powerpop 

Style of music that employs rock and roll/punk elements and an emotional undertone in its songs. Basically combines Beatle song content/jangly guitars with Johnny Thunders-esque pace and riffs.

Powerpop reached its creative peak during the late 1970's & early 1980's. Regardless of what psuedo-scene girls say...it has nothing to do with hellogoodye and everything to do with 20/20, The Knack, The Raspberries, The Nerves, etc.

Hellogoodybe IS NOT powerpop...but the Nerves are.

A high-energy form of music. It makes you want to start dancing, but includes real instruments, meaning, and all of the general emo-essentials. Followed closely by over-preppy girls and anybody scene.

powerpointless 

A long-drawn corporate presentation full of jargon and acronyms that doesn't make any point.

Dave - Damn, I dozed off in the middle of the presentation, What'd I miss?

Matt - Nothing much, it was pretty much powerpointless.

PowerPoint Karaoke 

When the presenter of a PowerPoint presentation is reading straight off the slide and not expanding on what is written.

"She's just reading straight off the slide! She may as well let us read it rather than read it out to us - it's PowerPoint Karaoke, I tells ya!"

powerpoint

A heinous, but useful microsoft tool for putting together presentations of slides/viewgraphs.
This little piece of sh -- I mean, software comes with MS Office and it features creepy templates and clipart, your helpful friend Clippit and strategic incompatibilities with previous versions of itself.
It masquerades as a graphics program, but cannot touch Adobe in any way shape or form, so it is instead as annoyingly incompatible with Adobe as possible.
Also, it will HOG all your SWAP SPACE.
Bastard.

Person: Instead of doing real technical work, I spent all day making powerpoint slides out of my results, only to have the software freeze my computer after a few hours.
