Denial Of Service Attack (DoS)

  

A cyberattack by which access to online sites and networks is restricted from legitimate users. Kinda like when your boss sets up a firewall around Facebook. Or when your Cheesecake Factory server just won't bring you water. Then, when she finally does, she spills it on you (possibly intentionally, depending on your behavior).
