ROM

Literally: Read Only Memory.
ROMs are games that you can use on downloaded emulators. These games are usually licensed. A lot of good ROMs (unpopular games, games exclusively released in Japan) can be quite hard to find, knowing how most sites give you a ton of bullshit and forced voting, but no ROMs. Emulation and ROMs are the only way I have access to great Japanese SNES games such as Super Wrestle Angels, YuuYuu Hakusho Tokubetuhen, Sanrio World Smash Ball!, and Super Puyo Puyo 2 Remix.

I opened my Snes9x, opened the Super Wrestle Angels ROM, and began to play.

ROM

Read Only Memory derivative. Office speak (IT slang) for people who will never "get it". Like a ROM chip you can't write to, they cannot have new thoughts, they only spew back what has been programmed into them. Unable to write to their brain.

Bob: I need more memory, but I can't afford a hard drive right now so I am just gonna download a bunch of my files to a CD.

1) Stands for read-only memory, a type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices.
2) Nintendo's worst enemy, even worser than Bowser. They will sue any ROM site if they are capable to take their owners to court.

ROM

It's a technical term that stands for really old mammaries.

Spike Jonez was flashin' ROM all over the place in that Jackass 2 movie.

Woah, those ROM look like they're full of powdered milk.
