FSA Wifi

Definition

A hyperbolically terrible WiFi connection so bad it apparently affects thousands worldwide, though likely named after one specific institution's nightmare network. It's the kind of internet that makes you question whether carrier pigeons might be faster. The digital equivalent of watching paint dry, except the paint keeps buffering.

Example Usage

ROM

Read-Only Memory, the permanent storage chip in your computer that holds essential instructions like the BIOS and can't be easily modified—it's the tattoo of computer memory.
