procedure

Defined by Gina Linetti as just a fancy word for 'proper order to do things'.

It's a Brooklyn 99 joke, y'all.
Rosa: We followed procedure.
Gina: 'Procedure' is just a fancy word for 'proper order to do things'.
Holt: Yes, that is it's definition.

chemical process engineer

When you were 18, the university recruiters told you chemical engineering had "so much variety" and "so many opportunities!" Now, you're graduating 4 years later and have realized that your only two options include oil refining (making gasoline from crude oil) and plastics (making polyethylene from ethylene).

This is probably okay, because whatever you suffer in breathing in toluene all day wearing dark coverall FRC's in 95°F weather, you'll make up for with a 6-digit salary right out of school. You also find yourself with a strangely intimate understanding of how everything around you works, like swimming pools, HVAC, cars, plumbing... everything.
Snooty grad-school materials researcher: "So what are you doing after you graduate?"

You: "I'll be working for a (Exxon/Valero/TOTAL/Phillips66/Shell/Citgo/Lyondell/BP) refinery."

SNGSMR: "Oh, so you're *just* a chemical process engineer?"

You: *grabbing another beer, talking to someone else, driving home in your brand new car...*

Ford Probe

Selling fully loaded (when new) inside of $25,000, it's the poor man's Ferrari. The four-banger base-model is a cheap little cutey-patootie coupe.

The 2.5-liter V-6 GT, however, is the most underappreciated sports car of all time, largely because of the four-banger models. It can, and routinely does, smoke its contemporaries, such as the 240sx, the Celica GT/GT-S, and the Honda Civic or Acura Integra. To this day, the machine's reliability lets it take on modern-day cars, from the vaunted Mustang GT to the Civic Si.

Let's see some good ol' boy in some rustang take that. With his pathetic solid rear axle.
-It's bad enough my Probe GT takes your Mustang GT in every handling category, but I beat you in drag too. Why did you waste all that money?
-Wow. The Ford Probe GT takes a lot of crap about the name, but no one ever wins against it in a race. Wonder why?

Cell Processor

Cell is a microprocessor architecture jointly developed by a Sony, Toshiba, and IBM alliance known as STI.

Cell is a shorthand for Cell Broadband Engine Architecture, commonly abbreviated CBEA in full or Cell BE in part. Cell combines a general-purpose POWER-architecture core of modest performance with streamlined coprocessing elements which greatly accelerate multimedia and vector processing applications, as well as many other forms of dedicated computation.

The major commercial application of Cell is in Sony's upcoming PlayStation 3 game console which is slated to launch in November 2006. It will also become available in a blade configuration from Mercury Computer Systems. Toshiba has announced plans to incorporate Cell in high definition television sets. Exotic features such as the XDR memory subsystem and coherent EIB interconnect appear to position Cell for future applications in the supercomputing space to exploit the Cell processor's prowess in floating point kernels.
