SysRq is one of the greatest mysteries of all time. SysRq used to have it's own key, but now it has been forced into sharing with Print Screen. SysRq is bitter because of this, and many fondue sets have been tarnished due to SysRq's poor attempts to curry the favour of it's fellow victims Pause Break and Scroll Lock. SysRq is currently working on a novel, however since it has no hands, progress has been slow.

sysRq wants TO EAT YOUR CHILDREN.

SysRq

Together with Scroll Lock, Insert and Pause/Break, SysRq (short for System Request) is one of the atavisms in modern personal computers. Harking back to those optimistic days of innocent enthusiasm when each key had a Purpose, and often a glorious one, these keys now exist merely for backwards compatibility. Yup. Just like Windows.

SysRq - usurp console input from the active program and redirect to the OS shell
Pause - pause running program
Break - stop execution, return to OS shell
Ins - toggle between insert/overwrite text entry modes

I guess Linux still has the "magic SysRq"...

Sysrat

A highly skilled but mildly feral creature who lives somewhere between a sysadmin, a hacker, and a raccoon with root access. Known for fixing impossible problems at 3 a.m., surviving entirely on caffeine, and somehow keeping everything running despite having absolutely no respect for conventional sleep schedules.

Despite their chaotic nature, a sysrat is usually the person you want around when everything breaks.

Smells like piss in here.. shit be careful, the sysrat is awake!

I swear, I have followed all the standard deployment procedures! A love best practices! Stay away from me! Aaaahhhhh

city chicken

A food native to Pittsburgh/Western Pennsylvania in which cubes of pork and/or veal are put on a short, wooden skewer, breaded, then baked and/or fried.

I've heard that city chicken originated during the Great Depression, when folks didn't have enough money to buy full cuts of meat, so they assembled meat scraps on a wooden skewer, creating a make-shift drumstick. Hence the name.

Are yinz havin' city chicken for dinner?

endwarfins

The rush of neurotransmitters and neuropeptides triggered specifically by watching the Seven Dwarfs march home singing "Heigh-Ho" — that particular high of pickaxes, whistling while you work, and communal domestic bliss in a cottage built for men half your height.

I only meant to watch the Heigh-Ho scene for the endwarfins, and then it was two hours later and I'd watched the whole movie.

Endwarfins aren't just a Snow White thing — I get the same hit off the Lollipop Guild in Oz.

caillou

A slang term used to describe a bald person, typically someone who is completely bald or has a closely shaved head. The term is derived from the infamous, hairless kids’ cartoon character of the same name.

Example 1:
“Did you see that caillou over there? His head is reflecting the sun like a disco ball.”
Example 2:
“I think Dave is finally accepting his hair loss. He just went full caillou and shaved the whole thing off.”
