This Silicon Valley Slang site is promising and will only get better with more entries. My faves include:
Banana Problem - What you call something that you don't expect will take a lot of effort for less technically knowledgeable types (i.e. big dumb gorillas) to handle. Usually referred in increments of bananas such as "One Banana" for very easy and "Two Banana" for typically easy. Example: "What's taking them so long to do that upgrade? That's a two banana problem at most."
Double Geeking - Using two computers at the same time. Hence, triple geeking is using three computers at once.
Potato Server - Any server in a network which operates suspiciously slower than it's siblings.
Prairie Dogging - The event of everyone in their cubicles to get out of their chairs, stand up on their toes and peer over the tops of their cubicles to see what is happening. Usually comes from a big fight or something of the same magnitude. You usually just see a lot of other eyes and foreheads if you're one of the "prairie dogs".
Screen-Saver Face - The look one gets when they have been bored to the point of just shutting off their brain.
