1. intarnet How a non-technical IT manager pronounces intranet or Internet in order to instill confidence in his or her technical staff, but without wishing to reveal a lack of knowledge or understanding, thereby revealing a lack of understanding and knowledge. Manager: "We need to punch up our intarnet. What do you think of adding javascript?" Non-management IT worker: "Great idea. If we italicize it, it will really punch things up. I think your phone is ringing."
This is urban slang? 1. Ethernet 1) A trademark for a LAN protocol. 2) A local area network first described by Metcalfe & Boggs of Xerox PARC in 1976. Specified by DEC, Intel and XEROX (DIX) as IEEE 802.3 and now recognised as the industry standard. Data is broken into packets and each one is transmitted using the CSMA/CD algorithm until it arrives at the destination without colliding with any other packet. The first contention slot after a transmission is reserved for an acknowledge packet. A node is either transmitting or receiving at any instant. The bandwidth is about 10 Mbit/s. Disk-Ethernet-Disk transfer rate with TCP/IP is typically 30 kilobyte per second. Version 2 specifies that collision detect of the transceiver must be activated during the inter-packet gap and that when transmission finishes, the differential transmit lines are driven to 0V (half step). It also specifies some network management functions such as reporting collisions, retries and deferrals. Ethernet cables are classified as "XbaseY", e.g. 10base5, where X is the data rate in Mbps, "base" means "baseband" (as opposed to radio frequency) and Y is the category of cabling. The original cable was 10base5 ("full spec"), others are 10base2 ("thinnet") and 10baseT ("twisted pair") which is now (1998) very common. 100baseT ("Fast Ethernet") is also increasingly common. Person 1: "What the heck, my Internet won't work!" Person 2: "Dude, that's because your ethernet cable is unplugged!"

A good few of us know what merkin means... Well, an RA here has the last name Merkin and I don't think she knows what her name means, so I've been so tempted to tell her but I can't. I've told a few others and whenever we see her we yell out Merkin and I laugh. Oh what a name (if you don't know what it means, look it up).
I've been using Urbandictionary.com for a while now. It's invaluable to figure out what the kiddies are talking about these days.
