Grimstallation: /Grim-staw-lay-shun/ Since having his computer installed with the latest upgrade, Tom couldn’t believe how slow it was.

Etymology: Grim(unfavourable, not good) + Installation(a set up of a program added to a computer) = Grimstallation Created by: TJayzz.

Tom no doubt grimbled about that mess.splendiction, 2009-02-23: 21:27:00
Great word!
Webstuck: /web stuk/ It takes so long for some embedded files, they should call them inbedded files, for they take all night! ET hated spyware, and wished they made spryware, a program for nimble and quick downloads. ET didn’t call it a web stack, he called it a webstuck! While waiting for his software on demand to download, ET not only had time to phone home, but every one on his home planet! Etymology: WEBSTUCK is a play on WEB STACK, Web stack is the term used to refer to software stacks in Web development environments. The stack of software, mainly comprised of open source software, will contain an operating system, Web server, database server, and programming language. One of the most most well-known web stacks is LAMP.
Let us hope it will enlighten our way! Created by: silveryaspen.

Beeee good!
Affordapatchee: /aff ord a pat chee/ He had his reservations. After all, this new upgrade, while inexpensive (actually free) could cost him his whole computer system. It would affect his computer Manitouls, he’d be shaman his ancestors. It was definitely accessible and affordapatchee, but it tended to slow down his hard drive, took lots of memory and stalled out his access to the Home Shopping Network and his daily dose of Verbomtomy! No good could come from that…it would be Totem bedlam. Using his Inuituition and wearing his Bow Tie and his Arrow shirt,he decided that he would buy the patch anyway…if his system crashed, he could always Sioux the manufacturers! Etymology: Fort Apache (John Ford movie, starring John Wayne as a commander at Fort Apache, who has sympathy for Cochese and his Native followers. He is replaced (upgraded as it were) by Henry Fonda, who is not so liberal and whose arrogance causes the Natives to uprise and give the Fort trouble…relationships have to be repaired) & Afford ( be the cause or source of;be able to spare or give up) & Patch (a short set of commands to correct a bug in a computer program;a connection intended to be used for a limited time) Created by: Nosila.
