Alternative Use of Tech Speak

Comment comment by markmcb on 13 December 2006

I personally like taking the technical meanings of words and expecting people to use them in conversation. One that always cracks me up is "or." For example:

You say, "Mark, do you want cake or pie?" I say, "yes."

Or, even better:

I say, "Bob, do you want cake xor pie?" Bob says, "huh?"

Granted, I'm usually the only one laughing, but that's good enough for me nand you. (bwaahahaha!)
