2. PowerPoint is just a slide show, and slide shows often come with built-in boredom.
Though the amount of boredom some can pack into a .ppt presentation is impressive, I must admit.

4. I actually think it has an automatic
'Insert boredom' ---> Minor boredom ---> Full boredom ---> Ludicrous boredom button applied to it, and the default is set on 'ludicrous boredom with random funny transitions.' :boring: :boring:

6. Depends on the context.

It could mean participation, precipitation, powerpoint, precipitate...

Or, for the big news of today, it could mean Plunge Protection Team - the people who are supposed to prevent the stock market from plunging rapidly. Also known as the Working Group on Financial Markets.

14. Profound Personal Trauma
The kind that makes you sit on your bed with a bottle of tequila and prescription meds. One shot, swallow a pill. Another shot, another pill. Rinse. Repeat.

Don't ask me how I know...
