  juice
   n.
  
     The weight of a given node in some sort of graph (like a web of trust
     or a relevance-weighted search query). This appears to have been
     generalized from google juice, but may derive from black urban
     slang for power or a respect. Example: "I signed your key, but I
     really don't have the juice to be authoritative."
