I'm sorry what did you just say?????

So I bumped into some friends the other day. Well truth be told I stopped by unexpectedly.

Don't get the wrong idea about me...there was an invitation extended once, and I finally said "Hey...I'm in the area why not now?"

So I hope I wasn't interrupting or intruding.

Anyways back to the blog. During the wonderful conversations that occurred there was a phrase that was uttered that left the rest of us looking like "I'm sorry what did you just say, and what does that mean exactly?"

the answer will be revealed some other day, but it reminded me of all those lovely phrases people come up with.

"Circus Bear Technology" - a phrase invented by some fellas I met while working at SUNY Empire state. Basically it was in reference to how some things got fixed with the same type of technology or what seemed to be the mentality behind a grizzly riding a tiny motorcycle or 17 clowns piled into a tiny car.

"Busier than a one armed paper hanger" ( personally I prefer a different variation - one legged man in an ass-kicking competition) - think about it visualize what would happen as he tried to kick someone in the bum and how that would make him busy.

From a friend who works in the telecommunications industry this little gem. "Communication - Just because we sell it doesn't mean we practice it." when referencing the inability to disseminate information through the company.

I don't think things like FUBAR or PEBKAC apply other than the fact they are funny they are don't really elicit the same kinda of ???? stare.

**** PEBKAC refers to the problems encounter by IT support people. Problem exists between keyboard and chair which leads to SEU syndrome (stupid end user).

Well hopefully I will get some interesting replies or comments which will add to the list.



toodles.
