green screen

Antiquated computer system, most commonly the AS400. The monitor showed a black background with green text.

Man, I'm sure glad we got rid of those green screens.

widget

Derived from a computer programming term, "widget" refers to a virtual object with default settings. In the context of Internet dating, a widget is a man or woman known through his or her on-line profile. A widget remains a widget even when real names have been exchanged. After several in-person meetings, a widget can be referred to by his or her actual name.

So, have you hooked up with any widgets lately?

catfish

At either end of the social spectrum, there lies a leisure class. A catfish is a person who simultaneously lives in both--for example, eating corn dogs in a Porsche, or drinking champagne while homeless.

Look at that dirty rock climber with a Makers and soda in a crystal tumbler--what a catfish!
