I'm pulling together a list of the most interesting words/phrases/memes to have sprung forth from the bitcoin community (and mostly within this forum)... please add those I have surely missed (esp with original sources)...
"Zhou-tongued"

Meaning: To be wiped out, have a position liquidated, lose everything.
Example: "shit, I went all in long at 5:1 leverage, then bad news came out of China and the spot dropped 200 points, wipeout, I've been completely fucking zhou tonged, my wife's gonna kill me"
"The new wealthy elite"

"Two more weeks"
Genesis: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1314335

Meaning: Now infamous phrase meaning anything but two weeks, read "We hope to ship in maybe two weeks" as "You may receive something vaguely related to your order in a year, or so". Born during the Butterfly Labs mining hardware shipping-delay-debacle.
