The following was sent in via Jon. I've personally experienced Lostore and Loostore and a couple of very difficult yet amazing patches. Just love the feeling.
Two of which are pretty much lost forever. One day I will make them again, well, one of them I'm not so sure due to Fucknob. The Matrix-6 definitely suffers from Fucknob, yet... it has no knobs. Go figure.

"during the mid-eighties there was a line of humor books called "sniglets". A sniglet being any word that doesn't appear in the dictionary, but should. the books had words, and pronunciation guides and some of them had cute little illustrations. lately i've been thinking about snigletizing our world of synth. i don't have anywhere good to actually post this stuff, but i figured you'd get a kick out of it.
Danqueue: The mysterious 3 second difference between the german and english versions of a kraftwerk song.
Lostore: any act during the process of saving a patch (fumbling with buttons, forgetting to hit "store" a second time, ect.) which causes the edits you just spend 2 hours working on to be lost.
Loostore: one's feeling of self worth immediately following a lostore.
Duplisynthous: any synth you own whose functions are completely subsumed by a more powerful synth you also own.
Fucknob: a parameter that, when altered, causes your patch to change in a way so that it never sounds quite like it did, even though the parameters value has been reverted. also any global parameter change which can neither be remapped nor turned off.
Knihl: an alteration to a parameter that causes the patch to become inaudible.
DODaist: a person who uses his synths internal effects on every patch.
Bypastist: a person who never uses internal effects.
Burchlay: the alternate universe where buchla designs became the dominant synth paradigm.
presetlude: the ditty played while demoing patches
fourier-1-k: planning your retirement on the assumption that by the time you hit 65 softsynths will be good enough that you can sell your hardware."
