Snow Leopard

When you can’t find the disks to install Mac OS X 10.5. Example usage: “There’s snow leopard disks in the box honey, where did you put them?”

iTunes

The selfish version of teamTunes.

AirPort

Where PlaNes take off from.

Time Machine

A request to record the movement duration of a wind-up, miniature China toy placed on the sidewalk of the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Example usage: “Excuse me, could you time ma Chine?”
