just need a bunch of Indians (From India) who follow a scripted business model, and offer, or at least what they consider, a "service".
The large volume of third-world competition has not only decimated industry-level wages by about 40%, but has also eliminated thousands of previously existing jobs.
Simply put, if you are considering a career in IT, stay away! All of us who are now in IT are wishing we had chosen a different career path as we do not know if there will be a career for us in the long-term.

2008 (new student intake class) - professor speaking: "There are MANY jobs in IT! You will all start at over $60,000 per year! STARTING! You kids were smart to make this choice!
2011 (graduates) - outcome: Average starting wages fell to around 35-40k per year.
"Gee golly, sir, I sure do love being taken advantage of by my employer due to the shitty economic climate!"
Another example:
A student looks for a job, only to discover that all "junior" entry-level positions, require 3-5 years of industry-level experience. Life is so not fair sometimes.
A dude gets rejected after his 4th interview for requesting a livable wage:
"cloud computing can kiss my ass!"
