cyberculture research question

Hello, I am a graduate student at Western Kentucky University studying cyberculture. What are some computer-technology-specific jargon that you or others have used while conversing with other computer-literate individuals (ex. tweeking, surfing, overclocking, etc.). Thanks in advance for your help.

mod\modded - modify\modified

mobo - motherboard

board - motherboard

mips\mibs - Megabits per second

Crackberry - Blackberry wireless device (because users are addicted to these damn things)
