ctrl-shift-esc

Ctrl+Shift+Esc is an alternative key command to Ctrl+Alt+Del, for systems with Windows Vista or higher/newer installed. It may also be available in older versions of Windows, depending on system configurations (i.e. multiple user accounts are registered to the system/computer). Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del will typically bring up the Windows Security screen. From there the Task Manager is accessible, among other options (log off, change password, shut down, etc.). In contrast, pressing Ctrl+Shift+Esc will launch the Task Manager directly, skipping the step of navigating the Windows Security screen. Both are equally effective. It is up to the individual user to determine which is most convenient.

In campus library:

Student: "WTF! My laptop froze AGAIN!! I'm never gonna get this assignment done..." -reaches to hold power button down-

Student's friend: "Whoa, wait a sec! Try hitting control, shift, escape. It might be not be Office that's crashing. Save yourself some hassle."

Person across table: -looks over at the two, confused- "Don't you mean control, alt, delete?"

Student's friend: "Same idea, but this is a little quicker."

Person across table: "Oh. I hadn't heard of that. Never mind, then." -shrugs and returns to reading-

Student's friend: -presses ctrl-shift-esc, then navigates Task Manager to look for unresponsive program(s) to close- "See, it was the media player you had going. You would've lost a whole page if you just shut it off like that."

Student: "That's awesome! Thank you!"

shufti

A word of Arabic origin meaning "look!" Was brought back to Britain after the Second World War by returning soldiers who had learnt the word from Arab peddlars of dirty postcards. The peddlars used to keep the postcards hidden inside their coats and would show them to soldiers saying "Shufti, shufti!" - "Look, look!"

"Take a shufti at this!"

Graveyard Shift

The worst shift to work; one must work through the night while tired and bored as fuck.

Mike: Nah, I got the graveyard shift.
John: Ouch, sorry man.

C-Shift Slam

When FireFighters on C-Shift get an unremarkable amount of calls and neglect station duties, wake up late, put equipment out of service that was functioning properly, and complain that the other shifts do not get anything accomplished. But in reality only 3 calls were ran and one call was on the 2nd day of the 48 hour shift.

Shift A,B: how was your guys tour?

Shift C: We got slammed.

Shift A,B: How many calls did you get?

Shift C: We got slammed capt, we got slammed, we ran 3 calls, we got slammed

Shift A to shift B: That's a C-Shift Slam, running no calls and complaining that got slammed with a mad amount of calls
