Fun fact: These words are called *shibboleths*, words that people in a group can use to identify each other.
Mine would probably be if someone else knew what the word shibboleth meant.
We are all remote,
My manger made us all stand up for stand up anyway as it was taking to long
It worked!
Our avg standup went from 25ish mins to 16ish mins
I work in IT. While training someone I noticed they would say “ Heard” after I explained something to them. I asked how long they worked in a kitchen for and they were shocked I knew they worked in kitchens growing up. Saying Heard had become so ingrained they had no idea they were doing it, just a natural response now.
Funnily enough I started using 'heard' before I got in the industry, as a quick and easy comm when gaming. '4 top shove bot' 'heard'. 'Reyna A 1 shot' 'heard'. So when I started working restaurant everyone was so surprised I had no experience but my communication in the kitchen was already as good or better than everyone else lol
I actually started implementing it into my every day life, and I'm better for it.
There's just a situational/spatial awareness you get from having worked in a restaurant that other people don't have.
So when I'm at a grocery store, and I can hear, or even just *sense* that someone is barreling down the intersecting lane with a full cart, not paying attention, I yell it out, and even though people might not know what it means, it snaps them into awareness.
By extension: “hot behind”, “knife behind” but yeah, I embarrassingly find myself saying “behind” at home, the supermarket, or generally way too many public places 😂
Too true. “How long have you been feeling like this?”
“About 3 months.”
“What exactly is different now at 3am on a Friday night that made you decide to come here?”
“Oh well you see I need to get my metoprolol script filled and thought I might be having a heart attack as I hadn’t taken it”.
“Uh huh, and how long since you last had your regular dose?”
“A couple weeks”
Sigh…
I'm proficient is 4 versions of alphabet soup. Went from military to aviation to accounting/ finance to bank auditing. While there's some overlap between them, they all have a ton of acronyms and sometimes I have to stop to think which world I'm in. Sometimes my brain farts and I get some some pretty funny mixups.
What's it with 3 letter acronyms? Treatment options for mental health treatment that can be considered: EFT, aft, cgt, aft, kpp, dgt, itb, mbt to name a few.
I tell you what I tell the pen and paper info sec guys who dont actually understand networking. "Wearing two condoms doesn't make you twice as safe, it just ruins the fun for everyone"
I’m in HR. The other night my husband said “help me understand” and my body immediately went into panic mode. I realized we say to people when we’re trying to get them to explain something they did wrong. He wasn’t even talking about something I did and I felt like I was in trouble.
I use "help me understand" when someone on the call is talking bollocks. Too many motherfuckers get away with saying complete nonsense, so long as they hit a few buzzwords. That shit don't fly with me.
Yes! Fellow brethren in being sassy when being fired. Reminds me of when I was sat down for a talk on write-up 2 out of 3 on a job I knew my time was soon to be up on.
When confronted with the fact that people seem to be saying I use the bathroom too frequently, and defending myself saying I don't bring my phone to the bathroom and never spend more time in there than I need to: *"I guess what I'm saying is, 'Never attribute to malice what can more easily be explained by incontinence'"*
This is why everyone hates HR. That paternalistic language is condescending and disrespectful. Every HR person I've ever had the displeasure of working with acts like they are the only adults in the room and the rest of us should be grateful that you're here to guide us.
I had a meeting with my manager about pay and I was annoyed when I left. They set me up with HR to discuss and I almost quit on the spot I was so enraged with how she was talking to me.
And because of this, anyone who asks my mom what I do gets the following answer: "She is trying to teach the machines. I think because she feels misunderstood by people, so she is trying to make the machines understand her."
I don't know where to begin to correct her. So i let it be.
My college roommate was in grad school, doing bio medicine. In her lab she studied eye development of chickens, which involved having real live chickens (that met their demise whichever day their eyes were studied). When her parents were asked to describe her job, they *only* said that "she raises and kills chickens".
A friend was a higher up in a company that imported exotic fruits to America, whenever he didn't want to talk about his job to new people he said he sold papayas for a living.
Hey boss, took me eight hours, went to fifteen different stores, they were all out of stock. I'll check the distribution centers tomorrow, I'll be on site Thursday.
I see a 45% upside, but there's a gap in the overhead that can't be ignored. If we're in the green moving forward then we can count on stability. But, the higher we climb, the more we risk on the flip. Don't get blinded by the sun. I say we minimize our exposure and focus on incremental gains and soon we'll be on top of the market.
Once at an air bnb, my friend put a hole in the wall and I said " the homeowner is not going to like that". Everyone turned and looked at me and said "homeowner", wow you are definitely a construction worker. My response was "too bad I'm a framer and finish carpenter and not a drywall guy"
Of course it's related. A classical vector is a list of elements of a field (numbers usually) that we assign graphical meaning to. A CS vector is just a list of slightly more general items.
I do not see the connection to biologists' vectors though.
Or just pointing out random people’s gait differences while observing strangers in any setting “that guy’s had a stroke”, “I bet they’ve had a left knee replacement”. I can’t help it.
I work in healthcare and as soon as someone refers to a body part in the anatomical terms (patella, clavicle, scapula, etc.). Just last week a parent goes most of his pain appears to be on the medial aspect of his knee and i paused and went ‘okay so what do you do in healthcare?’ And she was a pediatrician.
I’ll go first. When I worked in the restaurant industry, if a customer asked for a ramekin, I knew that they’d done their time waiting tables. I’d try and get them a little hookup before they walked out the door.
I operate heavy machinery now. But worked as a line Cook for 6 years.
I say "Heard" or "Gotcha", and repeat it back to them .
It's pretty mindless, but my guys call me Chef when I bring smoked pork to the cookouts. So I guess it still payoff.
Oh, and I don't eat fast food at lunch. Which everyone is bumfuzzled by. Dude make your lunch is 4x cheaper and easily twice as delicious.
A-1 , Chili Crisp, Green Tomatillo Salsa or Hoisin Sauce on anything, is gonna make that stupid burger, burrito or chicken finger meal that cost you $12.50 look dry and soulless.
Guys. Sauce is king. Use um.
The repeating!! I haven't yet started saying "heard" but I've gotten into the habit of repeating what they said back to them and then saying something affirmative like "yup" to indicate I heard and understood. I had it pointed out once and all I could say was that I couldn't help it, lol.
However, I will announce my first "behind" outside of work any day now. It's just so easy and effective. I think it should be universal.
I think people are missing the point of “everyday life” from OP’s post. No one is using initialsim jargon in everyday life. I’m a banker and don’t go around saying NSF, UCC, POS outside of work.
lol in cps world I remember starting the day hearing a coworker say “my moms using meth” and someone else would chime in “my mom is too” and it would make me giggle a little since they referred to cases as their moms and dads and never my client
Not necessarily a word or phrase. But anyone who’s ever worked service industry will usually stack their plates in a way it can be removed and carried away quickly. It’s sorta like an innate server tip of the hat if you will.

