When you pull up on a N64 cartridge while playing without pulling it too much is cartridge tilting. Many things can happen. Note: It can be done by an emulator by loading a game you wont tilt, then load a game you do want to tilt. Same shit will happen. Sometimes, it will crash.
For example:

The sound will become staticy.

Glitch-like things will happen.

When cartridge tilting Goldeneye, the characters will turn into turning human balls (well not exactly).

When you cartridge tilt Yoshi Story in the beginning, the letters will change weirdly, and their eyes sometimes look like they're hypnotized.

homebrew cartridge

A cartridge containing flash memory that enables unsigned code or ROMs to be run on a game console. Hard to find because the ESA thinks it encourages piracy.

When my GBA has a homebrew cartridge, it can play 90 minutes of stereo music per 32MB ROM, play 5 minutes of video in 16MB, and store 100 photos in 4MB, as well as play 8-bit NES games.

Cartridge Bomb

The making of a small explosive with shrapnel, made by taking a small, depleted CO2 cartridge, widening the neck opening with a nail and filling it with black powder while tapping it LIGHTLY. A green fuse is then placed into the neck. If constructed correctly, it can have an explosion the size of an M80 or bigger, with shrapnel.

You man, we couldn't find any M80s for old lady Pfifers mailbox, so we made some cartridge bombs!

Boffin

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.

According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.

I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
