When you overreact to a small setback with an exaggerated display of emotion that causes people to question your sanity, that's a Dean Scream.
Howard Dean was widely considered to be the front-runner in the 2004 primaries, but on the night of Iowa's caucus, it was obvious that he'd been beaten in part by John Kerry, and also by John Edwards and Dennis Kucinich(who were working together to get delegates - oopsy, John got more than Howard!) and in a bug-eyed rant, he attempted to cheer himself and his supporters up by telling them about all the other states they'd win in, and topping it off with a hysterical scream very much like a donkey braying(appropriately enough, Dean is a Democrat.) The jury was out for a while on whether he was screaming in joy or agony, but nevertheless, Dean was done after that.

Concealing upgraded functionality in an apparently lower-level product, which is then restored by a ridiculously simple action, such as opening up a panel and turning a screw.
In the heyday of the mainframe, hardware upgrades were installed ahead of time and deactivated. When the customer was finally up-sold on the improvements, a sales engineer simply crawled inside and did little more than turn a screw.
The reward/effort ratio was so high that this practice was called the Golden Screwdriver.
Certain software programs appear to be sold in different versions, but in reality, these functionality tiers are controlled by the serial number the user is given to enter during registration.

Get the screaming meemies mug.When a song is screwed, that means it's slowed down a bit. "Chopping" is when you have the record on one turntable, and the same record on another turntable but delayed one beat, then you crossfade between the two for a beat to double up a half-second part. Usually you "chop" on the fourth beat to double up the first beat of the next measure. DJs often use the "flanger" effect on one of the records to make the chops "swoop."
