To don one's personal technology for the day. This usually involves strapping/ clipping/ pocketing an array of mobile phones, PDA's, iPods, GPS's, cameras, etc.
Martin: Dude, are you ready to go yet?
John: Hold on, I've just gotta tech up, then I'm out the door.

Tech 'em up 

When an IT professional using an array of mediums to communicate, most commonly, conference calls or emails containing technical jargon a normal or intellectually inferior employee or client won’t understand.
Don’t be fooled by imitators, techups are delivered at the highest level of IT from only the highest level of engineers.
"Dude, he's a jabroni just tech 'em up!"

"Dude, the guys in that NOC are Busch league, just tech 'em up!"

"Dude, he doesn’t know shit- Tech his ass up"

"Dude, you should have heard them on the bridge, I started teching them up and their network guys went silent."

Tim asks:
"Mike, what should I tell this guy, we reloaded his router by accident"

Mike replies:
"Tim, just tech 'em up!"

Tim replies:
Tech 'em up!? How!?

Mike replies:
You know?! Just say a bunch of IT acronyms like BGP,OSPF,TCP IP,EIGRP spanning tree, STFU, I know more than you. You just been teched up now get the fukk out of here. Oh yeah, ISIS and pim sparse mode too.

The user will announce his compliance via spoken word or by nodding his head dismally and walk away with headache. Best thing about an old fashioned techup is the aforementioned user will never ask you a question again.

Tim:
Perfect, thanks Mike!

Mike:

Upper Cape Tech 

A school right next to the Cape Cod Canal. Grades 9-12, a tade school that includes trades such as plumbing, electrical, automotive, landscaping, etc...

Current classese are crazy (2009-2012). The class of 2009 and 2010 always seem to have some type of notorious lesbian scandal going on within it. Good times, crazy times, our times.
There's so much drama between all the classes at Upper Cape Tech

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!

Hate Sink 

A person you hate intensely not because they deserve such hatred but because they serve as a focus for your general hatred. A healthy way to dispense with excess animosity.
Jake's not really that big an asshole. He just serves as my hate sink.
