Generic:

1. In pharmaceuticals, a less-expensive copy of a name-brand drug that does almost what the name-brand drug does.
2. In programming, a less-expensive copy of a typed method that does almost what the typed method does.

GIGO:

1. The Alimentary Law of Systems and Automation. What goes in comes out. Interpretation is another thing.
2. Garbage in. Garbage out. (You’d think.) 
3. More often than not, though, Garbage in. Gospel out. 

Business is politics and data are the capital. Whose garbage makes the difference.

GitHub:

1. Another cool place ruined by Microsoft because they made the owners of it into billionaires; which is just not cool for open source fanbois.
2. Popular hangout for open source code until Microsoft bought it; whereby making it unpopular by association.
3. Distributed code repository, which is supposed to make a difference for folks who never used code repositories, anyway.

Global:

Inelegant solution for a problem caused by lack of planning.

Google^®:

Your research staff.

Guild:

1. A professional organizational structure — composed of craftsmen[1] who agreed to take on apprentices for up to seven years of individualized training — that fell out of favor in the 1800s, due, in part, to impatient apprentices who rejected the value of experience and of product quality.
2. The uniquely superior system for training programmers and maintaining superior skills and products in a modern application development environment; given enough certified professionals can be convinced of their current levels of ignorance. 
3. A professional organization of craftsmen who became easy targets for politicians ostensibly advocating for the oppressed apprentice.

Not everyone who apprentices masters. But everyone who masters sat as an apprentice.

Had Microsquish employed a Guild system in their operating systems group, Vista could not have happened.
