Pinged
The earliest stage of alcohol consumption, when one is just barely aware of the chemical's interaction with the brain, but not buzzed yet. As close to sober as possible, but not 100%. Usually occurs within the first couple drinks, but it varies from person to person.
One might think they are pinged after a few swigs of a drink, not because the alcohol is actually affecting their brain, but because they think they should be feeling something already. This is a placebo effect, and causes people to loosen up for no apparent reason and others to call them lightweights.
Pinged is often the only state where one can be confident they are below the drink-drive limit.

Example:
Bob: How much you had?
Dweezil: Just two beers, I'm still cool to drive.
Bob: You sure? You're not even buzzed yet?
Dweezil: Nah, just pinged.

The time it takes for a network packet to leave your computer, go to another one, and return. Lower = better. Can also be a source of gloating in network games. Typically measured in milliseconds.
Example:
"Dude, your ping is 300. Get the hell off my server before I boot you!"
"Ha ha, lowest ping!"
