Manual - That thing that has an extra peddle in your car and a stick you need to move around
Automatic - For those too lazy to drive a manual
Cartridge - Something you "lock and load" in an M-16
Battery - The thing you need to put cables on every winter morning to get the clunker started
juice - Ex football hero now jailbird
Charger - Best car Dodge ever made
Vapor - Almost as good as smoke
Analog - A signal you can't get from your old TV anymore without a converter

I'll look into more.
