A shortened version of the words "constant" and/or "constantly."
"You know, now that I actually pay attention to myself, I find myself const correcting his grammar. Kind of annoying, no?"

"I like how they're const blasting the music in the car, even though the speakers are going to blast."

Words you can keep
const is a qualifer that, when applied, will make sure that const variables are read-only. Such attempt to modify a const variable directly will result in a compiler error.
Additionally, const variables mut be initialized upon declaration.
Another use of const is to make functions const. Const functions promises to NOT modify member variables of its' class. The const keyword is placed after the identifier, but before the function body.
const int c{5}; // uniform initilization
// now c is const, any attempt to modify it results in an error
c = 6; // error, c is const
int d;
d = c; // fine, we're not modifing c

// another example:

class A
{

int a;
public:

A(): a(5) {}

void incrementA() { ++a; }

void incrementA2() const { ++a; } // error, incrementA2 is const, and will not modify a
};

T* const this 

The hidden *this pointer that's present in every member function of a class (at least, in C++).
class Something
{

int a,b;
public:

Something(int a, int b): this->a(a), this->b(b)

{}

void doSomething() {} // is translated into "void doSomething(Something* const this) {}"

// The T in "T* const this" is replaced with the class type

friend void doSomething2() {} // is not translated, as it is NOT a member function
};
void doSomething2() {}

you must construct additional pylons 

This is possibly the most annoying phrase in the real-time-strategy game Starcraft.

The basic objective of Starcraft is to make a big army to destroy your opponent, however you have this army-size limit known as 'supply' that can only be increased by building a specific building, and for the alien faction 'protoss', that building is the pylon. So every 2-4 soldiers you build, you most build another pylon to sustain them. If you forget, a voice says "YOU MUST CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL PYLONS", and at that point, you realise that you can't build any more guys until you send a worker to build the pylon, and then wait for the pylon to finish. Then, 4 soldiers later, you will have to build ANOTHER one.

What makes this phrase especially annoying is how often the guy says it if you forget to build them, because soldiers of the protoss race take up so much supply, and their pylons provide such little supply.

Wadsworth Constant 

The Wadsworth Constant is the fundamental idea that the true meaning of a video, conversation, or comment approaches importance after approximately 30% of it has been skipped over.
The above definition, for instance, has 180 characters. After applying the Wadsworth Constant, we skip over 52 characters (29%). The definition now reads,
"the true meaning of a video, conversation, or comment approaches importance after approximately 30% of it has been skipped over."

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
Some grebo passed with Sabbath playing on his stereo.
The Poppies are at no. 17? God, a grebo band in the charts!
They're playing nu-metal now, bloody grebos!
