Parity Errors
/per-ə-tē er-ərz/
pl.n. Little lapses of attention or (in more severe cases) consciousness, usually brought on by having spent all night and most of the next day hacking.
"I need to go home and crash; I'm starting to get a lot of parity errors."
Derives from a relatively common but nearly always correctable transient error in RAM hardware.
