the ghost in the machine

An ambiguous phrase to describe illogical or unexpected computational behavior that may or may not be caused by some level of sentience be it maintained within the system or at the PEBKAC layer.

Sally couldn't explain why her computer would not work, then as soon as she called IT the machine started working again. IT blamed it on the ghost in the machine

Ghost Run

Created by two guys from East Brunswick in 1987, it is an unofficial tour of the creepiest places in central New Jersey where evil happenings occurred. It is always conducted late at night when the supernatural and followers of the occult are most active. Usually conducted in a large vehicle with six or more passengers. Alcohol is often consumed along the way. The tour guides themselves often set up traps and tricks to freak out their passengers/victims.

After the game on Friday we all climbed into Rod's truck and went on a Ghost Run through Helmetta and Port Street.

Ghost milk

Slang term for getting high on cocaine and Xanax (preferably) but other benzodiazepines are acceptable.

"Hey Alan, all that white powder on your nose reminds me of a milk mustache, did you just ghost milk? Because you can't stop freestyle rapping... this combo gets you in the zone brotha! You're rhythm is crazy fast but with such a smooth lyrical flow. Gotta be dat ghost milk!"

"No man did you forget where you are??

My name's not Alan, it's Ryan, and you've been mumbling to yourself non-stop about conspiracy theories. You're the one that ghost milked! Let me know if we need to get you to rehab..."
