    iPlot. Behold! :D It's the brand new Apple-backed app to tell you the plot of a book, as soon as you pick it up off the shelf in the bookstore!!! :D

    And this worked just fine for about 5 seconds, until someone pointed out that the back-cover blurb was exactly for that.

    So, Apple spent $50 million dollars for nothing. In other words, a normal day for the Fruity Firm.

    iFlop. Apple does something boneheaded, but the Apple fanbois don't care, and other people give less than a stuff. So Apple gets away with it. As usual.

    iNod. Yet another app that lets you go off to the Land of Nod for about 30 minutes. Ideal for work.

    iGod. App that takes things to their logical conclusion by giving Apple god-like powers -- oh, wait. :(

    iFad. What an Apple product is these days.

    iLad.
    The average age of an Apple fanboi.

    iWad.
    What you need to buy an Apple product these days.

    iSad.
    What you would feel like after buying an Apple product these days...

    (Sorry, I know this is like shooting fish in a barrel) ;)

    Let's resurrect this thread ... ;)

    Unicycle. A university for teaching people about both cycles and sickles. Perfect for Communist countries.

    Bicycle. Abandoning Communism. This is what the Russian Soviet Party thought that Freddie Mercury was singing about: "Bye, sickle! Bye, sickle!"

    There was a minor diplomatic stink about it.

    Tricycle. To combat the above, the Soviet Party launched its official party, inviting people from western countries to "try sickle". And once they were sucked in, they were immediately shipped off to a gulag. :twisted:

    And zhat vill teach you to make fun ov zhe Great Socialist Revolution, you dirty consumerist vestern pig, you!

    Trimester - A concept in project management related to "fail fast" process where by failing fast, developers learn what won't work and can quickly move on to a better approach. The first trimester is thus dedicated to trying to make a lot of mess as quickly as possible, so that the second and third trimesters can be used to learn from the mistakes of the first and improve the final product.

    Trident - there are two definitions of this ancient word:
    1. Having only three teeth;
    2. Trying out new dentures.

    Worthleast. When something is even less than "worthless".

    Roll. The less popular half-cousin of Rock.

    Refridge-deezer. A refrigerator/freezer combo. ;)

    Near-fetched. Believable (as opposed to "far-fetched" = "not believable").

    Fondon't. For people who don't like fondue. (Also possible: Fondon'tknow. I've never had a fondue. How would I know if I like it or not?)

    Chalant. Antsy and hyper (as opposed to "nonchalant", i.e. "relaxed and calm").

    M. Just one candy from a pack of M&Ms.
