Following up on an earlier post, there's a term used at work called "NSN", which means National Stock Number. My senior engineer says "NSN number", and it kills me. He also uses the phrase "TDP package", which refers to a Tech Data Package package. #language

Remember when you used to be able to call a person and just leave a message on their answering machine/voicemail? Nowadays, that stupid cyborg lady says something about leaving a callback number and pressing some numbers to review your message. What's with that? It used to be just with cell phones, but now it's every phone. It's probably yet another byproduct of Microsofting.
Remember when SUVs used to be called Jeeps? Yep that's right. There was once a time when Jeep was the only car company that made anything that was a cross between a truck and a minivan, so when other car companies started making similar vehicles, we called them Jeeps. #technology

There's a guy where I work named Joe Minus. He's a Major in the Army. Thus his name is Major Minus. Why do funny things happen? #sociology
