A form of the word "cable" used on networks such as ShadowLink (IRC) originally by a member known as SparcDr, who himself lost too many brain cells in early life. Cabl can be used in a question, in a statement, and with descriptive traits such as color or texture. Cabl merely describes a dumbed down version of the word cable, usually used when discussion of AV connectors and the internet come into play.
I went to Frys to get some cabl for my cat-6 switch.
Is that cabl hanging around your neck?
My DSL trumps your cabl!
Wow your cabl is lame.
Why did you get that small piece of cabl when you could had gotten a big piece of cabl for the same price?
Omghax my cabl feels like cabl!

Hooked the cables to 

Phrase that is a euphemism for someone controlling, brainwashing or having some type of powerful influence over another person. Phrase can be either stated in a jokingly manner or dead serious.
Ever since Johnny began seeing Betsy, a master manipulator, he had become a different person. He became very distant and standoffish towards all of his friends. I believe old girl done went and hooked the cables to our poor dumb friend. I guess the power of pussy is a real thing.

Time Warner Cable

Time Warner Cable is the embodiment of AIDS, ebola, mad cow disease, the nanjing rapes, the holocaust, and every venereal disease known to mankind. It is the most satanic internet service provider in existence and its sole purpose is to FUCK you in the ASS until you cry from the incessant packet loss that they refuse to fix because they're greedy bitches that only want your money.
Fuck Time Warner Cable, bunch of assholes. I have so shitty of an internet connection that I think by comparison getting pegged by a chainsaw would feel better than suffering through this shit.

death cable 

An electrical cable with a wall plug on one end and exposed wires on the other. Called a death cable because if you touch the exposed wires the electricity will kill you.
John: "Did you hear about Henry? He made a death cable, touched it, and died."
Sam: "What an idiot."

suicide cable 

A simple electrical cord that has prongs on both ends. Thus, if you plug one end in to a live outlet, the exposed prongs are energized and dangerous.

Such a device is actually useful, for example, to "inject" power into a dead circuit from a generator. However, due to the inherent safety issues, you generally can't find them for purchase, nor would a licensed electrician ever provide you with one. Thus, do-it-yourself handymen are left to splice together their own version of this device (probably making them unsafer).
When the hurricane hit and the power went out, I fired up the generator and jacked it in to the outlet in my garage with a suicide cable; at least I was able to run a few lights and my refrigerator.

cable creep 

The slow, monthly increase of cable television charges in amounts small enough for the customer to tend to ignore, but later result in significant overall increases.
A year ago, my cable bill was $88/month and now it's $117. I hate cable creep.

A few bucks in cable creep and now my bill is 30% higher than a year ago.

My monthly cable crept from $55 to $69 in less than one year.