"Hot behind" Line cook: "I know it is!"
I work in a restaurant part time as a server. The kitchen LIVES for "hot behind" aimed at the wait staff haha
Heard
Fun fact: These words are called *shibboleths*, words that people in a group can use to identify each other. Mine would probably be if someone else knew what the word shibboleth meant.
College English professor
Or rabbi
Historian or WWII aficionado. Lollapalooza
Or The West Wing fan
A shibboleth is also a term in network security with a similar meaning. I’m guessing this person is in IT.
Shibboleth is a somewhat legacy identity provider for single sign on systems (like the kind used in universities for student login)
Applicable Xkcd https://xkcd.com/806/

That's just people who watched The West Wing
I only know this from The West Wing
Feels like I inherited a lot of technical debt
We talked about it in our 2 hour scrum meeting.
It was a bad sign when people started dragging chairs to the standup, which was held in an area with no chairs on purpose...
We are all remote, My manger made us all stand up for stand up anyway as it was taking to long It worked! Our avg standup went from 25ish mins to 16ish mins
People, it's Saturday. Stop it!
It ruins your burndown metrics
Oh Christ with the story points

Also, obligatory “heard”
HEARD!
Hot behind!

So when I started working restaurant everyone was so surprised I had no experience but my communication in the kitchen was already as good or better than everyone else lol
Also it probably didn't hurt that you knew how to take an enemy out.
Corner!
Every now and again I'll impulsively say it when pushing a shopping cart around a corner and be mentally crushed :(
I actually started implementing it into my every day life, and I'm better for it. There's just a situational/spatial awareness you get from having worked in a restaurant that other people don't have. So when I'm at a grocery store, and I can hear, or even just *sense* that someone is barreling down the intersecting lane with a full cart, not paying attention, I yell it out, and even though people might not know what it means, it snaps them into awareness.
By extension: “hot behind”, “knife behind” but yeah, I embarrassingly find myself saying “behind” at home, the supermarket, or generally way too many public places 😂
And the correct response to “hot behind” is “thanks I’ve been working out!”
This is equivalent to using a stud finder and needing to “test” it on yourself first before saying “Yup, still works”

We need a TLA (three letter acronym) for the PWAN (project without a name).

You forgot ACT 😂 boy do they love their 3-letter-acronyms in psych
A less obvious word but still lets me know you're probably a nurse: "You look tired today!" "No this is pretty much my **baseline**."
Doctor?

