A New Word
To be added to the New Words page later on today when I'm not so pressed.
Retardisize - when a computer application goes into convulsions while trying to execute some sort of wacky user command or an internal software error. Mostly likely confined to Microsoft's "fine" (meaning they should be fined for selling it) software but it also happens with other stuff. Like when iTunes tries to play an .mov file or mpeg. Just doesn't work and starts chunking electro-blasts of interference type sounds while struggling to cope with the bad data its chewing on.
