F.S.D. cover up 

A F.S.D. who starts a generic "hardcore band" so that they feel they have a right to call anyone F.S.D.

Will - That's a pretty obnoxious bow you have in your hair.

Liz - Yeah, but I like it :D

Will - Ya know, it's pretty F.S.D.

Liz - Ya know, not only are you THE biggest asshole I know, but you're also the biggest F.S.D. cover up EVER! So why don't you go suck off the people at Music at the Mall so you can play up there again. Cuz your music sure as hell didn't get you in up there.

coder's block 

A usually temporary psychological inability to begin or continue writing code / programming.

I just can't figure out how to approach this new programming project. Should I use PHP? Should I build it myself or look for some libraries I can use? I think I have coder's block.

I've been struggling with coder's block for the past few weeks, and after staring blankly all day at some really ugly code I wrote a while back that uses PHP, MySQL, and regex, it finally started clicking with me again and I was able to update it. I got it back now, baby!

Cover-suckered

When you buy a book (or really anything) based solely on a cool cover but the book itself sucks.

"Hey, Ken, how'd you like that BREAKING DAWN Twilight book?"

"Well, Bob, it sort of sucked hard. No girl named Dawn and no BDSM at all. I got totally fucking cover-suckered."

Cover Shart

When a band does a cover of a previously great song. But does it so terribly that it ruins the old version.

I used to love Metallica's song "One", but since Korn did a cover of it, I can't listen to it without practically crying. A prime example of Cover Shart.
