Quora Thirsting
When someone yearns for something in the form of a question on Quora, without any qualification or perceived purpose that they will take action in pursuing it.
This is when people ask questions about how they can get hired from a company, accepted into a University, get in contact with someone famous, or ask how do something that probably already know the answer to.

If you've never seen an augmented reality app before augmented reality is sort of like having helpful pop ups follow you in real life that are marketed to have a stronger use case than simply looking something up on your phone. They are normally seen through a headset or camera lens.
Google glass has made me incredibly disenchanted with augmented reality apps after having used the device for a long period of time. Every strong social use case out there seems to be a gross violation of privacy.

Company Info Session
When a company pays a university to have an hour to talk to students about why they should work and apply to their company. If the company is well known they normally collect alot of resumes during one of these sessions.
Jack: I went to the Google company info session for the free food, but was so enticed about what they had to say that I decided to give the recruiter my resume. Emma: You're full of shit. You went there like a shameless animal, sweet talking that recruiter like your life depended on it. I could smell the desperation from the other building.

Shopping Season
The time of the semester in which career fairs are held on campuses to recruit engineer or business dev new hires. This is when many students (mostly engineers), go around with a career fair bag and pocket free tshirts, regardless of their interest in said company.
Jay: I scored 14 shirts this year.
Zeeshan: Sick, that's 2 more than last semester's shopping season.
Jay: Yeah man, I didn't even print my resumes. I asked them for their cards and told them I'd email them it.
covfefelord over 9 years agoI/O
A techie way of saying Input/Output.
All you really need to know is that it communicates between an information processing system, such as a computer, and the real world, possibly a human.
This is not to be confused with .IO, which is a tld people use to name their sites with because they are too lazy to negotiate for the .com.
A computer that uses memory-mapped I/O accesses hardware by reading and writing to specific memory locations. This basically means your computer will help you initiate commands with your Macbook's hardware.

Tweeting pictures of one's genetillia and messaging it to someone over Twitter. Coined after former U.S. House Representative Anthony Weiner, who famously tweeted a picture of his privates to a woman he was trying to impress.
Brad: I've been getting so many follows on my twitter account ever since I wrote that Medium article on quitting my job, that I now want to start Weiner Tweeting some of the hot new ladies I've inspired. Charlie: I don't know how you could be capable of writing something so popular but also think something like that would work.
