Devil's Dictionary

Bokeh (unknown pronunciation) - That blurry stuff behind the person you just took a photo of.

Yeah. Besides, Valium works much better for In-Body Stabilization :)

Adobe RGB: What you use when you want your shots to look like they're made out of clay.

Depth of Field Preview: Device that tells you how deep the field of grass, hay, or flowers is you're about to take a photo of. Measures from fence to fence, usually in meters (Pentax reads in feet).

Exposure Bracketing: When taking a shot of a model, shows you what she would look like without a shirt on and also with a coat on. Can be adjusted to remove bra/add parka, etc.

Photoshop: When you mess up a photo really bad, this is where you go to buy one you can call your own.
