Ok, great, now I can add a couple more words to my vocab. That is if they'll stick this time after surely looking them up unknown number of times in the past.

We have -

RUIM: Removable User Identity Module
(which incidentally stands for bad and ruined in Portuguese http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ruim)

And pedantic:
1. ostentatious in one's learning.
2. overly concerned with minute details or formalisms, esp. in teaching.

btw- I don't feel so bad about "pedantic" seeing it wasn't in a couple dictionaries and webster is a bit off. lol
Dictionary.com is my new source as of right now...
