lite

A scaled-down version of a software product, offering only a limited set of features, often free, otherwise much cheaper than the full product.

This is often used as a way of getting buyers who are interested to pay for the full product when they wish to use the features that the lite version does not support.

Sometimes there is a lite version of a product that even has a free version with more features, but not everybody requires these features.

Blackwood

Popular convention in the game of Bridge to determine if the side has enough controls to play in a slam.

Generally a bid of 4NT asks partner to respond with an artificial bid dependent on the number of aces he holds.

The most popular variation is Key-Card which counts the king of the implied trump suit as a key-card. Other variations allow for more than one key suit in which they king counts as a key card.
1S - 2H - 4NT

4NT is Blackwood. According to which variation you are playing you are asking for aces only or possibly the presence of the king or spades or king of hearts as well as a keycard.

Security Question

An extra question used for setting up an account somewhere in case you forget your password.

However rather than adding extra security like they think they do, they make your account easier to hack because whilst you may have a great unguessable password, these questions are often easy for someone to guess or even know the answer to.

A sensible person would not give an accurate answer to one of these questions and would in fact have an answer that is as hard to guess as a password.
As an extra security question, Brooklyn Beckham, what is your mother's maiden name?:

Wouldn't be Adams by any chance?

Manchasm

A chasm of men, apparently. Or a tale about Mark Foley and things he said, all of which were right (audience, please!), that all he wanted was a detonator and how Colin is a very pretty pussy cat.
Manchasm by Future of the Left, although the word doesn't appear anywhere in the lyrics.
