College House's Slope

Located between bungalow No.1 and the North House Girls Domitory, the College House's Slope is the only way for (well, students can also pass through TSK sports field and climb up the stairs to the Ball Court Road, but that's more difficult than walking through the College House's Slope lol) the students going to school from the College House Domitory. But the slope is very slant that is makes students to find very hard and difficult passing it. Some teachers even drive from the teacher's dormitory (Bungalow No.1) to the school (Central Plaza) , though it is only a 2-3 minutes walk.

Siu Ming provide food delivery service to other students in the dormitory because they don't want to walk past the College House's Slope.

Siu Ming would rather listen to Mr. Wong's singing for a hundred times than walking through the College House's Slope for a single time.

Quick Scope

A tactic used by snipers in FPS video games. Older than the COD franchise, this tactic has been made heavily popular with COD: Modern Warfare 1 and 2. One of the biggest debates surrounding quick scoping is whether or not the tactic requires real skill, how much skill, or if it's just a matter of repetition and blind probability.

The tactic itself involves utilizing quick reflexes to spot an enemy, center them on screen as best as possible, and then zoom into your scope only to then fire as soon as the crosshairs are visible.

Some view it as an exploit. This is due to the fact that the crosshairs essentially "lock on" briefly and allow one to achieve relatively easy one-shot kills. A missed shot usually means one need only quickly repeat. Since it's primarily dependent upon reflexes and simple visual cues, sufficient practice by any player eventually leads to the ability to quick scope repeatedly with a diminishing overall vulnerability while doing so.

The tactic is helpful for snipers while they're on the run, in close quarters, in place of a weaker secondary weapon. However, abuse of the tactic as a primary method of fighting has lead many to view it as the "cheap" preference of noobs. Many who rely on quick scoping have furthered this stereotype by abusing it repeatedly, even going as far as ridiculing those who snipe in more traditional fashions (often calling them "hard scopers" in a derogatory manner).

Man, I was playing Modern Warfare 2 last night. I kept getting killed by this noob who did nothing but run around and quick scope. His hits were like 1 in 10, but he did it so frantically that he got enough kills to annoy us. His team still lost, though.

scope creep

When the limits of a project are expanded by a client

I was going to make a simple web site but my client held a gun to my head and now I'm making a cell phone app that is also a bomb guided gps with and mapped with klm files via the google earth application interface. You need a gun sometimes to defend against scope creep.
