    Specialist Tech Jargon

    Anyone have examples to offer from their field of work?

    My offering;


    PEBKAC - Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair

    NFU - Non-Functioning Unit (also No ******' Use)

    #2
    PEBKAC has always been a favourite of mine. Then there's also an "I" "D" "ten" "T" (that's how it's said), or ID10T...

            Not really an IT specific one but from my days as a manager at BT (pre IT contracting) one of my managers would quite often bark "JFDI" at me whenever I questioned her logic.

            "Just f****** do it".

            It is now one of my faves and shout it at the wife whenever possible

                  I don't really have any good ones. If someone is a **** I generally call them a ****. Must be all the isolation.
