Definitions!

Tink

/tink/ n. 1. Sound a nail makes when it falls on a metal object. 2. Word overused by New Kids on the Block (specifically Jordan Knight) to generate interest on Twitter.

New Kids on the Block

/loozerz/ n. A group of 5 singers that are complete and utter losers.  They were big with 12 year old girls in the early 90s, and unfortunately, some of those girls haven't grown up (as evidenced by the number of Twitter followers they have).  One of the losers, Donnie Wahlberg, attempted to burn down a hotel in Louisville, KY with a home-made molotov cocktail.  This apparent suicide attempt marked what was thought to be the end of the band.  Their Twitter antics tend to pollute TwitScoop and overshadow more impportant things, such as the second un-retirement of Bret Favre, the death of Dom Deluise, and the general panic over the H1N1 "swine" flu.

Microsoft

/sh-it/ n. A company built up by Bill Gates only to be torn down by the loser Steve Ballmer.

Steve Ballmer

/eediut/ n. An idiot known for being the CEO of the company that released the Vista operating system, getting on stage and yelling "Developers!", throwing furniture, and laying off some 5,000 people at Microsoft.  Commonly referred to "jackass".

Vista

/vis-tuh/ n. 1. A beautiful view. 2. A set of operating systems released by Microsoft that lasted realistically for 8 months before Microsoft announced the next operating system.  During said 8 months, support for Windows XP was extended... twice.
