| − | "[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=up%20dog Updog]" refers to a light-hearted {{w|practical joke}} in which the perpetrator casually uses the neologism 'updog' in a sentence ("Hey, I'm going to get some updog, you want any?"). The unsuspecting listener is expected to be curious about the meaning of the neologism and ask the perpetrator its meaning, specifically in the format "What's 'updog'?", inadvertently invoking the highly casual greeting of "What's up, dawg?". The perpetrator then draws attention to this by replying along the lines of "Not much, you?", causing the target to realize the foolish thing they just said. Other neologisms used in the context of this joke include 'updoc', 'snoo', 'samatta | + | "[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=up%20dog Updog]" refers to a light-hearted {{w|practical joke}} in which the perpetrator casually uses the neologism 'updog' in a sentence ("Hey, I'm going to get some updog, you want any?").

In the title text there is a joke on {{w|lambda calculus}}, where ''lam''bda is changed to ''SHAM''bda. Lambda calculus is an area of mathematical logic and theoretical computer science. It is a formal language which can express computation and evaluation. It is Turing Complete, which means it can do any computation which can be executed by a computer. However, it is very simple, consisting only of two primitive notions: ''abstraction'', which is forming a unary function (a function that takes one argument) and ''application'' which is applying a function to an input value. For example, a function which squares a given number can be written λx.x². Here the ''λ'' indicates an abstraction (hence the name ''lambda calculus''), the ''x'' is the input value and the output is ''x²''. As an example of application, if we apply this function to 5, we get (λx.x²)(5) = 5² = 25. The title text makes fun of this by inserting the word "Sham" into the phrase, a word used to describe a trick or con; essentially, it denies that such calculus is useful or valid. | In the title text there is a joke on {{w|lambda calculus}}, where ''lam''bda is changed to ''SHAM''bda.
