If you go up to certain 90s-era Williams pinball machine (you know, the
insanely awesome ones), put an operators' key into the front and swung out the front part with the coin slots, the following message will flash on the dot-matrix scoreboard:
COIN DOOR INTERLOCK DISABLES HIGH POWER
I always thought there was a kind of poetry to those words. The syllables are 1,1,3,3,1,2, the stresses: cOIn dOOr INterlock disAbles HIgh POWer. I love it so much that I decided my development blog will go by that name.
This page discusses the origin of the term.
