reticulating splines 

Nonsense technobabble used in a production context.

Reticulating splines started off as an in-joke at Maxis and grew to fame with the widespread popularity of The Sims. While it does have a "real" meaning, this definition isn't actually correct in the context of its use. It's really a programming joke.

Reticulating splines is essentially filler. Don't want to describe what's holding up the program? It's reticulating splines. Why isn't the Internet working? The splines aren't reticulated. Heck, don't want to explain your calculus assignment? We're reticulating splines this week.

reticulating splines 

v.
A necessary computation performed by numerous Maxis Sim games. Content simply cannot be generated without meticulous reticulation.

See: reticulatingsplines on ytmnd for further information.
I just generated a random map, but had to wait for the game to finish reticulating splines.

Salinas swerve 

A unexpected traffic manuver done in Salinas Calif. where as a driver swerves suddenly to avoid any large plastic bag in the streets out of fear of running over a body. This fear is substantiated by the high regard for human life seen in Salnas.

A very beautiful girl , who maybe sad but never shows it. Her smile will brighten your day and she will always be there for anyone in need. Saline is the type of girl who fights for what she loves , don’t ever let her leave your life that would be the dumbest thing anyone can ever do. She maybe a drama queen and stress you out but you will never find a girl like her.
Look at saline smile
