Another f****** jargon thread

March 7, 2006 11:52 AM

It's like I'm reading a foreign language, and can pick out a few cognate nouns.

Most of the technical computer questions sound like this to me.

With phrases like

"I expect still the I gave in which be able customize the price... of another way I followed austere"

goliche would have been banned as a potential spammer before even making that famous metatalk post.

トリノ五輪を機に注目度が急上昇したカーリングの日本選手権女子が、８日から青森市スポーツ会館である。五輪で健闘したチーム青森の５人が出場する。

　スキップ（主将）小野寺歩は「五輪が終わって、すぐにまた状態を上げるのは大変」と話す。帰国後の練習は１日だけで、万全とは言い難いが「出るからには、五輪代表チームとして恥ずかしくない試合をしたい」。県庁などへあいさつ回りをしたほかは、３日間休みを取ってリフレッシュした。激戦続きの大舞台から戻ったばかりだが、気持ちの切り替えはうまくできそうだ。

Ortho's comment is actually pretty funny.
posted by Astro Zombie at 12:33 PM on March 7, 2006

It is funny. It's funny in the same way that those Cathy comics where she shakes her fist at the computer screen and goes, "ACK! TECHNOLOGY!" is funny.

...wait.

Ortho was pretty clear that he wasn't criticizing the post; just pointing out a peculiarity. I thought it was funny. Along the lines of Steve Martin's plumber joke way back when.

I had almost exactly the same thought when I read that question, and even more when I clicked through to the dedicated message board.

Oh, fucking jargon? I believe the preferred euphemism around here is "brisk rodgering".
