I used to work in a machine sales company and use to swop the words around on these phases like 'envelope the push' to see if I am being listened to. If I got an 'Umm', I knew that I was 'walling to the talk'. I now work in a Precision Machining company and if I swop the words around, the engineers think I've gone potty.
I hate when people say "tweak" or "massage" in regards to editing something. It sort of makes me squeamish!
The question "what keeps you up at night" Or the condescending "work smarter, not harder", which implies that I am both stupid and lazy, but if I listen to the speaker he can fix the stupid part. scott or, excuse me, Scott Lee, PE
Got that line once from a used car dealer before I took a truck for a test drive. It died in the middle of an intersection during the drive and wouldn't start again. I left it there, walked back to the dealer, got in my car, and left.
Never be stuck for a technical expression again with the instant buzzword generator. Just pick a word from each column and hey-presto some technical jargon! Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 0 integrated management options 1 total organisational flexibility 2 systematised monitored capability 3 parallel reciprocal mobility 4 functional digital programming 5 responsive logic concept 6 optical transitional time-phase 7 synchronised incremental projection 8 compatible thrid-generation hardware 9 balanced policy contingency [h=2][SIZE=+1]Detailed Instructions[/SIZE][/h] Simply select a word from each column and add them to a sentence to convince all around you that you have mastery of the jargon. For example select words 8, 3 and 5 from columns 1, 2 and 3 respectively and hey presto you get: compatible + reciprocal + concept then when you want to impress you could say "I think we should be particularly concerned with the compatible reciprocal concept."
