I love geeky terms. For instance, I can spend ages talking about CSS elements that won’t render properly in a certain crap browser to many of my online friends.
This is stating the obvious, but methinks one should avoid discussing – or even mentioning – computer-related terms with our less tech-savvy acquaintances, even in moments of weakness.

For one thing, humans are naturally curious…

Natalia: Feeling any better?
[I was whining about feeling tired earlier]
Me: I’m looking at random crap about MySQL databases, which is waking me right up.
Natalia: Uh… What is MySQL?

… And if you try to explain, they still won’t have any idea what you’re talking about.

Lulu: I keep talking to my mum about chkdsk.
“Oh, I could check it…”
“NOOO, MUM, IT’S NOT CHECK DESK, IT’S C-H-K-D-S-K!”
Me: …A.K.A. *headdesk* :g_doh:

Basically…

FAIL!
