56k
The worst way to connect to the Internet. Ever.

Some people have valid reasons for using 56k, such as living out of the range of broadband. Most, however, are just too cheap or stupid to buy something better.

56k
something poor people use to connect to the interweb. It's slow as shit and uses a phone modem. It forces you to do this strange "dialing up" thing before you get on.

I have 56k. I am on welfare. I use AOL.

56k Warning
An internetism that would warn users that what ever they were going to open would slow down their connection, such as a ton of pictures. However, since only 10% of Americans use dial up anymore, the term is of a general use to prenote that there is going to be a lot of content.

56k Warning
A "56k Warning" is a nice way of telling someone they might stand a chance of a black hole opening up inside of their home if they use dialup and try to access a site bogged down with images or videos.

Basically if you're in that 16% of people who use dialup, you need to watch out for these.

DSL / Cable: HAHAHA! These videos have such a high comedic value. I'm going to post them.

Dialup: Hey! Videos with comedic values?! I want to see! *Clicks*

Dialup: Oh noes! I ignored the 56k warning CLEARLY posted!

*Black hole opens up and sucks out the persons living room*

DSL / Cable: lol?
