"Cock" and other jargon

Beestie · 02-09-2009, 07:45 PM

My wife used to do network troubleshooting which included responding to calls from mgt execs having PC troubles.

Certain tickets got closed with a cryptic PICNIC written on them.

Problem In Chair Not In Computer. :-)

Other times she would need to "call down to the IT dept" to get some "expert advice" and would identify the problem as an ID TEN T."

This makes more sense if you substitute 10 in place of TEN and make it one word: ID10T. :-)

I use to do that kind of work, too. We use to say we would accept the product back if they labeled it TFSTO. (Too fucking stupid to own.)

We have an acronym for new skiers/boarders at the ski hill where I work called LOFT. Stands for lack of fuckin talent and since it's meaning is only known to employees, we use it openly around customers. It's amazing how many people that come out have no sense of balance or coordination leaving them with no business being on one board or two.

How are you supposed to learn without actually doing it? Were you born knowing how to ski?

Bullitt must have been born here.

Actually, I am always kind of amused when people think because I live in Colorado I must ski. I use to ski when I was a kid, but I haven't in about 15 years. I tried learning to snowboard, once, but it is expensive, so I haven't gone since.

Nah was born in a coastal town in Southern California but I've been skiing since I was about 5. LOFT is used for people who just don't have the coordination abilities to learn how to ski. People are born with talent in some areas and sometimes significantly lacking in others. I've tried snowboarding too and I can say for certain that I have a significant amount of LOFT in that sport.

I am one of two people I know who have total LOFT on a bicycle.
My husband is the other one.
