Y2K

Year 2k,year 2000,a common name for all the difficulties the turn of the century bring to computer users.

Stands for "Year 2000." However, this term is more often used to refer to the "Millenium Bug." This bug is a little creature that lives inside older computers. When the year 2000 rolls around, the little bug will self-destruct, blowing up the computer it was residing in. The chain of explosions across the world will be catastrophic, causing global panamonia and LA riots. Also associated with Y2K is the end of the world, which is without doubt, foreshadowed by the dredded Millenium Bug. So, on January 1, 2000, you'll want to make sure you have at least a 5 year's supply of food and water, roughly half a million dollars in cash, and at least 200 acres of land somewhere in Montana. Of course, it doesn't really matter, considering the world will have already ended anyway. Update: We're in the year 2000 and the world is still going! No Armageddon, no major computer explosions, no nuclear holocaust, not even any L.A. Riots... Wow, I guess Y2K wasn't really that bad after all. (Surprise, surprise.) Sorry to all those of you who bought 200 acres of land in Montana. =)
