weak layer

A weak layer is used to describe a layer of snow within the snowpack that may be prone to causing a snow avalanche.

Weak layers are caused by changes in snow pack's temperature, snow crystal type and snow crystal deformation resulting from changes in atmospheric conditions and moisture content.

We dug a snow pit on Pucker Face and found a really weak layer that is sure to rip a avalanche on the next bone head who tries to ski it.

ostensible layer

an unfortunate and rather concrete layer of reality created as a coincidental byproduct of ambiguity in communication through an inadequately defined, poorly understood, and intentionally abused sub/urban vernacular.

on the ostensible layer, me & that ho are not together; however we still live together, have sex, and are engaged to be married next june.

four-layer cake

The act of being pooped on, vomited on, ejaculated on and peed on simultaneously. Usually involving five participants -- wherein the "chosen one" will take a knee in the middle, and the other four will begin the process while surrounding him/her.

She never knew true love, until she was given a four-layer cake.

layer 8

c.f. the OSI (7 layer) reference model (physical, link, network, transport, session, presentation, application). "Layer 8" refers to variably the "political", "management", "lawyer", "business", or "money" layer, or some other element the speaker wishes to be denigrate as being technically irrelevant and therefore stupid. Nearly always followed by the word "issues" or "problem".

Not only was the ISO protocol stack technically over-engineered, it became far too embroiled in Layer 8 issues to ever become useful.

Yes, some of our Exchange users need IMAP, but some moron in the security group thinks it isn't "secure". It's a Layer 8 problem.

peak-layer

when packing a bowl, the packer simply adds a few small leaves of green to the top of the bowl for the next person to get a hit.

if someone takes your Greens, instead of getting pissed off, just peak-layer the bowl and move on.

Seven-Layer Loser

An individual who has sustained a life of failure in no fewer than seven areas unique to human existence. These areas include, but are not limited to, spirituality, intellectualism, fitness, optimism, family relationships, romantic relationships, philosophy, finance, career, philanthropy, academics. A true "Seven-Layer Loser" is incapable of even portraying themselves in any way as complete, accomplished or appreciated.

Kim Kardashian is the Michael Jordan of seven-layer losers.
