"Miserable User" is the name of a hack for Virtual Bulletin message boards. An admin can set a poster to that status to encourage the poster to leave the board.
Here is what happens to a miserable user:
- There is a random 60-120 second delay each time they click on a link.
- 90% of times they have no search engine acccess.
- 75% of the times they get the server too busy error.
If they don't get the server too busy error:
- 50% of the times they may get a blank page
- 30% of the times they may get forwarded to the forum main page
- 20% of the time they may be able to see the page they asked for.

When you throw your hat over the wall, you're committing to doing something. The phrase is derived from what you would do before you climb over a wall - you throw the hat over to the other side, so it doesn't fall off while you are climbing.
"throw your hat over the wall" example:
JFK himself. When he was in office, he stood before the world and promised them a man on the moon within 10 years. Thing is, nobody had started working on a space program at that point. JFK had no data to back up his claims, no insight into the practicality of space travel. But you know what he had?
The man had sac. The man had the sac to stand before the world and say “Yo, yo get this! We’re going to the moon.”

A person's excuse that they flaked out on an agreed-upon meeting or date with you because their phone was not working, not paid, or not charged. These excuses are often belied by the fact that a call to the user results in a normal dial tone, rather than going straight to voicemail.
The dead phone routine usually goes something like this:
1. "Sorry, I got stuck downtown and my phone died."
2. "Hey I just got my phone back up I had to pay it first."

A student at the University of Pennsylvania who transfers into the university's Wharton School of Business after a year at another of the schools, most typically the undergraduate College. Wharton expects a first-year GPA of 3.7 to allow transfer. A student often does this because it is seen as easier to accomplish than to be admitted to Wharton straight out of high school. Wharton has higher SAT and GPA expectations for students than Penn's other schools - the College, Nursing, Engineering, etc.
"Hey Mark, why are you taking such bullshit classes your first semester at Penn?"
"Shh, I'm trying to be a backdoor Whartonite. That's why I'm taking Sociology 001, a writing seminar, American Music History, and Intro to Japanese Culture."
