Someone or something that is boring, uninspiring, lacking, or lame. Comes from the math/physics term null vector, the vector whose components are all equal to 0 (e.g. 0i + 0j + 0k). The null vector is movement in no direction--a lack of movement--hence its use to describe things that are not moving or inspiring. Can describe people, events, works of art, courses, etc.
"He's so lame. He's such a null vector."
"Good thing you cut school. The assembly was a null vector."

Thrust Vectoring is a thing used on modern fighters for extra manuverability. In TV(Thrust Vec), the two nozzels for the after burner are made into the controls for the aircraft so they move with the alerons and the elevators. The first aircraft to use thrust vec was the Russian Su-37 "Terminator", however, when the Americans saw thrust vec on the Russian planes, they "borrowed" the idea, then, they took all the credit for being the first to have it even though they weren't. The ability of thrust vec greatly increses the mobility of the aircraft, alowing it to be able to do manuvers other planes can only dream of doing.

In cryptography, an initialization vector (IV) is a block of bits that is required to allow a stream cipher or a block cipher to be executed in any of several streaming modes of operation to produce a unique stream independent from other streams produced by the same encryption key, without having to go through a (usually lengthy) re-keying process.
IV's are commonly referred to in wireless network hacking, more specifically WEP hacking, where a hacker fakes association with a wireless access point and generates IV's that are used to crack the WEP key of the network.

Tiffany was caught off guard by Johnnys finishing move. She had never seen quite an impressive nectar vector and spent extra time in cleanup.

A Vector Flexor is a modified wireframe icosohederon toy, built with flexable strut connectors. The removal of 6 ballast that complete an icosohedron cause the entity to synergize, lossening it's structure and allowing it to become fold-able. It forms into many geometric objects, veiwed in 2 and 3 dimensions
This flexability allows for imagination stimulation as well as a relaxing place to ponder for a spell.
Buckminster Fuller, recognized as fabricator of the Fullerene, came across this figure while confering about synergetic thinking. He became intrigued with the balance that allow the model to swing to and fro and named it the Jitter Bug. aka Bucky's Jitter Bug

She collapsed her Vector Flexor into an octohedren.
Thomas can twist his Vector Flexor into a large triangle.