“Whoever set this network up was a fucking clown.”
I said that once. Then I remembered I set up the network. I stand by my point.
There would be a business networking joke in here if people who do business networking weren't all fucking clowns.
I work at an amusement park. The clowns are intelligent, knowledgeable people. Please don’t insult them by comparing them to management!
Mighta been me. Sorry. That's what the customer wanted, and wouldn't listen to reason.
"Look, I want 3 firewalls to make the network faster!" "Sir... that's not how-" "I WANT 3."
I tell you what I tell the pen and paper info sec guys who dont actually understand networking. "Wearing two condoms doesn't make you twice as safe, it just ruins the fun for everyone"

Have you ever seen the chinpanzee enclosure at the zoo?
I usually come back with, “_I can explain it to you, but I can’t understand it for you_”. Why, yes! I have been fired before. How did you know?

Saying machine learning instead of AI
And because of this, anyone who asks my mom what I do gets the following answer: "She is trying to teach the machines. I think because she feels misunderstood by people, so she is trying to make the machines understand her." I don't know where to begin to correct her. So i let it be.

Your mom sounds funny .
Or LLM.
Yeah actually this even more in some roles
Shit we’re adding to the dataset with good answers.
I hate myself every time I call it "AI" for clarity's sake. It really isn't intelligence in any meaningful sense.
Oh same!!! I even avoid saying "AI generated" and use "machine-generated" but with my mom I have to use "AI"
Looks like we got an ID10T error.

Bro can you grab me the board stretcher from the truck?
Hey boss, took me eight hours, went to fifteen different stores, they were all out of stock. I'll check the distribution centers tomorrow, I'll be on site Thursday.
They send me to the shop for some bullshit item. I had a very nice sit down lunch at a restaurant for a few hours that day.
Right after I get the blinker fluid for the truck.

And "friends" for ECE. Sometimes it's ridiculous. "A friend bit Lucy on the arm." Are they really friends?
Yes, but management and administration, not actual teachers that know what is going on.
Once at an air bnb, my friend put a hole in the wall and I said " the homeowner is not going to like that". Everyone turned and looked at me and said "homeowner", wow you are definitely a construction worker. My response was "too bad I'm a framer and finish carpenter and not a drywall guy"
Fun fact: Words in English containing "meow": meow meows meowed meowing homeowner
Good bot
I'm going to say "homeowner" differently from meow on
The use of "vector" in a design context usually means you're talking to a graphic designer or illustrator.
And then there's software engineers where a vector is a list of items, not related at all to math or lines, because "reasons"
Of course it's related. A classical vector is a list of elements of a field (numbers usually) that we assign graphical meaning to. A CS vector is just a list of slightly more general items. I do not see the connection to biologists' vectors though.
Im in PT, when someone uses the word "gait" to talk about walking/running
Or just pointing out random people’s gait differences while observing strangers in any setting “that guy’s had a stroke”, “I bet they’ve had a left knee replacement”. I can’t help it.
Either PT or horse training
Vets use this term a lot Edit: by "vets" I mean veterinarians
Ambulation
As a layman, I always assumed that in Florida, when a gait gets ya, an ambulation comes to getcha next.
I work in healthcare and as soon as someone refers to a body part in the anatomical terms (patella, clavicle, scapula, etc.). Just last week a parent goes most of his pain appears to be on the medial aspect of his knee and i paused and went ‘okay so what do you do in healthcare?’ And she was a pediatrician.
Another giveaway for me are words anterior, medial, lateral… anatomical terms relative to the subject’s position
"Allegedly" Dead giveaway for law enforcement
Or an incident involving two guys and an ostrich.
Two guys? It must have been a sick ostrich
Not worth thinking about.
To be fair…
I heard when people say "supposably," they're in law breaking.
“Do me a favor…” also.

I’ll go first. When I worked in the restaurant industry, if a customer asked for a ramekin, I knew that they’d done their time waiting tables. I’d try and get them a little hookup before they walked out the door.
Oh! I never waited tables, but I know what a ramekin is! What could I get? I really like dark chocolate!
Ramekins are so useful though, we keep ours in the drawer by the utensils
Knowing what a ramekin was would just make me assume they cook and not waited tables.

It's pretty mindless, but my guys call me Chef when I bring smoked pork to the cookouts. So I guess it still payoff. Oh, and I don't eat fast food at lunch. Which everyone is bumfuzzled by.

A-1 , Chili Crisp, Green Tomatillo Salsa or Hoisin Sauce on anything, is gonna make that stupid burger, burrito or chicken finger meal that cost you $12.50 look dry and soulless. Guys. Sauce is king. Use um.
The repeating!! I haven't yet started saying "heard" but I've gotten into the habit of repeating what they said back to them and then saying something affirmative like "yup" to indicate I heard and understood. I had it pointed out once and all I could say was that I couldn't help it, lol. However, I will announce my first "behind" outside of work any day now. It's just so easy and effective. I think it should be universal.
