Term of the Day: moved to Atlanta
 

(slang) A reference to Web pages that disappear and leave only "404 File Not Found" errors in their place. The reference comes from the telephone area code of Atlanta, Georgia, which is 404. Web pages that produce 404 errors are said to have "moved to Atlanta."

I'm not entirely sure how they came into existance, but I have a set of magnetic poetry from whatis.com. It has lots of good tech terms, in addition to the standard pronouns, verbs, etc...
