Cheeseburger and Swivelburgers.I was always been a fan of Cheeseburger for cheeseborough.
Somebody brought that up the other day in the office. I'm surprised they are still working here.... Frog Hair, Finer than Frog hair.One that seems to have fallen out of favor in recent years, probably for the best,
Oops! I just got deleted for inappropriate / unsuitable "tech(ie) slang. [and I'm not surprised.]One that seems to have fallen out of favor in recent years, probably for the best, is the CH. As in "take a CH off that board". Or for the very minute length adjustment, you could take off a red CH.
@bobgaggle Four or five decades ago up here north of the walls,
Cheeseburger and Swivelburgers.
Definitely a subset. All Burgers are cheeseburgers but not all burgers are swivel burgers. A codicil to this being the a swivel burger can be a burger but a burger cant be a swivelburger.Interesting... are swivelburgers a subset of cheeseburgers in this context, or are those terms used exclusively?
@Van "Codicil" and "ontological", both posted on Dave's Control Booth Forum on the same day; Impressive, Ontological sent me to my Funk and Wagnall's, I don't think it had previously penetrated little Donnie's walls.
Ontological with an N. It basically just says this exists because it does or must. St. Anselm Ontological argument for the existence of God was: "That which nothing greater can be conceived." Which is patently ridiculous but it holds sway among religious scholars to this day...@Van "Codicil" and "octological", both posted on Dave's Control Booth Forum on the same day; Impressive, Octological sent me to my Funk and Wagnall's, I don't think it had previously penetrated little Donnie's walls.

Talk about a hijack; how did we get from Tech Slang to Religious philosophy?
@NateTheRiddlerOne that I love: Fustercluck. Anytime someone unwittingly creates a giant mess through ignorance (or idiocy) I always throw it out there, with a very facetious undertone. “Oh, what a fustercluck.” The best part is, anyone with 1% or more dyslexia immediately corrects it in their head, and anyone else who hasn’t (somehow miraculously) heard it stops, thinks, and then realizes.

I have the minor lysdexia that often comes with ADHD. Seems to be getting worse as of late, especially when typing..... When talking, I frequently swap words in sentences, eg: I'm going to pull the garage in to the car. I catch it a little more than half of the time. Depending on who's around determines whether I correct myself or not. The rest of the time people either correct me or just look at me with a stupid look on their face trying to figure out what I just said or trying to decide if it was on purpose or if I know I did it. Always fun. Drives my wife nuts, but not as much as switching letters in words. I do that on purpose more than accidentally. You gotta be careful with some such as tape rule though. Go ahead, I'll give you a minute....One that I love: Fustercluck.
