**Jargon Watch** _By Gareth Branwyn_
**Arrow Shooters**
The visionaries in an organization who come up with ideas and trace their far-reaching trajectories.
**Road Builders**
The people in an organization who come along behind the arrow shooters and pave the way for profitable applications.
**Image Aspirations**
Plastic surgery jargon for the amount and type of bodily cosmetic changes one is willing to pay for. A digital imaging system is used to simulate the image aspirations of a potential client and to generate a price list for the various desired body modifications.
**Jargonaut**
A person who coins a piece of net slang or jargon with the express purpose of trying to get it into Jargon Watch. (This word was chosen during an impromptu contest run on alt.wired to coin such a term.)
**Kodak Courage**
An extra dose of courage and the tendency to go beyond one's usual physical limits when being filmed or photographed (from action sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, and extreme skiing).
**Send Storm**
A deluge of private chat messages while one is trying to do something else online. "Sorry, I'm currently the victim of a send storm. I'll be with you in a moment." On AOL, this is called "being IMed to death" (IM stands for Instant Message, AOL's private chat feature).
**Smart Seats**
The seats found in VR entertainment venues that are equipped with motion bases and wired to respond to actions on the computer screen.
**Toy Value**
Useless gewgaws in a program or product. "The animation screens in this backup program may have some toy value, but they slow everything down to a crawl."
