firmware

noun.

(a) Low-level software that is not usually changed. Firmware is now often stored in EEPROM or Flash memory, so it can be erased and updated.

(b) Historically, software that was stored in read-only chips. Since it could not be changed without a hardware change, it was called firmware.

(c) Commonly used to describe any software on a handheld device.

The firmware in my handheld is corrupted, and now it won't even boot.

My cellphone needed a firmware upgrade for my girlfriend to be able to break through my call-waiting whenever she wanted.

firmware update

Taking another Viagra.

ED is most definitely NOT an issue for me; in fact, da only trouble I have wif my penis's performance is its "jumping to attention" too EASILY and staying hard too LONG, and so I would hardly need any "firmware updates"!
