Very stylish anime set in a future where the boundaries between the virtual and real worlds are blurred, and hence the concept of existence too.
In this world where bodies are interchangable you are generally considered a person if you have a "ghost line"; special code that cannot be artifically created.
The comic discussed different kinds of intelligence and had a fair amount of political commentary. The final appendix opened the very real idea that major Kusanagi, the lead role, must have died along time ago by being copied.
Heavily influenced by Bladerunner, the first ever Cyberpunk novel and arguably the first ever science fiction novel.

Get the Ghost in the Shell mug.Verb; to have a quick grumble, meaning to have a quick wank.
Grumbling is often done hunched over the keyboard, or for the serious old schooler, with a grumble-mag.

My mate won't stop grumbling, his room, sheets, everything smell of Chicken and Mushroom Pot Noodle.

Get the Grumble mug.Monkey's near rhyming slang for skunk: strong marijuana buds.
Good monkey has little crystals of pollen falling from it. The pollen sticks to plastic, so you shouldn't really store it in baggies.

Get the monkey mug.Aw, man. I fell asleep in a meeting with the director today, I so don't know how I didn't get sacked. It was a total Kevin Spacey.

Get the Kevin Spacey mug.The dangerous, heady combination of taking one too many E whilst drinking heavily.
When you're so high that eating something, smoking a joint or drinking water will be of no help whatsoever.
Can, of course apply to other drugs, usually speedy ones.

Get the muntered mug.1. International Business Machines
2. Big Blue
The creators of the BIOS system most computers are based around. Unfortunately arrogant enough to publish their BIOS code in a context akin to saying, "Look, this is how it's done. If you do it in a similar way we'll know where you got it from."
Phoenix Technologies where the first to successfully cheat the challenge; one team of scientists simply worked directly on the IBM BIOS and made an exhaustive table of commands and responses, another team who had no knowledge of IBMs existing code were given the table to write a new BIOS.
This is how IBM lost their monopoly on PC design, how the first buyers of Phoenix BIOS, Compaq placed themselves on the market, and generally a nice example of David and Goliath.

The IBM BIOS standard becoming ripped off has both advanced compatibility and held back the market at once, but at least it's basically open-source.

Get the IBM mug.The name of a boutique in Los Angeles that became so infamous that it became a dictionary word, although I've yet to find it in a dictionary.
A book by Bret Easton Ellis about Victor, a delsuional youth who can't work what's going on or where he is. Essentially a made up world of glamor. The title is based around the idea of fake becoming reality, a bit like MTV. Naturally Victor's been on MTV, trouble is he doesn't seem to know when he's on it.
Awesome. Cryptic. Has been called the book of the 90s.
